It is SO easy to get caught up into religious bubbles of your certain beliefs, for me at least, with Christianity. Lately I have realized that I know very little about other beliefs and other religions and it almost frightens me how little I know. On top of that, is how little most people know about anything that doesn't pertain to them directly. Well, guess what people... if you think it doesn't have anything to do with you, chances are, you are wrong. How many people know anything about Islam? Buddhism? Hinduism? Catholicism? Christianity? (These are just a few of the MANY out there).
For me, how am I able to communicate with a person if I know nothing of what they believe? How can I relate something I believe with someone who knows nothing about it if I know nothing about what they believe? How ignorant have we become in this society to the people around us and their religions? I feel terrified to think of all I don't know.
I ask you this then... Is it ok, has it become acceptable to be ignorant to religion? I am not just talking about Christians or whatever, but everyone and every thing. How do you know what you believe if you know nothing else? What is faith and how do you know that you have it?
