Assignment 4- Kayla Conrad

Christianity has always been a big part of my life. I was baptized as an infant in the Lutheran church by my own grandfather and even after my parents' divorce, Christianity continued in my mother's life while not so much with my dad. It is a topic I still struggle with today because I am a firm believer that there is a God above but I have never been someone to push religion upon someone else, I do not believe it is right. I attend church every Sunday with my mother, even spending six hours there but my beliefs and ideals have been very much fought against at my father's house.
My biological grandmother always believed my father would grow up to become a Pastor but after she passed away, my father stopped believing and having faith. On a typically week with my father I am constantly told "you spend too much time at church" or that "you can't seriously believe all of this." And so obviously, it caused me to question my ideals, wondering if my God is actually real or if this is all just fake but in the end I always come back to standing strong in my ideas and understanding that everyone has different viewpoints and we have no way of knowing who in this world it right and who is wrong so why do we fight over what we think. If someone's beliefs aren't causing harm to someone else, why do so many people care about being "right" over something nobody can prove?
