So, I'm kinda baity when it comes to talking religion. Partially, because I have a family member who is an antagonistic atheist. He constantly talks about how much smarter than me, he is. Because he doesn't believe in a god. I do. So, that makes me a fool, supposedly. But after almost half my life has gone by, I have found more peace, tranquility, and community than ever before. My church houses different sects, and religions to hold services. We celebrate our differences and compare our love and our holy sacraments and meld them together into something beautiful. It's incredible how similar we all are. We almost all agree that we serve the same entity. And that service is to provide love, care, needs, and anything else someone in our local community needs. These are the kind of things, that I think are beautiful.

With all that said, I know I'm somewhat biased by my own upbringing. I had a very pentecostal family and it was very much fire and brimstone. So much so, that I developed severe depression disorder since 8 and I've had it since. Can't seem to shake it lol. But there's so much beauty in all the hate and evil that has entered my life. They made me, me. And so, I thank G-d for that.

I just want all of us to get along, have peaceful disagreements and show that the world is a beautiful place. (and I am no longer afraid to die tee hee). I know, I am not a paragon of this, you can look into my comment history and see. It's most commonly about religion that I get heated, but failure is only the price of progress.
