Blog 3 - Religion
Hi dear reader.
Today, I will write of the importance of religion for me.
If I wrote in a few words how I feel about religion, I would say it´s of
no importance, simple, but it was still, for a long time, part of my life.
Approximately to the 12 years old, I developed and lived within an evangelical
church. My whole family attended since I can remember, in fact, my grandparents
were one of the founding families.
I´m constantly thankful for getting out of that environment (I know, it
sounds a little weird) but it was very toxic and hid a lot of envy, evil and
greed in the "celestial background". This may sound very anti-religious,
but unfortunately the pain they caused in my family produced a strong rejection
in me, apart from very small I never liked to attend.
You might consider that I´ve lost faith and if it´s true, but not
really. I would say it has changed perspective, has become something more
natural, more free, outside of oppressive religious canons. I no longer
believe in that magical god, almost like a false god, I see a general deity out
of the reach of our understanding, which is evident in nature and in what surrounds
us, in short, what the world gives us is our god.

Very interesting blog. Personally, I had never seen it from that perspective.
ResponderEliminarI'm glad to hear how your perspective changed, i think faith is so personal that it shouldn't be guided to you by any kind of institution.
ResponderEliminarI've seen many people being dissapointed with institutions like you, to the point that religion makes no sense to them. I'm glad that you managed to get out of that toxic enviornment
ResponderEliminarHi, i liked reading your post. I think that religion has an importance in humanity but i can see all the toxic side of the institucionalized religion.
ResponderEliminarI like how your perpesctive change in 180°, like the deities may be among us
ResponderEliminarI really like the change you made to the way you see "religion"! Like you, I have a distaste for those oppressive and toxic religious institutions
ResponderEliminarI'm so sorry that you went through that and changed your mind. And it is ok, you choose your good ...
ResponderEliminarMore than comment you perspective of religion, i see the same thing respect of the church,in my case , the christian church, where the most people who came to this church, it was people envious,greedy and in general sense, bad people. This situation it made me change my perspective to the churchs in general sense.
ResponderEliminarI have met many people with similar experiences regarding religion and I share your point of view!
