i had a thought the other day when having another profound conversation with my mother. :)

why are there different religions? why are there different denominations? why are we, as a human race, separated into these sects of faith?

the way i see it, everyone is different. now, don't get me wrong here. i'm not talking about when we were all in kindergarden, sitting in a circle and the teacher went on and on about how everyone is "special." i'm talking about how we were created. we all see things differently based on our own experiences, beliefs, morals..etc.

now we, as religious peoples, are separated. muslim, jewish, christian, catholic, buddist...all that stuff. what i don't understand is how we can be placed under these labels. just because i'm christian does not, by any means, suggest that i think the same as the guy sitting in the pew behind me on sunday morning. being put into a group suggests that everyone in that group is the same...and the truth is we're not.

my mum and i determined that we are not christian, nor catholic, nor muslim, nor jewish....i am a "dear.prudenceist." i believe what i do, because i do. noone thinks the same as i do, and there is nothing that i can do about it.

i may be ranting on and on about nothing...but i felt i had to blog about this stuff. thoughts?
