Okay so I had an incident while sitting in class. I am sure some of you have had the same. I never believed how akward it really is. A very nice girl sits across from me and in an exercise where we had to talk to eachother she brings up the topic of God and suddenly right in the middle of Communications class wants to save my Non-God believing soul. I am shocked and infuriated that just because I don't partake in her religion that I am automatically doomed in her eyes. I sure those who are reading this that are of different religions are very understanding. I informed her that I was a spiritual person and that if I were to choose a religion it would be Buddhism. (This is true for me)
....Well... this did not please her one bit.
"Brittney, the only way to salvation is through God."
Really? I don't believe that. I think that if you live a more meaningful and fulfilling life with the religion of YOUR choosing then the whole purpose of religion has been fulfilled. To me, religion and spirituality gives purpose to your life. I mean without some sort of hope we just get stuck on "we're going to die" and "what's the point." So why is any one religion bad? I think they are all equal. If you sat back and put them all into perspective, don't they all basically say to be a good person, don't lie to your mom, respect people, don't steal your neighbor's prized donkey? I mean really. I think it should be some sort of unspoken social code to respect another religion or lack there of religion.
What do you guys think??? I would love to hear what you think. Well that is unless you are going to tell me that your religion is the only right religion. In that case, exit my page, go to the blogrings link, type in "'insertyourreligonhere' fanatics online", press search, and talk with those people. Because I don't wanna hear anymore about how my potential Buddhism is wrong. Jeez.... lol
