The
discussion we held in class today took an unexpected twist in my opinion. Never
in a million years would I have thought of superstition as a tool widely used
for comfort. I can also understand how religion and superstition can be
compared to one another, though I disagree that they are in fact similar. Being
a religious person I do look to God in times of need when I want to be
comforted. On the other hand, religion is not merely a way to buy insurance. I
am religious because I genuinely believe that we should appreciate and love
God. Unlike what Shapiro said, for me religion is not a way of buying
insurance. Regardless of whether a person is religious or not, for whatever
reason it may be, I believe that if you are not religious you can still go to
heaven if you are a genuinely good person. That is where I see the difference
between superstition and religion.
