Martin Luther

I know some people will probably disagree but I believe that multiple forms of Christianity and differing ways of worship is a good thing . Luther during his time noticed that many people were being neglected by the Church, and he did something about that and I think it's a good thing. Even today, some people choose to attend Catholic Mass in Latin as opposed to attending a Baptist Church. My point is that people are diverse and because of that Christianity should be diverse as well, and I don't believe one way is the absolute right way but I think its intended by God. Again, we would all walk, talk, and look the same if that's the way it was intended. I certainly think Luther played an integral role to revitalize the Christian faith during his time.

I agree with your blief of multiple forms being a good idea. In fact, I think a lot of the various religions out there are similar in the respect of worshipping the same thing, but in a different way. I think you're exactly right in that people should be able to have their own varying beliefs, as in the end it's all just a slightly different route to the same belief. It's those differences that make people who they are.

I agree with both you, and Chris. I'm not a fan of organized religion, but i think if you need religion in your life, you should be given the option not to conform to a certain set of rules. I read somewhere that it doesn't matter so much what you believe, it's simply that you choose to believe that makes you a follower.
