My Hatred For Religion My Love For God

The latest victim is a french priest, murdered in his church by killers shouting “Allahu akbar!” Following such attacks, Muslim leaders assure us that, as Tariq Ramadan said after the Paris massacre, the murders are “a pure betrayal of our religion". After the shootings in Brussels, the leading Sunni university, AL-Azhar issued a statement saying, “These heinous crimes violate the tolerant teachings of Islam”. The Church started killing unbelievers as early as the 4th century. The killing (often with torture) of heretics, church splinter groups, dissenters, atheists, agnostics, deists, pagans, infidels, and unbelievers was supported by almost all mainstream Christian theology for over a thousand years, starting with the intolerant St Augustine (died 430 AD).

For as long has history itself could remember Religion as always been associated with violence I knew hatred might seem like such a strong word to use seeing that most people can't tell the difference between having blind devotion towards a sect (religion) and having a personal and intimate relationship with God. Most people say religion is as old as God to those who believe that you are entitled to your own opinion. We live in a world filled with so many limitations opposing us, that not enough the so called religions who are supposedly the bearer of good news or carrier of peace are most times the backbone of most violence. Spiritual emptiness is a universal disease that everyone suffers from. While the cure for it does not lie within a particular religious sect, there could be an argument that religion is important, and that without it there will be no way to God. To me, this is just empty excuses we make as humans to feel alright with the decision that we make when we know within us it's wrong.

Religion is all about getting and never giving back if they do it mostly for a reason. If they are mostly focused on the number of people they have in their sect, it's also one of the most prosperous business organization here on earth if I can say so, I guess I can since I just wrote it down. When I speak of religion I mean the whole lot from Christianity to Islam to the least popular. The funniest part is within some religious sect there is much disunity, for example, the religious sect Christianity have so many denominations its hard to keep track of them and they all have a different belief. They all use one book the Bible but all have a different way of interpreting it to suit themselves, so many Fanatics are religious people.

Religion should stop being materialistic and focus on the most important issue which is unifying people from different background together. No matter what we all call God in our different religious sect we all refer to one supreme being which we all claim to love, so why can't they be unity. Most people are more catholic, baptist, Anglican, protestant or Islamist than they have more personal relationship with God.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
