What are your religious beliefs, or lack thereof?

I didn't see a thread like this, and I'm curious as to what everyone's spiritual or religious beliefs are. I am an atheist. I have a spiritual hunger though, so I wish I could wrap my mind around Pantheism, but I just can't.

What do you believe?

That's the trouble with all religions. They attract so many imperfect people.

I don't bother with him...he ain't worth my time..and believe me I've had a few arguments with him over stupid shyte...he once threatened me with the line of "I will tell your hubs what you said to me as I see him every Sunday morning" we have a very popular last name in the church...good luck dude hubs never goes to church so that was a major laugh on my end and besides you don't even know me...he doesn't know half the kids in the school...very confusing since the last priest knew all the children...this guy is a pita.

Re: What are your religious beliefs, or lack thereof?

I haven't had any religious beliefs since I was 16 yrs. old. I left the Catholic Church emotionally when I was 16 yrs. and physically when I was 20 yrs. old.

I think of myself as an agnostic because I want to keep my mind and heart open to the world around me.

If there really is a Heaven or Hell, I know that I'll be travelling upwards since I try to be the best person that I can be.

I just don't really care anymore..I dropped off C, J and Quin last year...the boys wer both making sacraments...after that was done...haven't been back...will pick up inthe fall...but I have no interest in it. With the current priest we have...a total backwards man he is...turns a load of peeps off...he is extremely sexist...can't be bothered. I wish the archdiocese had kept Fr. Mike in our church...everybody loved him...except the pastor. He always had a lively ceremony...made peeps laugh.

And forget Christmas & Easter...nope, don't go at all. We just don't bother.
