by Olivia Carpenter Don’t There are a lot of things I can say about religion. Some of it's good, some of it's bad. You see, religion isn't perfect, just like we aren't perfect. Religion was made by man for God, not by God for man. So how can something we made be perfect, if we aren't perfect ourselves? It can't. We are flawed; so, we can't make something without flaw. This is why we have so many religions. Humans have found flaw in these religions and have branched out from them, and often create a new religion entirely. People often get into the mindset that their new religion is perfect, that it's the only religion. They become judgmental of all other religions that aren't theirs. When I was in elementary school, everyone hung out with just about everyone. But, when I hit high school, everyone hung out with people in their sports, or in their academic group. Basketball players hung out with basketball players. Volleyball players hung out with volleyball players. Artists hung out with artists. They didn't think it was acceptable to hang out with anyone else. 6
