Religion

Hot button topic. I generally avoid talking about it but, while I'm thinking about it, I'll write about it. Christianity is a funny entity. It's a religion based on immaculate conception, resurrection from the dead, and an almighty being who made the world in six days. I believe all of that, I am a Christian, but I think it's funny how some members of the Christian flock have the balls to say that other religions are crazy. Really? Look at your own religion. I digress. The holy text of Christianity is the Bible. When you attend church, you are told how to interpret the bible. I believe that meaning is something that you have to find for yourself. If there are people out there who are Christians, but never interpret the Bible for themselves, how can these people find meaning in Christianity? I'm not a biblical scholar by any stretch of the imagination, but as of late I've attempted to read the Bible and reflect on it a couple times a week. I want to find the meaning for myself I suppose. Thank God I don't live in the middle ages, otherwise I'd be a prime candidate for burning at the stake or some other medieval method of dispatching the heretics. I guess what I'm wondering is if looking for meaning in a faith based idea is folly. Maybe so, but I think I'll keep trying, if nothing else I'll be well informed.

Much Love,
