Missing the big picture

I Agree with Francis,

i'm a 16 year old jesuit catholic and this is what i have to say

We should all know as mature adults that there are other religions in the world and that some people do things that doesnt make the religion look the the most peaceful. in everything, like here in the US there are immigrants comming from mexico to work but some ppl say that mexicans are just criminals, which i can say this that there is a number of latinos that are americans most wanted.while at thesame time not long ago there was an atricle were an immigrant crossing the border, saved the life of a young boy and was deported. Ingnorant people are those that just judge once and depend their opinion on that

Just because there are a group of people that are doing things against god's will it doesnt necessarily mean that everyone are killers, or criminals, omens, or tools of the devl. We have to think in general, God (im not saying which one) since he had the power of making man and everything that exists, dont you think that he or she would have the power of putting us in different planets or universes, but he or she decided to put us all in one.

So that means that somehow we all have to get along. which means that we have to accept eachother, no matter how much we dont agree with eachother. We should know that we all have to forgive, we (catholics) have learned it from god , which he forgives women for eating from the Garden of Eden. (scacrifices his son Jesus Crist). Esmerelda if you are a cristian, it was not very Cristian of you to talk to Fatima like that .

I have read most of your responses to eachother and all you did was argue. Untill Francis submitted her writng I read some thing that brought peace between you two. It's funny because, an atheist who doesnt even have a god, settled you two down about your gods.We humans should respect and take care of eachother, because if we just dedicate our time in killing eachother, and distroying one another we dont see the big picture that we were put on this world to live life to the fullest and enjoy life, even though there are things that we all dont agree on.

Peace

lilly
