persuasive essay

This wasn't too much of a challenge for me, because I felt like this was a hot topic issue that I enjoyed talking about. I love the concept of writing something that I get to try to prove, and get people to believe my point of view. I don't regret writing this at all, and I plan on writing more in the near future.

There are many decisions when it comes to what people believe religiously, whether it be Allah, god, Zeus, and even people that believe in no god. Yes there are so many different beliefs, but there are also many pointless arguments over those beliefs. Does the world spontaneously combust when someone believes in something different than you? Does there have to be a farce of a debate that leads to no winners, just only more fuel for the hateful fire that burns in the human soul? No this isn’t just a difference in opinion it is a crusade against the blasphemous heathens, or a battle against those religious dogs that rule the world. Mostly everyone of these faiths and belief systems believe they have some type of evidence that is more credible than the other guys evidence. I personally believe who gives a crap about what Jimmy believes, and think people should just start to focus on themselves.

Religious wars have been going on for as long as man started to think, but for some reason even in our “modern” day society we cannot even get over the petty disagreements that kills people each and everyday. Staying true to your beliefs is hard especially when you try to have a pissing match in the wind with the guy next to you. No one usually ever shakes on principles that relate to religion, and they just get downright aggressive, when confronted with a challenge to those beliefs. Is it wrong that Jimmy believes in god, and that Timmy is an atheist? No as long as they stay intellectual and respect each others beliefs there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, but if they start to argue over those beliefs, the fire of hate only grows and grows until it has consumed the entire human existence. I say to extinguish that fire we use our minds, and as a people together we can snuff out the hate.

Now here comes the criticism, “ what about terrorists I am supposed to tolerate them?” and “what about cults am I supposed to tolerate them too?”, these only grow in the ash that has been left over from the hate that the disagreements that man has faced. If we look towards reason and tolerate each other; does a man need to kill himself to make a point? Does a man need to make himself a god in order to feed his carnal pleasures and sick twisted behaviours? Over time every one falls to the power of intellect and reason. Every one has to change what they believe in order to work in the modern world.

Sure this is a almost impossible task when considering the amount of people there are in the world, and the amount of blood that has been shed over certain beliefs, but I am not asking for an over night change. I am only proposing that we use intellect and reason, instead of hate, and blind aggression towards each other. It will be a hard hill to climb, riddled with many dangers, but it is a hill I am willing to climb with any person that is willing to walk with me. So is it wrong to want to have this future where everyone can believe what they want, without the fear of hate, without the fear of suffering, and without the fear of death? Is it wrong to want to dream of a better future for all of mankind? Lets end all of the hateful arguments over what people believe, and just start to care about human life.
