You don’t have to visit Church just for religious reasons but some people would go just have talks with people from a similar community and, just to be friendly towards other people.
The Ten Commandments narrow down how to properly worship God. If they ignore these instructions this would be classed as sinning! It would also mention that if anyone was to worship an idol that would be just as bad. It would make sure that everyone knew worship is important and that if they followed this way of worshiping, this would ensure they would go to heaven and not hell.
Christianity is very different to any other form of worshiping but is also one of the simplest forms of worship because it is just simple praying, singing and reading from the Bible. However the ‘Holy communion’ is like most other religions main worship.
Being brought up in a very religious family may be the cause of making certain people believe that God does exist and that he is watching everybody’s good and bad movements. There is always one argument over one aspect of religion, but it’s not for certain whether there is a true answer or whether it’s just matter of opinion! They will also look to him for guidance in there everyday lives. People have their own minds and they will…’ Believe what they want to believe!!!’
‘People can never be sure that anything really exists and that’s including us!!! Are we really alive???’
A man called Thomas Aquinas has tried to prove that there is a God and that everything has a 1st cause. His theory is that the first cause always comes back to God in one way or another. His theory is known throughout the world but as I mentioned above, everybody has their own view on life and there own view on the way they would like to go about it; People believe that in some cases God can help them lead a better life and that if they do well, they will be able to go to heaven in peace for the rest of their after life. However if they proceed to make mistakes on purpose throughout their life they will be punished. The people who don’t believe this are called Atheists!
In my opinion, it doesn’t matter what religion you belong to or whether it’s none at all, what matters is if you lead and enjoy a healthy life.
