Interview

Interview with Jordan Yates.  !. How does the commandment "I am the Lord your God, who bought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery, you shall have no other gods before me" relate to your life? For me, as a catholic, the first commandment is applicable in the sense that, well, it doesnt really bother me to be honest. It doesnt bother me because I know that there is a god because from various experiences throughout my life there have been occurrences where there is something metaphysical out there, but what? As a result of a metaphysical being my religious belief emphasizes the first commandment.

2. Where does the idea of god being the omnipitent come from? The idea of god being omnipitent comes from the bible. To me, the bible is a reflection of the beliefs within catholicism and christianity for that matter.Ii basically use the teachings of the bible to guide my life.

3. When the bible is a guide for your life, what examples are applicable? Basically, through my work with saint vincent de Paul, I see the beliefs of chritianity highlighted, and so, through my work I'm able to undestand what it means to be a catholic.

﻿4. Why do you choose to live by this commandment? I do it because it provides me with a sense of morality, hope and justice. O therwise, why choose to have faith?
