The Clash of Religions

It has amazed me how religions and cultures clash in today's society. People just want to believe in something that will protect us from anything and everything. With so many cultures, religions, it's no wonder alot of us get confused. We don't know what to believe in anymore.Growing up, I had my views of religions. I went to a Roman~Catholic School for years as a young child until i hit my early teens.

Unfortunately, when I reached my teen years, I rebelled during that time of to 'confess' and all that. But having extended family was great for my childhood. I got to experiment with going to a black church; with singing and laughing and praising a completely different way I was use to at Sunday school. It didn't stop me there as well growing up. Meeting new friends, as well put a new light on different cultures of peoples religions too. Part of being a teenager for me back then was to explore and learn everything I could about life itself. I took upon myself to learn about my family and friends cultures and different religions as I could. Though I did sometimes didn't understand some religions, or what they were believing in, I did have to admit it was a different experience and I did respect it too.

Most of the religions and cultures I learned over the years ranged from catholic, baptist, Russia, German, to other such as witchcraft ( which i practice and Wicca these days ), to many others. I have to say alot of religions or cultures are misrepresented these days too. They are given the wrong true facts by other cultures, which makes it much difficult for others to understand or believe. Many followers believe as true that their own religion is the best and will do what they will to keep their people under their wing. They believe their 'faith' is the best. To me, I respect that all our religions and cultures serve the purpose we want, that we pray and have some belief. To degrade another religion shouldn't be one of them, however.
