REM – Losing My Religion

Classic. Who has not heard of this song? If you have not heard of this song yet, go and watch the video clipped with this blog. Now why am I posting this song? I am not making a review or anything, it just so happen that it is one of the songs that is making me rape the replay button on my player.

I am not a religious person or anything. I am not a devotee of any curved sculpture, I do not kneel before any man, and I do not pray over some pictures of any holy man from an unknown source. I pray. I do, I read the bible but that does not make me religious, or anywhere near holiness. To be honest, I never thought that religion would play a big role in my life. I am a freelancer for the longest time. Freelancer? What in the world does that mean? I do not know how to call myself so I just use the term freelancer. Just like how a writer is when he works for multiple clients. I am a freelancer: I am baptized in one religion, I attended another, attended bible study, attempted to convert to another religion, stopped, and is now attending celebration of another known religion. Now what in the world are you doing? Are you trying to study all religions known to man? Hell no! I am just trying to find my place. We all worship the same LORD, the same GOD (No offense ALLAH) the only differences I see are: the way we pray, worship, celebrate and some beliefs. Some believe that they have the blessed “flying house” that would surely save the souls of all who belong to thine church, some believe that ones you find in yourself to finally accept the there is one ultimate super hero, I mean savior, then you will be saved. Saved from eternal repose and burning hell. On the other hand, there are some who believe that if you are so lucky to understand the teachings of the bible and be able to apply it, somehow, in your life, then you have a chance to win a ticket to heaven.

Now, what do I say about all these beliefs? I respect all religions, please don not get me wrong. Our beliefs is dictated by our religion; well majority of it I guess. How about you Devs, you left your birth-religion and until now, you are still searching for what you think is “right”. No, I am not searching for the “true” religion. I do not think there is even such religion. Just kidding, I just do not want to be bias here. Kidding aside. I have no idea about religion’s righteousness. I just want to pray and praise my maker. I do not need to be obliged for I know my obligation to HIM…and that is what i am searching for. Confusing. Blurry. I know no one will understand, so just let me be.

Maybe all I am saying is let us all learn to respect other’s beliefs, respect other religions and respect ones choice where he wants to belong. Respect, it is not so hard.
