I believe in religion.. but I dont have one myself.
it is something that you can have inside of you to bring you hope, and self confidence, and structure.
I wrote an essay about this once, don't make me do it again!

You're confusing religion and spirituality. The latter is what one has or has not got within the self, the former is organized worship.

And we don't want to be like fanatical Muslims, who are so sure of their beliefs, they think they should undertake a Jihad (holy war) against the other religions of the world. You know, i was baptised when i was 18, and i don't think it has hurt me any, although being involved with the pastors daughter did![/QUOTE]
I would like to point out that for every militant Muslim, there is a militant Christian, a militant Jew, a militant Hindu and even, ironically, a militant Buddhist willing to shed someone else's blood.

It is *really* funny you bring that up, it's pretty much the synopsis for a video I was going to do.... just need a stack of Bibles and a pen.
I'll probably get arrested, even though impersonating Jesus isn't exactly a crime...... I can't HELP it if I look like him.

No contest - if there is a 2nd coming, it's Ted Neeley.

I once pulled something like that off. There is a very annoying Christian book-shop in my hometown (the owners are fundamentalists of the type "if you're not with my church I am free to run your kids over with my car"), and I barged in there, dressed in a Roman toga, wearing a false beard and inquiring about a "novel that goes by the name of the "New Testament", as I hear I'm in it". I didn't get arrested, just thrown out. The looks of deep insult mixed with fear and confusion were worth it, though.

I agree that religion and morality are not mutually exclusive. I personally am in the process of becoming a Catholic (one of my parents is a lapsed Catholic, the other was a Methodist) because I feel that it's the right path for me to become a better person - and that's really what it comes down to, doesn't it? If you don't feel it's right for you, then you'll be trying to fit into something where you really don't feel you belong, and that's no good.
I'm a catholic, for almost all my life, and I was raised in a very strong based catholic family. That's why maybe they think I'm the black sheep of the family xD...
Anyways, what I was gonna say is after going to church every sunday and doing all the stuff that Catholics do, the best way to find God is being happy with what you are and with everything that surrounds you. That's what can help you in the right way and the right path of your life, nothing more nothing less

Ah. Well, I'm Orthodox Christian....and my parents make me go to church every saturday and sunday and other days of the week. As much as it is annoying...Which it is...-_-...I still have to do it. Well anyway...I think going to church and being part of something is really good. I mean, if you pay attention and you participate and shit.. G** may ......eh...do something good for you. And you might live a fuller life, I guess. That's what they tell me, anyway. But anywho...It's really just a matter of personal opinion. if you don't mind participating and sitting and listening and etc etc.
some are cold, but few are frozen.
