Does religion make you a good person? And does that make you
a bad person if you don’t believe in a religion? My opinion is partially formed
by knowledge of others’ stories. I think
that most religions set a very good example for their followers. They teach
them more than stories and Gods. They teach good morals and other things like
its bad to swear. They teach that you should give and help others, do the right
thing. These are all things that are incredibly good traits to obtain and habits
to make. But if you don’t believe in a religion or follow their examples, does
that make you bad? Does it make me a bad person? Well, not that its my point
but, people who follow religions or believe in God have murdered, stolen,
coveted, etc. they’ve committed “sins”. They’ve also broken laws. Ive never
murdered anyone or stolen. I rarely talk
back to my parents, I follow rules, I do my best, I try to help others, I try
to be polite. That’s not to say that I always do those things but I do try to
most of the time. Does it make me bad that sometimes I get mad and talk back to
my parents? That I might tell a lie once in a while? Well, doesn’t everyone no
matter if they affiliate with a religion or not? Itd be crazy if they didn’t.
this world would be filled with peace. I don’t think im a bad person because I don’t
go to church and I don’t think everyone who believes in God is good either.
These thoughts are random, so I apologize if
they seem out of order. The last thing I want to bring up is I am still growing
up, meeting new people, learning new things, trying to keep an open mind, etc.
and im not sure of my future. Heck, I don’t know what I want to do when I grow
up, I change my mind every other week. I don’t know where ill be a year after
college or 10 years after that. Im not sure if ill have a job or a house in
this economy. Im not sure if ill be planning a wedding or just getting to know
a guy I just met. But where ever I land, im sure ill have heard more than I please
about politics and religion. I may meet someone who persuades me into believing
in a religion. That might not be a bad thing, im open to it, but I don’t want
the bible telling me what to believe and what not to believe. I still want to
think for myself, form my own opinions and thoughts, theories, etc. I might
just base my beliefs on something, who knows? Isn’t it great, that no one does
know? Well, I find that exciting. (:
