Religion

This past week, I have been working in a project for my school about my roots (ancestors). It is so interesting learn so many new things from my culture, and is so amazing realize why I behave the way I do because of my “roots.” I went back in time when in my country Puerto Rico were only Indians (Tainos). I learn about their religion and they beliefs. Also, I learn about my half part of my roots from Dominican Republic, how many people back in time believe in “curanderas” healers to relief’s pains. They visit them often to find cure.

I start thinking about how religion has evolution with time. How the beliefs change according the era were people live. More than 500 years ago Indians used to belief that the sun, moon, the rain, and other nature things were gods. More than 100 years ago people beliefs in witch or healers to relief their pain or to find themselves.  What we belief today? Most of the people beliefs in God, Jesus Christ, but with continue human evolution some people belief have been changing like the scientology the new religion of the millennium.

What I am 100% sure is that I do not know anything about true religion, and that I belief in Jesus Christ as my savior, as other people belief in other saviors. No one has the absolute truth and everybody those. Yesterday at mass when the father were consecrating the body and blood of Christ he said something that every priest have been saying every time they consecrate the body and blood of Christ; “This is the mystery of faith” and yes that is a mystery. I think that every religion, faith or beliefs should have the same law or rule; lover each other and do not harm you neighbor. I believe that if everybody follows that rule the world will be a better place.

 Zechariah 7:9-10

"Thus speak the Lord of hosts, saying, ‘Execute true judgment, and show mercy and compassions every man to his brother. And oppress not the widow nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart."
