Mission travel
Okay, so I am really trying my best to find a decent rate on airfares, which honestly is not easy in this day, with the economy being in such bad shape. I don't want to just be another one of those people blaming things and problems on the economy, but the cost of flights have really gone through the roof. What really frustrates me is that the airlines offer some type of discounts for death in the family, for students, and now recently I have found out that they offer Church Airfares. Now don't get me wrong, I am a strong believer in God and the church. I go to church every week. I just know for a fact that there are many people taking advantage of this discount and saying they are doing mission travel just to get the discounted rates.
I do realize that all religions need to be recognized and that everyone has a right to their beliefs, however, I do feel that many people pretend that their beliefs are religious when in fact, most of them hold their beliefs and then create a religion to suit that belief system. I think that it is great to give discount missionary flights as missionary travel can get really expensive, and from what I understand many of these people have to pay out of their own pockets to complete their missionary work.
Don't get me wrong, I do realize that there are people out their doing really missionary work and religious tours and I applaud their level of commitment to their churches as well as God. I know that God smiles happily upon those who are really trying to bring back society to a more God based place, and that is what it says in the Bible as well. I look forward to the day, when all religion will be based in the good realm instead of religion based on twisted ideas that could have only come from that un-Godlike place in our universe. I look forward to the day, when everyone finds it necessary to spread the word of God and religion in the purest form all over the globe. I think that there are many people in the world who could use the good news of a higher power and a better world through Christ. I don't know how long it will take to get to this place, but I know it can make a difference.
