Scary topic isn’t it? I was talking to some friends recently, and decided to post my views on here. I am not at any point saying that my views are right and others are wrong, simply stating what I believe.
From a young age we are taught that there are many religions in the world and that there is only “one” that leads down the right path. We are taught to look upon the people who believe in things differently than us as wrong.
People who don’t know about Christianity mix it up with Catholicism and the Jehovah’s witnesses, and in the end with all their views it gives the simple, good Christians a bad name. People start looking at them as if all they do is, try to force their views down other people’s throats when that is not true.
Same goes for Muslims. You say something like;
I have Muslim friends.
And, straight away someone pipes up;
why are you friends with terrorists and suicide bombers.
There is a branch of a religion, known as extremists who give the others a bad name, and that is a horrible cross to bare for the rest.
We aren’t all that different, we have our own beliefs. The way I see it;
There is only “one” God in the Universe and each religion belongs to him, be he called Buddha, Allah, Jehovah, or Jesus.
I think that there is an infinite space in the universe for every heaven and hell, and each person who follows a specific religion will go to theirs.
And I think that as long as a person is Kind, Honest, loving, and tries to help people who are worse of than him, is a good person with a beautiful soul and should be respected no matter where they come from and what they believe in…
This has weighed down in my chest for a long time.
The world these days is becoming a war zone between religions.
No one trust anyone, and we are now living in fear of extremists…
I pray that one day soon we will find peace in the Equality & Diversity of this world and that we learn to accept each other.
