Blog #5
I watched
the religion video. I agree with the guy’s poem. I think he made a lot of good
points and he said some pretty powerful stuff. The last couple years of my life
I have really been thinking about how I don’t necessarily believe everything
that goes on in church. I just don’t think that you have to go to church and
sing and confess in order to get into heaven.
I think
religion is man made. It’s an idea. I always think about what would happen to a
person that isn’t able to go to church. Would they go to hell because they can’t
confess or have never been baptized? I just have a hard time believing that
it’s THAT important. I think faith is personal. No priest can forgive you for
your sins. I think that if you know in your heart what you did was wrong and
you truly want to be forgiven, then you will be forgiven.
This poem
had many powerful lines in it. The line that hit me that hardest was, “And
while being murdered, he yelled Father forgive them, for they know not what
they do. Because while he was dangling on that cross, he was thinking of you.”
That actually gave me goose bumps when I first heard it.
I haven’t
watched any of the response videos yet because I didn’t want them to alter my
opinion in any way. I’m sure many people were offended by this video because
he’s bashing the church but he didn’t say anything that wasn’t true.
After
learning about Martin Luter and his 95 theses, I really think I may change my
religion to Lutheran. I just think he so right. I don’t think the church is
still corrupt like it was but there’s so many unnecessary things that go on in
the church. I guess its kind of ironic that I’m agreeing with a video that
saying to get rid of religion but I’m also considering changing to another
religion. I may only do that whenever I have a family.
For now, I’m
going to continue believing that faith is personal and I’m going to keep
strengthening my faith in God. Its what I truly feel is right in my heart.
