Ok so we all know & hear about the bad things in regard to some religions
I honestly probably see more of this than I do the good things or people posting about the good things to be honest
We live in a world where many people think religion has no place anymore
Many young people seem to feel if you follow a religion you must be narrow minded & blind...sometimes that can be the case, there's no denying it
But when you ask them why?
Some of the things they say are in fact living by the Old Testament which, let's face it is pretty brutal..it is & as it should be a thing of the past....history...long done away with for the most part
If they understood a true Christians purpose & faith they would probably relies the values, morals etc are more closely related to to their own than not
Yes there is still room for change in a lot of organized religions with some even taking this on board...more power to them
The new pope seems like a pretty rad dude
I like him
There has been some awful corruption & some terrible things done in organized religion over the years, in some religions it's still going on but that can be said for anything....police, schools, families just about anyone & anything is open to corruption
That's human nature, not the religion or organization itself, & most normal religious people are horrified at the history of some churches but I say again that is the person & the choices they make & to blindly follow in the footsteps of corruption makes a pretty tragic person
But like life in general some things should not be tolerated, worshiped, or followed...change is happening as these organizations learn to grow & "catch up" it just may be slow in some cases but hey at least they are willing for change
I ask you though if you are one of those that has a zero tolerance to all religions....what does that make you?
Are you not just like those religious fanatics that try to push the word of god onto everyone?
Hmmm something to consider, yes?
Don't tar all religions with the one brush...or all Christians as one mindless flock there is good & bad in everything.
Maybe educate yourself properly, talk to different people from different religions before making a biased judgment based on what others say or what you've read
& above all respect someone else's views even if they may be different to yours.
Religious & non religious alike...let's strive for equality
As long as they aren't trying to force you to join them, who are you to force your opinion onto them & tell them they are stupid?
Sure they can follow some pretty stupid views in my eyes...but that could be said of a lot of things
Not all religions are the same, not all religious people hold the same blind views
& some people take real comfort from what some religions have to offer them
Where do you think most organized charities spring from?
They can do a lot of good as well...remember that
I don't like it when religious people try to tell me my views are wrong or that their religion is the only right way
but I equally don't like it when narrow minded people who don't understand faith pick on, ridicule or put down someone for their religious beliefs
This was written because I've seen a bit of religion bashing lately, it might be worth stepping back & looking at yourself first
I'm not saying you should or shouldn't follow a religion all I'm saying is it's not all bad and maybe do your research before you go hating on it and it's followers...
Peace, Love & Joy to all <3
