Religion 1

It always puzzles me that people always like to put down other people's religions in order to make themselves fell good about their own religion. For example, today a guy at church said that one day he was on his way to church and saw that only two cars were parked outside of a protestant church while his LDS church had a full parking lot. According to his reasoning, this made him feel as though his church was truer because his church had more people attending. That is just scratching the surface in terms of what kind of stuff like this is out there. For example, my dad went to a church meeting where they were discussing the recently published memoirs of Mother Teresa. In her memoirs, Mother Teresa talked about how she had doubted the existence of God at certain times in her life...a rather common thing for MOST people. The people at the meeting used this to say that the reason Mother Teresa doubted doubted the existence of God was because she did not have a "knowledge of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ". Instead of reflecting on and learn from the trials of one of the most Christ-like people in modern history, they turned the story on its head and used it as propaganda.
