Religion to Me
The following term paper is my views on religion and how it’s different from many other individuals’ views on this subject. How I know Gods existence is a fact for me and why I don’t need proof of his existence. Looking at several religions that my family has been a part of as well as I have been to show the difference in religions. Is Religion and Science in conflict? Is there a rational argument for Atheism? You will see that I do believe in God but I also believe in other spirits and religions as well.
God’s Existence
The reason I know God exists is because in 2005 I was hooked to crack cocaine. I lost my children, and I was on the verge of losing my family. At that moment I took my crack pipe and busted it all over the street. I looked up in the sky and asked God for his forgiveness. At that very moment I felt a light at the end of a dark tunnel that I was down in that part of my life. At that moment I knew that God existed; and I no longer needed the proof I searched for all these years.
Different Religions
Here are a few types of religions that I know of that believe in the higher power of Christianity. There are many different ones. I listed the ones I knew most about. There are also religions that believe in the spiritual nature. I have also studied this religion. I do still believe in this religion to some degree. I feel that a person can share two religions as long as they can keep their facts straight about each religion, and as long as they know the difference between each religion.
Baptist
I was baptized at the tender age of 8 years old. At a church on the outskirts of Holden, Mo. My grandfather Floyd W. Smith was a pastor at a Baptist Church in Braymer, MO. When my father reached the age of 18 he also decided that he wanted to become a pastor to follow in his father’s footsteps. When he met my mother in
