religion, belief, and judgement

Tweet

all three of these go together but cause such hot debate. why does one choose one religion over another, why is theirs the "one and only true religion", why is it people feel the need to judge others because their beliefs differ from their own. my take on religion. it can be a wonderful thing, it can be a horrible thing. if it is used to put down people, control them, degrade, fight, judge...then of course i don't agree with it. but i don't blame the religion but rather the people that are practicing. these people have misconceptions about their own religion because i don't believe any religion was created for these ends. i feel that religion can be a wonderful way for someone to express their beliefs and show their love for a higher power. i will not call this higher power by any name because i am not pinpointing any one religion or belief system. i think religions are often used to separate people when they were created to bring them together.
