My religion is my own choice. No once else in my family believes in what I do.

I avoid religion and seek spirituality

I can't say I'm very religious.
I used to be quite religious earlier.
It was mostly because of my grandparents, even now, I attend a catholic school.

however, the more I learn about christianship during history lessons, the less I want to be a christian...


Now left in dark I bleed, there's nothing more I need...

My mom mostly. She stressed Catholic doctrines. For a while I dismissed them, but now its more of a familiarity with the practices and an awe in the "communion of saints" which keeps me in it. But I am not free from a special form of religious scrutiny in the south. A lot of the people in my high school believe that Catholics are non-Christian and will all go to hell. One of my friends actually told me that the Pope was the anti-Christ and Mother Teresa didn't do anything worthy during her lifetime. Maybe its true, but if so then the anti-Christ better get busy with demonizing the world (or whatever it is that anti-Christs do) and we should never imitate Mother Teresa in helping the poor. It honestly boils my blood to see people judge on whether or not someone is going to be "saved" based solely on their religion. This is all speculation, its all personal belief. See, even Christians are subject to Christian raving and narrow-minded judgment.

It's a personal thing.

I am religious because it is knowing God... and also, it strives me to do good and to do what is right... No, actually, the tv has no use for me when it comes to religious stuff... Its my parents and also my friends

Because my family has always been spiritual. But, in a liberal sense. I've been allowed to be of any religion of my choice, I was never forced into anything.

Except nun school *shivers*, that increased my wanting to flee being Catholic...
