Hello,
I know how you feel about Christianity or religion in general. Its the people that makes Christianity ugly. but I can’t blame them because people are people, and no matter how strong and beautiful our words are today… time would really come that our faith and actions will be tested and some endures the testing and others just don’t. Hope you find the peace in your heart and know the truth.
God bless.

An interesting post, but just a thought: I think the supposed drop in religion speaks of a larger symptom in our country, and that’s declining demographics. When I hear about studies like this, I wonder if the study is taking into effect the fact that people aren’t having as many children these days anymore, and the effect that this is having on the country?

Faith is an interesting thing and I continue through a seekers path. My mother had several aunts who were nuns and one of them agreed that the journey is as important as anything. As for me, I’m not sure but I could certainly be a “small c” christian. I figure if you live the life you should whatever happens later is out of our hands.

Well written post.

My sentiments exactly. I always haad an innate faith in God but saw too much ugliness coming in the name of God. Opposite to you I was married to a Muslim and now married to a Buddhist who is like me takes the good from all paths. I still don’t drink alcohol or eat pork, I recite certain prayers before going out of the house, but I don’t wear a hijab anymore. I visit Mosques, Temples and Churches when in the mood but don’t judge people for their beliefs.I was raised a Greek Orthodox but went to a Catholic private school and was raised in the U.K So one can’t get more screwed up than that rofl. For m religion is in the heart. If you can say and do something good and learn wisdom rather than judging others all the time and being dogmatic, then religion will mean something, otherwise it is a load of baloney as they say in the U.S. You have to feel comfort in your Faith that is important and I am glad you have found a corner to be content in. God bless you. There is only One anyway whatever we want to call Him.

it is the people, not the religion itself , and how they use religion as a weapon to hurt others. I cannot say that I’m a strict catholic, but I believe in God, though I cannot follow the 10 commandments word for word, as long as I don’t hurt others, I guess it’s fine, you have a very nice blog indeed.

If I think about it too much I get really angry. I miss the innocence of my youth when I had unquestionable, unwavering faith and belief – religion brought peace and comfort.

I could write about religion/faith/God/etc until I’m blue in the face if only I could gather my thoughts well enough to do just that.
God made us in his image and likeness, we were perfect at conception and then life happened and screwed us all up!
Love & Forgiveness will give us back much of what life has taken from us.

you know, you are correct that religion nowadays are full of hypocrasy: saying that they are loving God but disobeying his laws; saying that they love their fellowmen but battling them in wars, american catholics killing catholics of the other country; husband telling their wives to be submissive but not doing anything to earn the respect; and so on and so forth…….. the list will be forever.

however, it is inevitable that time will come when all of this religions will be destroyed. because of their unwarranted acts and records, they will be destined to vanished forever.

ironically, though, they will be destroyed by their allied today. the United Nations (together with all the political entities all over the world) will be the one who will destroy all existing religions…….

I wasn’t sure how to respond to this post, but Brad did it for me. I can say it no better. Your honesty was refreshing.
