For just about my whole life I've been told there is a God and I would happily pray with my family. I never thought that there wasn't a God because I didn't think I could choose for my self. One day I told my family about this and they were fine with it which amazed me. They told me to pray every time I needed help which I did. Their acceptance pushed me to tell my friends and that day I began to believe in having our own personal opinion. I've always been a Christian and haven't thought of converting. However, I am beginning to become skeptical about whether or not there is truly a God.
I became skeptical due to going to a school called The First Academy where they would always talk about God and think less of those who didn't believe in him. Yet they showed no proof of his existence and only said that others were wrong. I believe that I should be able to hold off from a religion and choose to believe in God or not until I have actual facts of his existence. I am still Christian but until I have actually seen or have proof of his existence I will never truly have a preferable religion. I enjoy the freedom of having an opinion and believe that we should allow everyone to have their own opinion, however, most religions are not like that. They are almost always stating that they are right and others are wrong. They believe they have proof but never show it.
Atheism states that there is no God. I do not believe or disbelieve in God and its terrible that some people don't have the choice to do the same, due to a highly religious family or something along those lines. I acknowledge the fact that some people believe in God, Buddha, or Allah and I won't tell them otherwise until I know for sure there is or isn't a God.

Rock on dude! I totally agree with you! It's also cool that I found another christian in this school!
ReplyDeleteI agree i think that it is strange when people say that they are right when they can never give any proof. I also don't have a difined belief and like being able to think what I want.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a powerful entry. It is normal to wonder about God and to form your own beliefs. I appreciate your honesty in sharing your journey. One of the things I love most about NFS is that there are people of many different faiths and backgrounds and we all respect one another. I am glad you are here Kobe.
ReplyDelete3.5/5 points. There are technical errors in this piece. I will review comma usage in class. I think that would be helpful for you.
