Blog 3 - Religión
Hello dear readers, nice to meet you again. The topic I want to focus on in this post is religion.
Religion has never been something too important to me, for my family it is not a topic of conversation. Although from what I've noticed my father is Catholic, but he keeps this to himself, it's not something he expresses. My mother much less so. We rarely went to church, only in specific cases, like the death of a close person.
Continuing with me, I made my first communion and later my confirmation. I really did it because of the celebrations that these traditions entail.
When I was a child, if I believed in God the truth, it could be because of the society (mainly Catholics), which is in charge of inculcating their religion through movies, stories and even in a subject that they pass during the whole basic and middle school: the idea of a glorious being who created everything we know as planet and who judges from heaven to all human beings.
Now that I am grown up and with a critical thinking, I can say that the idea of a god is quite difficult for me to believe. I do not believe in priests, I think they are people just like me, with virtues and defects, they are not people who can claim something or tell me what to do, I do not believe in the bible, it is a book that has been manipulated over the years for the benefit of men, with quite questionable ideals.
I hope you like the post, don't forget to comment to know your opinion. Goodbye

Hello, Juan!
ResponderEliminarI think that critical thinking changes a lot the way of analyzing the church. Especially after the allegations of sexual abuse. It is interesting to know your thoughts on this subject.

ResponderEliminarHello Juan, I have an opinion very similar to yours regarding the Bible. Like you, I believe that it is a tremendously manipulated text and above all misinterpreted in it is original idea, I think that many people believe that the Bible is a book that tells the creation of the world and it is end, the life of Jesus and his miracles, among others, in a concrete and direct way. However, from my point of view it is a book that compiles in a poetic and fantastic ways of seeing the world, it is a book of ancient myths and metaphors. In short, it is an interesting topic that one day we could talk about.
ResponderEliminarHello, I totally understand what you wanna say. Now I can see in a more critical way the priests' acts.
ResponderEliminarWhen I was a child I used to believe that church people were role models and really special or something like that, but now I know that they're just like us.
hello juan, I find interesting what you say about the bible and the priests, the truth is that I also believe that the catholic religion is focused on exercising control over the actions of people through morality.
ResponderEliminarHello, it's true what you say, I can't believe that people like me can have some kind of blessing or have some kind of "power", I find it hard to believe, the truth is that I am quite skeptical. He may be too attached to science.
ResponderEliminarHello Juan! your blog made me remember something I had completely forgotten. It is ridiculous to think that a being is in a higher dimension judging everything I do. The idea of God that the school instilled in me was quite scary, I even think it left me some kind of trauma and that’s why my brain blocked the memory.
ResponderEliminarHello, is true that when grow up we start to question all the beliefs that were imposed on us since we were children.
