During my reading of Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan I have come across many different religious prospects to directly relate to the Greek and Roman religions from thousands of years ago. From it, I can learn what it means to truly serve and respect your own religion. Christianity dates back to just after the Greeks and during the Romans. During my reading the characters interact with and even pray to their "god". Each child has special powers and abilities based on their godly father or mother. Just like that, God has given us our own special talents and skills to fit our personalities. Also, the characters have to make many sacrifices, but Jesus was our ultimate sacrifice. Because of Him, we can live freely knowing our sins have been forgiven. The only difference is, in the Greek religion, when you die you go to the underworld no matter what. In Christianity all you have to do is accept Jesus as Lord and Savior and you go to Heaven forever. We really do have a fantastic religion, don't we?
