The topic id like to express my feelings on is the topic of religion. Mr. Matthews makes it quite clear that he has never been taught about religion and that would make sense because religion is all about learning who created you and you learn all the who’s, what’s, where’s,  and when’s. 

It is also very clear from reading Mr. Matthews essay that he doesn’t care about religion and hates being approached about it.  To me freedom of religion entitles them to believe whatever they want to and entitles you to attempt to spread the word of your newly found savior. 

Mr. Matthews says in this paragraph,” I don’t understand how so many people can make references to a book and they don’t know who wrote it.” To reply to that comment, if Mr. Matthews had in fact done any reading into religion the bible is recognized as a historical document that outlines history and most authors of each chapter have been identified others are still unknown but for the most part it was written by Jesus Christ’s disciples. 

To be honest I’ve seen a lot of the prophecy the bible speaks of come true already at an alarming rate. Religion is all about a blind leap of faith believing knowing you can’t see. 

Mr. Matthews states that religious people think they are better than him and I don’t believe that is the case. As a religious person when I see someone one the streets who is totally unreligious I don’t even try to approach them I wait for them to see that I have something more and they eventually question me. 

Mr. Matthews also seems to dislike the idea of preachers making a living spreading the word of god. For this matter I have one question for Mr. Matthews.  How was it not only ok but considered bad morals to not donate to the church in the older days? It is because back then they had better morals and did not mind supporting something like church. 

Sure I can see the argument that you cant see god so how can he be real or church is just a money making scheme, but even if church were a total load of crap it still teaches its members how to be a good moral person. The church is a non profit agency making only enough to support itself, which clearly nullifies Mr. Matthew’s comments about religious people making money off the public.
