| 78. Each person has a set of beliefs |
|
and they are unique to them because no two people are alike. A person's beliefs include religion(not just in the realm of god) and beliefs of how that fits within society. Churches have set rules on what can and can not believed. Very rigid usually as in the fundamentalists, catholic and others. A personal religion can not be forced on another for the very reason it is personal. Churches try to force because they are an organization and not personal.
The words may not convey what I think and feel. Religion to me is a very personal experience and unique to each person.
