I Am Not A Good Writer Still I Like To Write My Thoughts
Day 3- WHat are your religious views
Hmmm, interesting one, and a very touchy to some people. Now this is a tricky one, because of how i roll.
See, there used to be a time I considered a Christian- going to church every Sunday and Wednesday night, drinking in the pastor's weekly sermon like a sponge. Bt even then, though I siad and did all the right things, I knew Christianity wasn't all making sense to me.
Then last year, a grand shift in my life occurred. I went to college. Now last semester, I took a class called "Religion in America" which I thought was pretty cool because I wanted to get more knowledge on all these religions and how they correlated with history. Then I found one of the older religions that our founding father (well most of them) took part in- Deism. It was created by Thomas Jefferson and basically the belief is that there is a God who created the world, but in no way shape or form intervenes with everyday life. As I learned more, I began to realize this was something I could be totally down with. So that's how me and my college roommate became full-fledged modern day deists.
However, I haven't came out to my family- or my church family. Wouldn't that be an awkward talk. So these days, I still play the good christian girl, I attend church twice a week, worship and sing and listen to the word of God, but in the back of my mind, I'll know I'm only for the mission of my church, and not the word. I love helping other people and making a difference in everyday lives you know? It makes you feel really good on the inside and impacts your community. But that's it-nothing more.
