Hey everone!
I really like hearing other people's opinions on their reilgion (even if I don't always agree with them) and I would like it if you feel like putting yours here lol.
As for me, I don't have a strong belief in anything really. I have opinions but I don't follow anything by the book. I'm still just exploring the world in a way (I'm 15 so I've got a lot to discover lol). I don't know much about a lot of religions, i mostly know christianity.
And honestly I don't really like it.
Where to begin... well, first of all I don't like how it basically says "believe in God or go to hell", lol. There are all these rules that are more like morals that someone could have, but just because you dont follow them 24/7 shouldn't mean that your gonna be punished for them. I mean everyone "sins" with little white lies and stuff like that. If I told my teacher that I left my homework at home as an excuse because I hadn't done it at all would I be punished?
Yes, it's good of it to tell people not to do bad things, but everyone knows that. When we're young, it's one of the first things our parents teach us. Story books tell us that in the end good conquers all and in the cartoon shows it's always the heroes who are victorious. Even the bad guys know that. In fact, that's why they're bad, just to get on everyone's nerves.
Besides that, what gets to me is how people say that God is good, that he can do everything and knows all. If that's true, then he knows that our world is unfair and cruel and that some people are really mistreated, homeless and have no food or water while others are like kings and queens. Why didn't he/she/it/whatever just make everything right? Why is it that we have to go down on our knees and beg for his/her/its help? Did he/she/it create this beautiful planet just to watch humans pollute and destroy it? (I probably sound mean right now but it makes me mad, sorry)
There are some other things too but I think you've had enough now lol. I'm interested in hearing what you have to say! (I can feel the arguments coming... haha)
