Peace and Love: God's Motto

How it feels being Nondenominational

Peace and Love: God's Motto

In this day and age, there are a lot of different types of people with completely different views. With all the different types of religions involved, I believe some judge a little too quickly. Even though we have many religions and many viewpoints, that does not determine who we are.

I grew up walking into many different types of Christian churches and I always felt like each one told me something different or did things differently. I did not like some things they did, but I still went for my family. This is why I could never hate some atheists that were not given a good view on religion, because I often felt like I didn't. I did not want to tell myself I did not believe in God just because I did not believe some Christian ways. I am nondenominational, because I believe in God in my own way. I feel like there is way too many different views on religion when in all honesty, I believe it is just me, my love for God, and the love God shows me each and every day.

In today's society, I feel as though it's hard to comprehend, because we are always fighting with one another, judging based on who we chose to be, and having no love. God has always only wanted love and peace. Some people who try to represent this are often the ones doing most of the damage. An example of this is people being in accepting of race.

With all this hate, I can only trust myself and God. There is too much hate in this world and not enough of appreciation in what we were given. Be different and be yourself. We should not judge religion, race, sexuality, or anyone for being themselves. The only way "Love" has been shown, is hatred. Just give peace a chance and show some love.
