Day 19 - What I Think of Religion or What I Think of Politics

I'd like to start by saying I don't care about politics! I absolutely don't care!!

Religion! That's a whole different story. I am a Christian. I believe in God; I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and He came to save the world from sin; I believe that Jesus died and rose on the third day; I believe in the Trinity - God, the Father, Jesus Christ, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; I believe . . . You get my point.

I don't believe in religion though. Religion is the cause of many troubles on earth today. Religion leads to fanaticism, and we have witnessed or heard about the results of those: people destroying human lives in the name of religion, and saving the world. If that is what religion is about, then we would all be better off without it.

I believe in relationship. Relationship is what matters, not religion. The word "Christian" means "Christ-like" and that is what I strive to be. I strive to have a relationship with my God and be "Christ-like." Christianity is not a religion. Christianity is a relationship; it's a way of life.
