Lo Spirito del Giappone (Leonardo Vittorio Arena)

Shackle their minds when they're bent on the cross

"Shackle their minds when they're bent on the cross When ignorance reigns, life is lost" Religious fanatics prey on the minds of those who are lost or weak. These people get brainwashed by their religion and can't see faults in what they've been taught to believe. They turn…
