Religions*
Introduction
(Religion is a human practice of existential beliefs, moral and supernatural. When speaking of religion refers to the social bodies concerned with the systematization of this practice, now known as Catholicism, Christianity, Islam and many others.)
Religion is a practice where they teach you things of God and everything isdone through rites, each one has its own customs and traditions, it all depends on the countries and cities.
Others define religion as a belief system or a synonym of "FAITH". To be a bit clearer we define belief as the supernatural, sacred or divine. To say it is a religion, we must continue with the practices, rituals and everything related to faith and hope.
It is also defined as a feeling of aperson into something you can not see but you know it existed and did something for all human and is powerful. This means you practice rites or ceremonies, on the name of that person and through powerful acts you do in your everyday life.
There are many types of religions but I want to focus on three, these are Christianity and Catholicism because they are the more knows.
First of all, I want totalk about Catholicism, Catholicism is religion professed Christians who recognize the PAPA as God's representative on earth. Catholicism is a religion that I like because we have a representative of God, we have some commands that are stronger and that people should follow if you are involved in this. The commandments are ten and I will name below:
1) You loved God above all things. Withthis command you realize that everything you have accomplished and what you are is thanks to your God and that without him, serious not the person you are.
2) Do not take the name of God in vain. With this command you realize that when you are in any trouble, not out of the can easy to blame.
3) Sanctify the Lord's Day. With this command, you know that at least you have to go one day a weekto see God in his house, which for us is the Church.
4) Honor your Father and your Mother. This commandment means that after God the most important thing in your life is your dad and your mom.
5) You shall not murder. This commandment means to be a good Catholic you have to kill no matter how difficult that is the problem.
6) You shall not commit adultery. This command means that whenyou marry your partner will not fool with anything or anyone.
7) You shall not steal. This command means that even if you have money, when you have a need do not put away the property to someone else.
8) You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. This command means if you are in a problem, you will not tell lies or shall bring innocent people.
9) You shall not covet yourneighbor's wife. This command means that you will not have problems with people for your thoughts of lust and desire for other people.
10) You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor. This command means that you will work to get what you want and you will not have to envy others.
To be a good Catholic, you must follow these commandments to the Catholic Church because it is veryimportant.
I go to Catholic Church every Sunday because for me it is a tradition that my parents instilled in me. What we do in the Catholic Church is a ceremony that lasts an hour, in the process the FATHER we read two readings before going to the gospel that is a reading of the Bible. After us better understand the reading with his words, and do more prayers, give alms (money for our God) peacewe finally make a line down the aisle to take communion in God's name, and make a small prayer to God in which we appreciate and make requests.
All Catholics, we have a person whom we call Father, who is in charge of carrying the message of God, that person also hears our sins and gives us absolution. You can say it's like a representative of God, flesh and bone. That person also takes care...
