Difference of Religion

I wonder sometimes why religion differences have to make us say things that will hurt others from another religion. I am not saying that I am guilty of doing this, but if I am, I hope that those I have offended will forgive me. The reason I bring this up is this.

I have a dear friend who has been working with someone to bring out the best her she can be. She has been getting foot zoning and counseling with this person to help her with her life. She has been able to get off many of the medications she has been on by doing this. It is really changing the way her life is.

She mentioned this on facebook the other day, and I happened to ask about what it was that she was doing. She told me about it and I am so excited that she is able to do this for herself. There was a comment later from someone that I am related to who said that she was going to go to hell for letting someone who practices witchcraft into her life. I don't know about that.

I understand that each religion is different, I understand that there are many things that people disagree with, but to come straight out and tell someone you don't know, that you are going to hell for letting people in their lives, not knowing anything about them or their religion seems a bit much.

I am a Mormon. I am very proud of that. I do not think that having a foot zoning done, by anyone, even if they practice witchcraft, is going to send me to hell. I have my beliefs, I have commandments that I follow. I do not agree with every religion in the world. But I know that I can be friends with people from other religions. I can do things with them, and for heavens sake, I am not going to go to hell because my friend is a different religion.

I like having friends from other religions. It proves that no matter our religion we can still be friends. I can still go to them and talk when I have problems, I can still ask them their opinion, I can still hold on to my beliefs. I can discover other religions and what they believe in, it does not mean I will become that religion, but it is neat to learn of them.

Anyway sometimes I just don't get it. I am getting off my soapbox now. Have a good day.
