I do have faith in God but don’t believe in any religion… There is a misconception that “If you don’t have any religion then you don’t believe in God”. There is a difference between “Faith” and “Religion”. Religion exists to control faith, faith exists to keep religion in check. Religion is man’s interpretation of God’s will, faith is its acceptance. So I have seen some religion/faith topics and I felt that I should describe what I believe there is schism between the two words. Faith is belief. It is personal and it is truly the strength of the person coming out to pay homage to whatever it is that they believe in. Religion is a congregated position where you and others believe in the same thing. Now I truly believe in Faith. I despise religion. Faith for me is needed by those who I guess need that extra boost in their existence to try to explain it or they just feel more comfortable believing in something. If I do something, then I believe that I should accept the consequences of that action as well. Religion for me are people coming together and expressing their similar beliefs which in the meantime might be ok, if gives them that ego boost and then the congregated religion starts acting as if their opinion means anything to anyone else. I don’t mind people going to church and expressing their faiths.. that is their business. But I despise it when they use that opinion to start doing things that others may find offensive. For example, Catholics, Prostestants, Muslims and others who try to convert. If someone wants to convert they will find you. You don’t have to advertise yourselves. I also despise those who create decisions based upon their religions rather then what would actually be good for humanity as a whole.
