Langston Hughes in his story “Salvation” relates that he wanted to see Jesus in a congregational's meeting in order to earn salvation. However, he never saw him, but he lied to satisfy and please himself and the community. He was afraid of being different and facing the others' judgment. Unfortunately, it frequently happens in our lives that we act in a particular way not by conviction, but from pressure. As we can see in this story, parishioners sometimes act out of demands and not for faith, and it has caused disbelief in different religions. As a result, I recommend honesty, courage and truthfulness although these qualities are unusual to most people.
