Diary: I do not understand why people will not listen to me. God is the only way, ONLY WAY, you hear me. If they do not find their faith they will die in hell. How could a person say that God does not exist, that is just asking to be killed. They must find their faith in me soon, because they are really making me made. I preach to them everyday telling them that God is the only way, and yet they choose not to listen to me, and rather say he does not exist. What am I to do with these people?-Jonathan Edwards
Reflection: After reading Sinners At the Hand of an Angry God I realized that the pursuit of one’s religion has always been an issue as many people feel the need to force others to believe what they believe. Edward Taylor is a great example of this as he wants to chase his religion to its full extent but also captivates and force others in doing so. I really do not feel that this is the way to go about influencing your religion on others, because at the same time it is presenting your religion as very controlling.
