How To Reject The Christian Worldview

There are a multitude of values that I hold. Those values are reminders that I want to be a better person everyday. This is what many religions strive to do. They are tools to guide people into shaping their values and morals so as to create a world of better people. As John Hicks explained, all religions have the same end goal in mind, they just different ways of achieving that goal. (Nichols) My world view is agnostic who leans more towards the Christian end of religion. I neither accept nor reject the Christian worldview because I have not seen evidence for it. Yet, there still a part of me that likes to hold on to this religion. I am drawn to it. I do acknowledge the values and beliefs held in that the religion more so than any other

People can push those that love them far away and although there may be forgiveness that stems from it, the love can not be reestablished like it was before. It has been said that the love between a mother and child is a bond that can never be broken but I believe that it can be. A child can cause a mother so much pain that she eventually become nonchalant about the relationship that exists between herself and her child. The idea of love being infinite is a strong message to send out to people and drawn them into religion but it is not realistic in my eyes. I believe that love can be fleeting. This is something that happens with relationships often. People love each other for just a certain amount of time, and then they don’t. I do not believe that people should love everyone but I do believe that they should treat everyone with
