Oh That Final

The personal journey to find faith is personal. So, I shall blog about something else. As we are suppose to know, the movie Dogma touches on almost every touchy subject that is related to beliefs within all religions. Within in each subject I predict that almost everybody has something to say about them – some people have too much to say, though. It can get annoying. Anyways, I will do my best to give my insight on the subjects listed within the assignment instructions; however, I do not know much about the listed subjects – what’s new.
To start things off, I’ll chat about the existence angels and/or demons. Do angels and demons exist? Heck if I know, but why not? I have an open mind; so, anything is possible. On one hand, angels and demons are said to exist to propose sides of good and evil. On the other hand, Angels – representing good – are thought to legitimately exist, along with demons, are chosen by God to relay God’s messages to the people. These messages are interpreted as a path for people to follow to be in good relationship with God in order to make a reservation for a “golden” afterlife. Demons are from Hell and are to hinder humans from having a relationship towards God. Personally, I think angels do exist. Why? I haven’t decided why but I’ll think about it.
The next subject is about the power within the Catholic Church. I don’t know near enough to talk about Catholicism, but I don’t think the church should have more power than any other church. Religion is a free choice and shouldn’t be overrun by “one piece of the pie,” if you understand what I’m getting at.
As we all know, religion in the media is a huge controversy in today’s world with arguments both for and against keeping religion within the media. I think religion should be able to placed in media because a lot of people of religion affiliation and will make decisions based on their beliefs. I don’t think religion get’s in the way of media or important issues because almost everyone, when making a decision on something with little or no importance, will resort to their religion for guidance. Religion is still important whether or not everyone thinks so and should not be kicked out of the media regardless of any issue. There are people that propose a religion in their ads and people who don’t. The people who don’t include religion in media are not hammered on for not including it. So, why should the religious people be dealt anything less? Nonetheless, media, today, is probably the most important attribute within the United States. Media is the “way of the land” these days – the source of information to many, but religion should not be taken out of it. Religion will always be a part of this country no matter how important the media will continue to get.
Abortion – the spontaneous or induced termination of pregnancy…. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the gist of the definition of abortion from The Merriam-Webster Dictionary. On this very touchy subject to many, I am both for and against pregnancy. I am against it in the way that if young adults are having unprotected sex and baby is made then that is too damn bad and they should have thought of that as a first priority. However, I still think that abortion is a personal decision, but I think that people should be influenced, upon their bad decisions of unprotected sex, to go through with the pregnancy and put the baby up for adoption because there are plenty of people out there that wish for a baby of their own but cannot have their own. I am for abortion in the way of rape cases. If a person was raped and is then found pregnant I think that person should have the decision to keep the pregnancy or not. Although I have two sides, I think that abortion should be allowed in whatever case up to a certain amount of time. If the fetus has already grown to a certain extend then the abortion should not be allowed.
Another issue was on the true image of God. I don’t think that anyone could possibly create an accurate image of God because who in their right mind has a clue of what God, he or she, looks like? No one! Yes, people try to create an image of God but I don’t think any of them are accurate. None of us will know what God looks like until that day, if we believe, that we are considered for a heavenly afterlife with God.
One final issue was the second coming of Jesus. I need to know more about the first coming of Jesus before I put in my “two cents” about this subject.
