Christianity

TODAY'S TOP NEWS: CHRISTIANITY. Yea, I knoe it's a weird topic expecially coming from me i guess. But it's something quite interesting i'd like to share. If you look around the internet or just type christianity under google image search, you find alot of jokes bout our/my religion. Just a few quotes. 

Christianity: A religion which people believe in a magical jewish zombie whose father created mankind from mud. Believers then symbolically eat his fleash and communicate to him through telekinetic powers.


Yes, i know some of you may find this absurb and may even be upset by it. But i invite you to take a step back and look at it. It is understandable why some find our religion ridiculous. But what they do not understand, or mention for that matter, is the miricales that our Lord provides us. And even then sometimes people try and find reasons for these happenings but as in the bible, " Blessed are those who have not seen but yet believe." We cannot blame those who do not understand our religion and mock us but in fact (correct me if i'm wrong) we should pity them. For they have not seen the glory and power of our Lord. Take the example of Saul (aka Paul).

Another issue I'd like to address is somewhat related. For some reason, people seem to see people of different religion as a difference when in fact it should be something that unites us all. I don't think any (sane) religion teaches you how to murder and fight but they teach you all the same morals. How to love, how to forgive, how to embrace each other etc etc. We often think that our religion is the only way to go. But if you at it at a different perpestive, it's another way of worshiping the same God(lol, ironic). In a sense, we are all worshiping the same God just in a different manner.


The final issue is doubt. Doubt, i believe, is the most common sin that we do not confess in a confession (either we forget or we push it aside). It is but human nature that we feel the urge to understand how things work and when something happens that we cannot understand, we go two ways. One, we doubt and start asking how does he do it. Two, we stand in awe and believe that the man is divine. My mom (oh my goodness again??) shared with me something interesting. It's a theory that when man tries to understand something, that something changes shape/form. It's as if the thing doesn't want us to understand it. And it is where the gift of faith comes in. A true believer of anything, does not need prove to believe in something. Gets you thinking huh.
