As many of you may have seen, this week the Christian Fellowship group is doing a project in which they are encouraging all students to share their beliefs on Christians and Christianity as a whole. I for one thought it was a very interesting project, but there was one thing I felt slightly uncomfortable with. After participating in the project, a member handed me an apology card that pardoned for the actions of Christians throughout the years. While it was very sincere, and arguably necessary, I couldn't help bu think that these people aren't the ones that need to be apologizing. They have open minds, and shouldn't have to take responsibility for the actions of those who are unwilling to see the world from different points of view.
At times I question what I truly believe in this world, but there is one thing that never changes, and that is the philosophy of acceptance. I could never imagine looking down on someone, just because their religion is something different than mine. This world is filled with people who are truly, simply bad for reasons far outside faith, and to me, it's those sorts of people who should be apologizing. Too bad they may never do so.
