Today (03/01/17) I have been to an event called “Carry the Love”. First when I arrived, people were very nice, I sign in and then I found myself in the same room than the first day for the orientation. There was many people all listening to a girl on the stage. She was telling story about love, faith, and Jesus. Then I realize that it was a religious event, and that people from the organization was trying to make people believe in Jesus, and in their religion.
It was quite interesting because people were really into the event, and we could felt that she was talking about something that passionate her.
Anyway, I left 30 minutes later because I wasn’t felling good staying there, I felt that it wasn’t my place.
This event really disturbed me, because no one told me that it was a religious event. And as I come from France, it is unusual to see people expressing about their religion in public space.
Even if I didn’t fell confortable assisting to this event, I recognize that people were very nice.
