heey. kinda a response to a friend’s blog…

people should never be easily convinced that one specific religion is correct, but use their own reasoning skills to develop the truth. its easy to simply select a “religion” and follow the rules, but its harder to use reason to figure out the truth. thats how come we have so many radical religions killing one another. they never took the time to figure out if what they were doing is..well..rational and reasonable. if we used rational thought and combined it with religion, or the belief in God, we wouldn’t have that problem because clearly a rational, God-inspired person would not go about killing others. it wouldnt make sense.

umm.. idk i have never completely agree with any one religion’s view of God and the truth. i like hearing what other people believe and have to say about it. then i like to reason with it, and formulate my own beliefs…

you really dont have to “pick a religion” but it is good to go to church and have a group of people that share similar/common beliefs… like im technically catholic..but when i go to mass, i dont always believe everything i am told. that doesnt make me a bad catholic or a bad christian…it just shows that im interested enough to really think about it and maybe even challenge that…

and by challenging it, that doesnt mean i do not have faith. i believe that my challenging the common held belief builds my faith…because i spend a lot of time reading the bible to determine the legitimacy of that specific belief.

Also…i think its good to get different perspectives. thats one reason why i started going to the DC. Getting these different perspectives has only built my faith. I am now more interested than ever in simply knowing the truth…so i spend a lot of time digging through the bible.

ultimately there is one truth. no one knows who is right/wrong. but there is a right and a wrong. the only tools we have to decipher right from wrong is our own reason and the word.

that was kinda rambley. but i like rambley.
