The Religion Effect
August 15, 2008
It has been said that at a dinner party you should never discuss religion or politics as it will always end in an awkward dispute with at least one person offended. I am not sure of my exact beliefs, though surely there must be something after this life. Who is to say it is not reincarnation or heaven or the next dimensional level?!
What worries me is that every single devastating war that the World has seen is down to religion. Why is it such an issue that we have differing beliefs? Why can we not respect each other’s cultures and live in harmony? Surly after all religion is about love and living together?
I always think; are we really so different? Is it not better to have beliefs than no beliefs at all? As a child I was brought up a protestant, though I find some aspects of all religion unbelievable; especially with the scientific knowledge we now have. How exactly could God create the World in 6 days when we are told by some of the most intelligent people in existence that the big bang theory is how it actually came about?
I think to a certain extent religion is what drives a divide amongst us. We should have a ‘no religion day’ to celebrate everyone, irrespective of beliefs. Surely as long as we live with good ethics religion is irrelevant.
