This post is going to get quite sensitive to religion so you don't have to read it if you don't want to. No offence to any religion, but I really have to get it off.
Grandma's going to get baptised this coming saturday.
And the question is: whether I should go?
She and my aunt have been asking me to go.
My sis is going, daddy refused to go, and mommy has something on.
So that leaves me.
On one side, I should go because I should give her support, after all she's my grandma.
But, I have my own principles.
I'm not against Christianity or against her being baptised, its just that I feel that she's not becoming one because she really believes in it or has faith in God.
She's a buddhist for her entire life and have been quite against it all the while. Maybe her illnesses really got better after she went to church, I'm not sure.
I just feel that she just keeps going because she has companions there, which should not be the real reason why she chooses to become a christian.
Maybe she feels better there.
Or that it might be she is just there because it heals her.
This is not what religion should be about. Adopting this religion should not be because of the benefits it gives you. Anyone can choose what religion you want to be, but you have to really have faith in it before you commit yourself to it.
I guess that's why I choose not to be such a religious person. I'm not against religion, its just that I don't follow too closely to it. It may or may not be a good thing. But I just do not want to commit to something blindly.
