im christian and i love being one and i love jesus cuz he is my savior

Life is too
Short to spend
It at war with
Yourself.
I’m catching stars in the sky because I am fixing the soul within me. May it be from the heart a girl broke years ago or my soul simply repairing itself as it was shattered on my walk on this earth. May the stardust fill those cracks within my soul making me brand new, but never forgetting who I once was.

I'm Catholic but I don't practice it. There's a lot of stuff I don't agree with.
One of the things that I'm adimant about is not worshipping God in a place built by the hands of man. To me worshipping in a church is suffocating and uncomfortable especially being around a lot of people since it makes it feel impersonal. I would rather much worship God out in a nature setting by myself where it's a lot more freeing and personal.

I'm raised as a Catholic and in my country, the culture had Indochina and western influence. I believe in God,and practice the good moral teachings of Catholicism though I also believe in evolutionism and many studies in science and as well as the bible is not to be taken literally.

Atheist. I perceive the world as I see with my own eyes, not by other people coercing me with their believes and sufforcating my own.
To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To give of one's self; To leave the world a bit better...; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - This is to have succeeded. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I'm gonna say Atheist. I don't believe in a god or a religion. I'm more of a believer of fate but I had no idea if that counts as a religious belief, so...yeah...Atheist.

I'm an Atheist.
I was always raised as a Catholic, baptised and all that jazz, but It's been years since I actually believed in Catholic teachings and lived a Catholic life.
I grew up, I got a mind of my own, and I decided that my faith doesn't lie in Catholicism or any other religion. The only faith I have is faith within myself. I refuse to allow myself to be dictated by unrealistic teachings and false stories, it doesn't seem right. So, I found freedom in Atheism.
PM me anytime, I love helping people and will do my best to help you <3
And if I bleed, I'll bleed knowing you don't care

Unfortunately my family are catholic so it was expected of me that I would be too however the catholic church and the antics of its 'leaders' disgust and anger me and that has led me to disregard all types of religions. I am now atheist as is my mum and brother, my grandparents however are practicing catholics. Like others have said I believe strongly in fate and I have faith, just not in any deities.

I was baptized Catholic, though most of my actual beliefs lie non denominational.
Though, I am also intrigued by Buddhism. There are several of the Buddhist beliefs that I believe, though I do not identify as Buddhist.

Getting baptized is one of the best choices you will ever make
I myself am mormon and love and agree with my faith and everything my church does and teaches.

I'm personally agnostic, however I was baptised with Church of England. I don't believe in God, but I don't not believe in God.
I feel it is slightly irrational that one being could create so much in 7 days, or even that one being created so much. I'm not dismissing the chance though, being agnostic I do keep myself open minded for it. The problem is that I disagree with a lot of what places of worship say and the Holy books stories. I prefer to believe my own beliefs and go on from there, so that's pretty much what I do.
If God was proven to me, I would certainly believe in him and a religion, but since no such thing has happened, for me it's a 'better safe than sorry' situation with religion. I won't say God doesn't exsist, but I wont say he does.

I am Lutheran. If i had to choose between that and Catholic, I would choose Lutheran. MY parents say we're more laid back, and it seems rather simpler then all of the Catholic beliefs. We believe in a lot of the same things though.
