My argument deals with religion. I believe from my
own interpretations that the only similarity in religions all over the world is
that it is was FIRST used to define what people considered to be sacred. TODAY
religion is used to define people by which god or gods they choose to follow.
Truly, what does that even mean? People should value what they feel is sacred,
and find ways to appreciate and celebrate it. These sacred things could be nature,
sight, hearing, touching, tasting, living, having sex, communicating, raising
children, spending time with friends and family. Don't those things seem more
important to finding what makes us people be who we are, more than fighting
over whose religion is the best?
Furthermore a person who is being told what to
believe isn't making their own thoughts.
Religion, if it exists at all, should be more about giving expression to
certain values that are good for society, like the ten commandments but without
the god talk. Religion shouldn’t be
about telling people what to believe about truth. A person should find what is important to them
and say individually what they believe is right. If someone follows a god
and is told that to not believe a small detail in that religion means big
problems, that person should get the clue that something is seriously wrong
there. They should know that they are
being tricked. Whether religious or not,
people should not fight over each other's values and we should define what is
sacred.
