A Criticism of Christianity
My relationship with religion could be described as both bittersweet and confusing. Christianity is considered the world’s largest religion, and it is what I grew up practicing. Spending time within the church caused me to develop an appreciation for its aesthetics, rituals, preachings of positivity, love, hope — as well as its imagination for creating such improbable biblical stories. However, maturing and understanding my religion’s contradictory nature, as well as the corruption and violence it has engendered throughout history, has caused me to become skeptical of the beliefs that had been impressed upon me. Through my senior project, I strive to not only criticize the attributes of Christianity that I find outdated or unhelpful, but also emphasize those that I find beneficial, and hear what others have to say about what they believe in.
