Brock Hughes. Reading of Sex God

I am reading the book Sex God and if only it was about what it sounds like it is about. This book in one of the chapters is about connection. It is about connections to each other that makes our lives importance and gives meaning. It talks about the idea that people do not feel complete by just going out and having countless numbers of physical relationships. One needs a connection with someone else in order to feel fulfilled. The connection I think is found in God. There is a verse in the Bible that talks about a rope of three chords are stronger than a rope with only two chords. This middle chord is God and if the two outside chords, the people, both believe in God and center their relationship around Him; then their relationship will be stronger and they will feel more connected because they are not so concerned with themselves.

These connections that are felt can also work in very negative ways. For instance, many people who do not believe in God and more specifically hold a grudge against the Church, do so not because the Church did something wrong to them but because a specific member of the Church has done a wrong against them. This feeling of being wronged by someone who believes in asking for forgiveness drives them away from that person’s religion because they do not feel that they have been treated fairly or apologized to. I think this is really important because with all religious disputes, there is normally at the heart of it, a dispute based on the treatment of one religion by another religion. Based on the broad generalization of these people being tied to separate religions, breeds fury against that person’s religion and then action against that person and their religion is taken out against the person.
