“Your Beliefs Are Yours”


Faith~ conviction~ principle~ idea~ confidence~ trust~ certainty~ credence~ is yours and I have no qualms with that. I have a problem when you try to demand that I make it my own. People who know me well know that I was Christened in the Roman Catholic Church, Point Fortin, Trinidad and Tobago~ I attended church every Sunday morning~ Sunday school at 2 O'clock every Sunday evening. I made First Communion then Confirmation so I am a staunch Catholic. Do not think because I am a Catholic, I do not read the bible. The first time I read it, it took me one year and six months~ I started from Genesis and I ended with Revelation. I could tell you how much of our daily life style is in that book, but my discussion about the bible is with me and my family~ We need to edify each other about our beliefs in God —AND THAT IS THAT.
At times when people start to talk to me about religious beliefs, I listen attentively and then I say, “Thank you for sharing your views. I will think about it." When they walk away, I always say, “I really would like to see how holy and worthy you are to God, when no one is looking.” I wish I was a fly on the wall in your home to see your actions…
