In my previous post, I commented on the meaning of Christmas. However, I realized that not everyone celebrates Christmas. I have been reading a book entitled "The Dark Side of Christian History," and it talks about December 25, and why some people choose not to celebrate that day as Christmas. I will not go into the story but I must say that I understand where they are coming from.
I am working on my "explaining a concept" essay, and I realized that there is so much out there that I never knew about different religions. Many people resist learning about different religions, but I think it is necessary. I think that people should talk about their faith and be open to other people's viewpoints. If religious communities encourage peace, then isn't it ironic that conflicts form because of opposing views?
A few years ago, I attended a Hindu temple and it was a great experience. The alter was beautiful and the chants were very soothing. I told a lady there that I was Catholic and she was very welcoming. I am continuing to learn about other beliefs.
Furthermore, I believe Joyce Meyer when she said:" We were not put on this Earth to find religion. We were put here to find God."
