From time to time, I find myself wondering to myself, “What is truly the best religion to follow?” I mean, there are so many different variations of religion in this world that people follow on a daily basis. Then, there are those like me who haven’t a clue which way to go. I mean, I definitely believe in God. God knows my heart! No doubt about that. However, who’s to say which religion is true religion? Nobody really knows.
I grew up Catholic. I went to church almost every Sunday with my parents. I wasn’t a die hard religious fanatic or anything like that. Most of the time, I’d just sit up in Mass, stand up and then sit back down. *smile* You know how Catholics do it. LOL All while drifting off, thinking about who knows what. Every once in a while, I’d get something out of the homily prepared by the priest. But…most times, I really didn’t. Was it just me or the person delivering the message? *shrugs*
I have to be honest though. I’ve attended many of Baptist churches. Most, if not all of the time, I get something out of the message. It might be because the preacher is a little more animated and active than the priest at the church where I grew up. I don’t know. You know how you go to church service and you feel like the preacher is surely talking about or to you or a situation that you’re involved in or dealing with?
Well, I most often experience that when I attend Baptist churches. Not to mention that the songs they sing tend to move me a bit more. But…don’t get it twisted. The Catholic church I grew up in wasn’t your average Catholic church. Well….the choir wasn’t. Our choir used to get down and jam. They had (still do) a choir director/pianist who also played at a Baptist church. So the music selections usually had folks tapping their feet and clapping their hands.
Anyway, I put my son in new school this week. The school is actually a Seventh Day Adventist school. Now, you don’t have to be a Seventh Day Adventist to attend this school. (Obviously) I wasn’t and still am not really familiar with what Seventh Day Adventist believe in. I only enrolled my son in the school because one of my girlfriend’s son goes there as well and she loves it. Plus, the price is right. Which is always a plus. Wouldn’t you say? At any rate, prior to enrolling him, I sat and spoke with the school director. She asked me if I’d have a problem with my son not eatting meat because they don’t believe in eatting ANY meat whatsoever. Instead of HAM, they eat MAM. LOL Or something like that. I really can’t remember exactly what it’s called but dammit it rhymed with ham. LOL No meat. No dairy. All soy. Which is fine with me because I give him soy milk from time to time anyway. We’ll see how it works out….
I got off subject a tad bit. I guess I said all of the above to say that I don’t know much about Seventh Day Adventist. I plan on doing some more research on the religion this week.
Well, I think I’ve rambled enough. I’m about to put my son to bed.
Am I the only one that thinks about this? Just wondering.
Nite!
