Does one’s religion really matter? I just heard (catching up on previous shows) the podcast of Father Roderick covering the faith of Batman because the question on what was Batman’s religion – whether a Catholic or Buddist or Episcopalian – was raised in the forums of his site.
Sometimes – most actually – religion is the root of fighting between tribes, between factions, between countries; it was shoving each other’s beliefs down each other’s throat. Maybe it doesn’t really matter which religion you adhere to but what matters is that you have a belief in something – that there is an omnipotent, omniscient being that one has to answer to at the end of all things. People might call that being in different names: Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Yahweh or Jehovah; that being still is a God. We all die anyway, and there’s a fifty percent chance that we are either right or wrong.
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is. – Albert Camus
