My big question is why does Religion divide us when it's supposed to unite us? Religion is a touchy subject in a social environment obviously because everyone has their beliefs and arguments get started over religion even wars. One of the things I did over break was research a few different religions and since their so different I categorized them. What I learned was that mainly religions are made for peace but in some religions we would be killed for believing in what we believe. For example The Quaran has over 109 verses about going to war with non believers. And in the Bible it states that if you come across a non believer then you shouldn't greet them look at them pretty much pretend their not there. A connection I see is that Emerson himself talked about God. He says that we were individually and distinctly made with the hand of God. What I'm going to do next is not categorize myself into one religion but be open minded to others and have a fellowship with Jesus.
