God

God is a really touchy subject to many people. There are so many conflicts and wars all started by religion. One terrible tragedy was the Holocaust. Those innocent people all killed and sent to concentration camp because of their religion. People have such different perceptions of God. During the Colonial Synthesis Reading assignment, I noticed how differently people viewed the God.  Jonathon Edwards thought of him as angry and enraged by sinners and unconverted men. Anne Bradstreet thought of a god who was almighty, powerful and wise. There are so many different opinions as to how many gods are there and what happened in the past with Jesus and stuff. Many people are too stubborn to accept other peoples thoughts and perceptions. People are too inflexible to see other people's viewpoints and people soon begin to fight. In the Middle East, Islamic and Jews are fighting over something that goes all the way back to 3000 years ago. Get over it! Stuff happens. Stop living in the past and fighting over some crap that happened so long ago. I am atheist, and I find it really funny how when I tell people that I don't believe in a god, they try to explain of how great God is and how it's so good and all. They seem to always forget to tell me all the bad things about religion, like the wars and persecution of people that it has caused. Have you ever heard of a war between atheist? Probably not. But how about some wars between religions? Almost a kajillion (which is a really big number).
