Promised Land?
What do you think of the notion of a promised land? You might first think of the jews, and their claim that God has promised them the land of Israel. But also, I believe this thought permeates through a lot of different religions and times.. for instance, people make pilgrimages, and build shrines in most every religion, often as a marking of their own miniature "promised land". And how about the evangelical americans who seem to think the promised land is america? how about mormons? what about mecca and rome?
