Throughout the course we have talked about existentialism. By my understanding it is the belief in some type of supreme being. But, for me that is as far as it goes. I am not saying that there isn't a god or that I don't believe in religion. I am just saying that when I was very religious (I was raised in both the Catholic and Methodist churches) I never saw any miracles. When my dad came down with cancer I prayed day and night for him to be alright. Then he died. I was heart broken. All of the things I believed in were put into question. Now I still read the bible but I don't attend church anymore. It just never did anything for me. My belief in God and jesus just isn't strong anymore. There are too many things that I would like to question. Does this make me a bad person?? Some people seem to think so, but I say no. Judging a person on what they believe in is wrong to me. Why, well I can't really explain it. It is just what I have grown up to believe. And I guess it comes from having two diffent religions when I was growing up.
