what's in a religion
The other night, I was out with friends. And I'd say that in many of our conversations, religion is definitely not out of topic.
So there we were, talking about religion and I realized that there's really nothing to debate or talk about. I'll say this and I know that people will agree that, when it comes to religion, no one ever wins. It always depends on how we view faith. Once a person is set on a particular set of beliefs, no one can ever veer him into their perspective of who god is or what is good.
I am not the religious type. I'm more like spiritual (and that's what I want to believe). I don't like going to church, following religious traditions or anything that screams out "religiousity." I still believe in God and I believe I'm still a believer of the Catholic religion. It's just that I want my experience with God to be more personal or more individualistic that I don't have to do those stuff that make me feel awkward.
But then, in this age where religion to many is an ornament, if not unessential, I feel that there is a greater need to show a little vocation, a commitment to faith. And, regardless of how you want to perceive death, higher beings, or holy interventions; people need to identify themselves to a community where they can share thoughts and clear out confusions.
And so, enough about religion. While this may be the last time I'll ever write about it, give me at least a year and maybe my views will change.
