Religion


Religion, a term that is very known by society. The question that most people ask is "should I trust religion". History have teach only not to. Through the pass of time, people have used religion just to gain power. Take for instance the Inquisition. This period of time, church killed people if they did not agreed or did what the bible said, this way people would be afraid and do everything that the church wanted.

I have learned series of stories like this, through my different classes. Sometimes I wonder if our religion might past away and be consider something mythological; the same happened to the greeks and we see their religion as something completely impossible. A couple a months ago I watch a movie that talked about religion between other things. The movie was called "Zeitgeist". This movie said something very true. Religion, or actually the bible is the repetion of the same story through time and Jesus Christ and his story was based, as many other, on the sun and the constellations. Here's the explanation:

So all this made me realize and come to the conclusion that maybe church is wrong or have made many mistakes, but at the end of all religion has a good intention, to make society behave better.
So the moral lesson of all these is: Make your own JUDGEMENTS, don't believe what someone tells you, belive what you want to believe and stick to it.
