Well, I was just wondering why it made you depressed. I thought maybe you participated in one of the passion walks.
Anyways, the place to me was a place of great historical and cultural impact. I was never a believer in the factual base for the bible, so it did little to me from that respect.
I also didn’t need to visit that particular spot to feel very saddened by all the pain and suffering people have inflicted upon others in the name of religion.
So from that respect I don’t share your feelings. Overall I was very happy to have been there and I feel it has given me more of a cultural understanding of that part of the world and all of its tensions. I live in a Muslim (Middle Eadtern) country now and again I’m saddened by the inequality in the world and the unnecessary hatred that goes around. Especially in the Middle East.
