Graças a Deus…
A few years ago when I took Portuguese over the summer, we watched a documentary on Brazilian favelas. I haven’t managed to forget the woman who proclaimed, “Graças a Deus, não sou religiosa.”
Seems a strange thing to pass along the day before Easter, and I apologize to the gentle AKMA, but folks watching today’s news will perhaps understand why it sprang to mind.
Enough temptation to hatred and groupthink I have; religion I do not need to add to that devil’s brew. So I repeat: Graças a Deus, não sou religiosa.
