My Hatred For Religion My Love For God

The latest victim is a french priest, murdered in his church by killers shouting “Allahu akbar!” Following such attacks, Muslim leaders assure us that, as Tariq Ramadan said after the Paris massacre, the murders are “a pure betrayal of our religion". After the shootings in Brussels, the leading Sunni university, AL-Azhar issued a statement saying, “These heinous crimes violate the tolerant teachings of Islam”. The Church started killing unbelievers as early as the 4th century. The killing (often with torture) of heretics, church splinter groups, dissenters, atheists, agnostics, deists, pagans, infidels, and unbelievers was supported by almost all mainstream Christian theology for over a thousand years, starting with the intolerant St Augustine (died 430 AD).

For as long has history itself could remember Religion as always been associated with violence I knew hatred might seem like such a strong word to use seeing that most people can't tell the difference between having blind devotion towards a sect (religion) and having a personal and intimate relationship with God. Most people say religion is as old as God to those who believe that you are entitled to your own opinion. We live in a world filled with so many limitations opposing us, that not enough the so called religions who are supposedly the bearer of good news or carrier of peace are most times the backbone of most violence. Spiritual emptiness is a universal disease that everyone suffers from. While the cure for it does not lie within a particular religious sect, there could be an argument that religion is important, and that without it there will be no way to God. To me, this is just empty excuses we make as humans to feel alright with the decision that we make when we know within us it's wrong.

Religion is all about getting and never giving back if they do it mostly for a reason. If they are mostly focused on the number of people they have in their sect, it's also one of the most prosperous business organization here on earth if I can say so, I guess I can since I just wrote it down. When I speak of religion I mean the whole lot from Christianity to Islam to the least popular. The funniest part is within some religious sect there is much disunity, for example, the religious sect Christianity have so many denominations its hard to keep track of them and they all have a different belief. They all use one book the Bible but all have a different way of interpreting it to suit themselves, so many Fanatics are religious people.

Religion should stop being materialistic and focus on the most important issue which is unifying people from different background together. No matter what we all call God in our different religious sect we all refer to one supreme being which we all claim to love, so why can't they be unity. Most people are more catholic, baptist, Anglican, protestant or Islamist than they have more personal relationship with God.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
