Religions Of The World
There are so many religions and denominations today, making it hard to differentiate between them all. It is hard to understand how people who are taught to be unified are still so much separated in the church and religions of American and worldwide. All the separation stems from interpretation of the Bible. My hope is that through all the differentiation among the denominations there is still a respect and love for each. I belong to the Southern Baptist Church. I grew up Southern Baptist and that is now where I choose to keep my membership for worship. Since I go to a school that is proclaimed Church of Christ it has been interesting and educational to learn of the differences while still respecting my own.

When the differences in religions and denominations are focused on it brings division between them. It is important to focus on the one thing that brings all together and that is Jesus Christ. There are many religions worldwide that do not believe in Jesus, but they still teach respect and love for their neighbors. Without respect and honor for the people around us our society will not last. The societies that no longer survive were full of division and anger, in order for us to be successful there has to be respect and love for our neighbors, not just locally but nationally, as well as worldwide.
