Not quite sure about this whole blog thing..

So let's talk about this religion thing.

I often hear many of the people in this program going on and on about how sad it is that London is a secular area. This offends me!!! I am all for people being religious. I LOVE all aspects of religion, and how it makes people act and feel on the inside. But what I do not love is when people go out of their way to say "It is sad that London is a secular society. These people really have no reason to do good, no real reason to live". That is ignorant, and that is crap.

I, on the other hand, am not bothered by the fact that London is a secular area. I know from prior research that even though Sunday is not considered a Holy day to most people, it IS considered a family day. People do not really go out on Sundays. Stores still close early, and hey, it is typical that families actually have a nice sit down dinner on a Sunday evening.

So what if religion does not play a huge role in a typical Londoner's life? What does this really mean for them? They are not good people? If you believe that, then you must also believe that I am not a good person either. Just because you are not religious does not mean that you are not moral or that you are not capable of doing good.

I am really annoyed with these certain people who cannot open their minds to see the beauty in a different type of society. Just because it is not the same as what you have grown up with, does not mean it is any worse, or any better. If someone is not religious, yet still a good person, then you can be sure that this person is really doing good things for their self rather than to get into heaven or what-not.
From what I've noticed, although sometimes a little rude, Londoners are very kind and helpful people for the most part.
