I am going to discuss why the eastern religions are so different and why they are so similar, to the western religions, and why all over the world there are gods that are worshiped by people even though they have little else in common. I'm also going to ask how religion unifies and divides people through all of history. I intend to show that although many religions from around that time have many differences, that it is amazing how similar they are even though they were developed by completely different people and different civilizations.
I should also add that my views may be a little biased toward Christianity as I was raised as a Christian in a strict Christian area but I try not only in this essay but in life to be as an objective view as possible.
I'll start off by going over the fundamentals of Christianity. One weird thing about Christianity though is that there are many different divisions within Christianity and one group of Christians could believe something almost completely different from another group of Christians, but as we go on we will find if that is true for all religions, so I'm just going to cover some basics for all the different types of them. Ok so the main thing I think that is true for all Christians is that they believe in one god and that he created the earth and he is the ruler of all. Christians also believe in heaven and hell which is a place they believe your soul or spirit goes after you die. Heaven is a place were they believe your soul or spirit goes when you have been good in life, in heaven they believe you get to do what you like to do best as long as you want, well that is some beliefs but the truth is that there are many different beliefs on what heaven is like and well ...
