One more thing about that “Jesus>Religion” video…

The biggest thing I got from this whole “Jesus>Religion” video is that even if we all agree on something, we always find ways to disagree on it. Those of us who are Christians, love the same God. How we portray it, live it, preach it may vary on each person. I, for one, stand up for the Church because if it wasn’t for my religion, I wouldn’t be able to declare that Jesus is my personal Lord and Savior. I wouldn’t have this much love and belief in Him, if it wasn’t for the Church. The Catholic Church. Sure, there are many of us who may use religion as means to justify our sins. That shouldn’t be the case. My faith, my religion, has allowed me to face my faults and accept the wrongs I have done and it has allowed me to accept the consequences that should be bestowed on me. If it wasn’t for the Sacrament of Reconciliation I would have drowned in the guilt of my own sins. I see it as this. Our Lord is like a massive tree. Connected to that tree are many roots. Each root varies in size, weight, length, and distance. Some are really close to the tree, some are really far. But at the end of the day each root is connected to that same tree(our God).
