I used to be such a religious little boy, always praying, eager to praise God and speak of his words, but then I grew up, had more priorities, gotten a lot more busy, and completely erased that part of me that has always been in tact with God. I guess what I'm saying is, I wish I could go back to all those years where I used to be so close to him, because right now, I feel distant from him.
What got me into this thinking position you ask? Well, believe it or not, I was watching the all-time best comedy film "This is The End" and as the film went on, I began thinking about whether I'm prepared to join God up there if the time ever comes, and then I realized, I'm not fully prepared just yet. I do so many unforgivable things everyday, towards my peers, my parents, my friends, and all they ever did was care for me. Maybe if I would act the same way towards them, then that would give me a step closer to God.
See, I thin being religious and doing religious practices is relevant in being part of loving God, but I see that as just the 20%, the rest would probably have something to do with love itself. As I was growing up, I've been told that love will save us, it is the ultimate weapon. At first I didn't understand this, but then I realized that in order to achieve the full potential of love, we must abolish all our prejudices and egotistical ways so that we can achieve what we call "Love". But, no one in this world is perfect, not I, not you, nor anyone really. God's son died for our sins so that we could live, so I think the least we could do is return the favour, and at least love one another.
All this talk of going against those who are gay and such, I don't see people showing their love towards God there, I see them acting as if they are God, judging others by what they see. It happens to everyone, but I myself believe that everyone has the right to go to heaven, no matter what race, age, gender, sex orientation, nor beliefs are, as long as they treat others with love and respect, then that should give them a way to the path of God, which could save them someday.
I will try my best to get closer to God, praying everyday could be a start. I'm not going to take a huge step towards this, baby steps, I will start off simple, until I've reached my full potential, which could happen after a long while, it is all up to God.
