I heard this question being asked to one of the miss universe finalists.I waited in awe to hear which part of it resonated with me.I then asked myself the same question and this was my thoughts on it.
I immediately would say yes.Love is found in all things even if it was disguised with religion.Sometimes I think God would want us to see that,if there was no such thing as religion would you still love me ?would you still miss me when I'm gone , no matter what my relgion were.Of course yes.If God pretended to be someone else would you love him?or would you love God only when you knew it was God.I dont even think God would want us to live loving people only after been told who or what they were.
Then I had another thought.It all depended if the religion I chose complimented me.Religion in the past had a strict protocol of how you should act and behave and everything was known to be taboo.Religion had made it difficult for people to be together because it made you choose your family over Love.Religion has evolved and has made exceptions for culture as people and lifestyles have evolved too.If it was a religion that allowed me to be my true authentic self then I would change for love.I would still be me,just following another path to God.Spirituality has had a strong presence in society too where religion overlaps and allows all people to come on to the same path.Its very much like different roads leading to one highway.I really enjoy spirituality because it allows me to share my views and understand other religions too which forms a common ground and helps one to being more open to Love than just labeling people as Religion.
But why does it matter?Why should religion stop two people that love each other from not been together.Our hearts are big enough to love two at the same time that is one GOD and the partner that we are blessed with.Its like asking which child do you love the most?Would you choose between your children?God doesn't say that you have to choose.I think he says Love me and whoever you want to love that makes you happy too.As much as religion plays an important role in shaping society,I think many times we detour from OUR own truths in our hearts.God makes it very clear and puts these obstacles in our way so that we stare at our own truth in its face and deal with feelings that block our own happiness.We all create excuses in our lives and live a life half lived,when we had the chance to feel and experience the real deal.
The most important thing when choosing LOVE is not really religion but how happy you are when you are with this person.Are you your true self?Are you living your life the way you were meant to live with this person.We are all meant to be the better versions of ourselves.If anyone can bring out the best you,then no matter what their religion,they were meant to go on this journey with you.
