The golden Buddha statue in the temple.
    Bali has more religious freedom then any country I have ever been to. On this island 100 miles wide are Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Annimystics, and Christians. It seems everyone cooperates with each other and respects each other.
    I suppose this has to do with the fact that the majority of people are Hindus and their view of the others is that they are praying to different faces of the one God.
    There are many in my homeland that would say all but the Christians will burn in hell. Personally, I can't believe that is the case.
