My thoughts on Religion

I don't know much about religion. I didn't grow up in a family where it was mandatory to go to church and I just never took the time to read about any religions. I know that a lot of people are very passionate about what they believe in so I always try my best not to offend people. I have absolutely nothing wrong with people believing in whatever they want to. Why should I? It's none of my business. If someone wants to believe in God or Buddha or even a puddle that has been dyed green by a marker (inside joke), well then let them. If believing in something makes them happy and feel safe, then why would I tell them that they are wrong? All I would be doing is making someone unhappy for no reason. That leads me to another thing, like I said before it doesn't bother me about what beliefs one might have. Except it does get on my nerves when people from a certain religion go out to try and to convert others to their beliefs. It seems like they are almost having an imaginary contest to see how many people they can convert. I personally think that people should simply care about their beliefs, not others. With the new Scientology church being built in my town, I frown upon the protesters standing outside trying to banish this religion. I have some good friends of mine who have very strong beliefs and it's fun to discuss about different topics with them. I get invited to a few Youth Groups which turn out to be a lot of fun. Everyone there is always welcoming, so I don't see why anyone would get up set.
