Religion.... The utter meaning of religion(to most people) refers to strict laws of their people... And for the rest of us... religion is just another word... another term used merely to refer to our spirituality... Our spirituality which is often kept behind the curtain, kept in the dark... We(we, as in most fellow christians), are not compelled to pray as most people think... we are not compelled to attend church every week nor every day... We choose to...buildings, to me, do not matter... its not where we go to pray... it is where we stand under the eyes of God... the people and sincerity of the people which matter... How can someone say "not attending church is a sin"??... Worship, prayer and sincerity is, to me, the utmost importance in the realm of spirituality...
If a person who goes to church just for the sake of going, going to repent their sins knowing they're going to do the very same thing the next day, going just to dispose of the guilt of not praying or spending time with God, going to church just cause you're forced to...how could that make someone a better person than someone who is willing to spend as much time as he can talking and having a spiritual relationship with God??... church is not the only place where a relationship can be built with God... the presence of God hails all around us...
I try my best not to judge others(since no one is made perfect) and often don't... but I can't ignore the reality of the world when people come along about their daily lives and inevitably try their best to convince me into their "version" of religion...the "version" where people aren't allowed to join unless inherited in the veins of our body... the "version" where people carry out ridiculous and utterly senseless so called duties of God... the "version" where suicide bombing(taking many other innocent lives along with them) means a stairway to heaven... the "version" where killing others children of God who are not born of the same heritage is encouraged... the "version" where God's name is used in vain to achieve the greed of the human heart... the "version" where the freedom of people is no more important as a worldly property... the "version" where the miracle of life is less appreciated than the worldly consummerism... people often see no ends to the vanity of life...the arrogance to the fact that everyday we live is a miracle... a miracle which we, at most times, can't or won't apprehend... A miracle which others try to comprehend... a miracle of God
