Religion.

[imabrat]

I'm somewhere.
I have a love/hate relationship with God.

I don't know where I am. I don't devote myself to one religion solely, I actually believe in bits and pieces of different religions. Mix in some Catholic here, with some Jewish there, and a dash of Buddhist there. (That isn't actually what I believe in, just an example)

From my younger years though, I am registered with the Roman Catholic Church.

For my younger years I believe I was Protestant.
I think that's what my mother told me.

I wish I knew.

If ind it sad you don't know what you believe in.

Call me ignorant or whatever.
I think things just are.
I don't need a reason for why we exist.
And I don't need faith either to explain it for me...

I ask you the same question.
What do you think has always been?

 

[amloveaffair]

No religious affiliation. I don't detest anyone's religion but I don't identify with one or feel that religion is right for me.

 

[inlalaland]

I really don't know what my religion is. I was baptized a Christian, but I don't follow the bible. I don't go to church anymore, but I strongly believe in God, heaven & angels. But I'm not "officially" in a religion.

Don't feel sad for me. I believe that things are as they are. I don't have one set thing I live my life by. I just live, and take things as they are.

I would say I only believe in things that can be proven, but that's false. There are some things that my mind and soul believes and some things it doesn't.

I grew up going to Catholic Church my whole and pretty much just a few years ago I hardly go anymore other than Easter and Christmas.

 

[chisnpeke]

I'm a Christian. I was baptised Methodist and was confirmed into my Methodist church. I believe in God and Heaven. I really only go to church on Easter and Christmas Eve though.

There are a lot of things that Christianity preaches (especially the Catholic church) that I do not agree with at all and I think are very very outdated.

There are also some things in the Bible that I do not take literally, but I do think the Bible is a good tool for guidance on some things when you need it.

I also do not think that being a Christian is your only way to Heaven. For example, I think Jewish people go to Heaven. I think that Heaven is open to anyone who is a genuinely good person. I think that Hell is reserved for people who are evil.

 

[amloveaffair]

I think everyone has to believe that something has always been.
What is it for you?

No, they don't.

 

[Tinkerbell424]

we all believe a little differently everyone though believes in the rede meaning rule which is : and if it harms none, do as you will.
we dont believe in any pure form of evil ( like satan) everyone goes to heaven or summerland for us ( go ahead laugh lol, i think its kinda funny) we think evil is a choice and your punished with threefold karma, like if i punched someone i would get punished three times as bad like falling down stairs. most of us believe in reincarnation, you relive and relive until you learn all of lifes lessons.. thats the big chunk if you have any more q's just ask meh!!

That's cool. :]
I have a book that tells everything about Wicca, it's pretty cool to read.


I have never been bat mitzvahed or have gone to temple. I've been with friends and such but never with family. My dad's a roman catholic and wouldn't let me be bat mitzvahed or anything like that. My mom wouldn't allow me to be baptised either.

I haven't read the torah and believe the things I want to believe. I would have definitely gone to temple but unfortunately, it costs way to much money for my family to afford just to pray.

I believe in god, angels and a heaven. I think everyone is welcomed to heaven aslong as you are a good person and haven't killed or such.

Jewish right here! I'm a lot like you, Tinkerbell. I didn't get Bar Mitvahed, or read the Torah. I do know some Hebrew and pray sometimes, though praying is infrequent.

I'm glad to see another Jew like me. Most of the Jews at my school are like "You don't go to Temple?!?! You're Not Jewish!!!" One girl even accused me of not being Jewish just because I didn't recognize the word in Hebrew. I mean, I understand if it meant hello or goodbye, but it meant prostitute (am I allowed to say that?). How am I supposed to know that?

 

[AmandaSparks730]

Athiest.

Was baptised as a baby (of 3 months) and never went to church after. I mean, my parents and I didn't.

So, I never went to Sunday School, never made First Communion, don't go to CCD (whatever that is), etc.

I basically was raised to choose my own religion.

That reminds me a lot of Garden State. "So you're like really jewish right?!"

I know a few words in Yiddish but that's about it. I wear a Jewish star and pray whenever I remember to. I really would like to pray more and have a stronger connection to angels and god.

At my school, I'm teased for being Jewish. This one boy, made it clear that he's a german and doesn't like jewish people, or whatever. He would constantly make jewish jokes towards me. So I told him I'd send him back to Germany and he replied "I'll send you back to concentration camps"

I feel like im in a minority[Spelling?].

Glad to see another Jewish person on here!

I worked with this guy who was Mormon. This other guy we worked with used to pick on him really bad. He was serious about it too and it was awful. I got so fed up with it, I punched him.

I wanted to smack him SO bad.
But if I did I probably would have gotten suspended or something.
Ugh! People can be such jerks.

 

[goofyandplutoluver]

Catholic.
I've gone to a Catholic school my whole life.

I know. I didn't get in trouble surprisingly. The guy I hit got fired though.

 

[ktbutterfly2011]

No, they don't.

How can you not believe that something has been here forever?

Like. Something HAS to have been. You dont' have to think it was 'God' and you don't have to think it was even a divine being.

But something has to have always been.
