Religion 01/06

Why do we argue about it? Honestly, isn't it all the same. We say as catholics that we are universal because that's what catholic means but you know there is some uneasiness. What does it matter what religion you are or what you practice every day. We are still praising God, are we not. Does it matter where we practice it and who we pray with. What name we call God, father, Allah, Buddha. Of course some religions have many gods, but isn't it just an extension of the one true God. Couldn't we learn how do pray better, be better from other people. Couldn't we all learn how to treat our bodies, our temples to God, better from someone who’s view is different from ours. Do we just discriminate from others and assume by what they wear or what they practice. Shouldn't we see there belief in what say and do. How things get lost in translation because they can’t get past the outside. How bout looking on the inside for a change. Not seeing what they put on the outside, but the desire and pureness on the inside. How they treat others and themselves. We are suppose to be universal. We are suppose to glorify the God that created us. We can’t hinder it by disliking our own brothers and sisters. We are an extension of each other. We should help each other, not hinder it. We are such passionate people and at times the passion goes to the wrong thing. We must not only look inside ourselves but also the others around us. Sometimes the best way to find ourselves is in others. Isn't that the true religion. When we find ourselves; we find the piece that connects us to our creator. Not our earthly creator, but God. It’s true we can God everywhere; nature, people, music, art, literature, anything. If you can find the passion, then you have found God.
