Ok something intresting,
Annie, her boyfriend Neil, and I got into a discussion this friday. Annie (who not really religious, was talking about how on a Christian show people were saying that Planned Parenthood is giving out gift certificates for abortions, which Planned Parenthood is indeed giving out gift certificates but I'm sure you know they do more than abortions, well this put a negative view of religions (and Christians) in Annie's heart. Understanbly one cannot disagree that sometime (quite wrongly) relgion can be used as weapon of distruction. This led into why people need religions, need God, and say that they are these awesome people and then close themselves off to so much.
so here I some of my thoughts on religions
It's not a bad thing to question religion, the more you question it the more objective your view is and the more it almost seems to make sense. It also seems that religion is best when it is PERSONAL. From the discussions we had religion can (but isn't always) dangerous when is it brought to the masses because then people get into that mob mentality but with faith. And to argue over which religion is right..POINTLESS!..People feel and see faith differently, there is no right way to see it. Some view God as an entity, I view God as an energy, who is to tell me I am wrong? We feel the same things but in different ways. Church gives people the same feeling nature and friends give me. I don't really know where I'm going with this (it's hard sometimes to make points when you haven't got anyone to bounce it off of) so I guess I leave this topic with the message of THINK, QUESTION!!! these are not bad things!
