I was looking at photos and reading about Journeys of Faith on MSN Travel, listing "the most significant pilgrimage destinations of the world’s religions." The list includes temples, and city's of historical relavence, Mosques, shrines and sanctuarys, marking places of visions, or birth places of historical religious leaders.
It seems to me that these are destinations of pilgrimages to worship people and man-made endeavors. If/when I take a pilgrimage, it will be to experience God, myself. Not to admire the places where others, a long time ago, experienced God. And I do believe that I will better experience God on a mountain top than inside a temple. Perhaps that is just me.
If you were going on a pilgrimage, where would you go?
