Growing up as a Christian /CatholicI was forced into my ways of belief by family memebers and friends of the Church. Now that I have grown to function alone I can think and generate opinions of my own. As I developed and grew out of my Catholic ways, which was to traditionally going to church on Sundays and attend Church class, I find myself interested in other religious beliefs. This interest in other religions gives my mind infinite wonders of whats real and whats just structure.
Buddhism is one of the most interesting religious structures to me. I work at a pharmacy and an African American patient continues to teach me and preach to me about her beliefs and practices as she pick up her psychiatric prescriptions but to me shes not so psychotic at all. The theory of the transfer of energy compared to what I use to believe in through the Christian Church are beyond different but religions are the practically same in how they drag vast amount of souls into a whirlpool of imaginary certainty with energetic faith. A question I often ask myself is whats real, whats fake and also whats a waste of time. I can understand where the belief of nothings exists fits in.
I can certainly agree with what you are saying here. Religion is kind of imposed on us by our family and friends and when we want to explore other possibilities we are shunned. I think this was well written and thought out.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Laura and how the religion is imposed by our families and culture. I was also heavenly involved in the catholic church with many rituals and beliefs that made me question if other religions were the same as mine.
