: If it doesn't offend you, or if you wouldn't mind sharing..
: Are you a religious person? Somewhat
: If so what religion do you practice? I was raised Catholic but I don't believe in a lot of their teachings. I mean, I read a statement Madona gave on religion.. I'm paraphrasing of course, but it was something like.. 'I don't see the point in lumping everyone in to different categories, doesn't that go away from what christians are supposed to do? I believe we're all going to the same place, it's up to everyone as individuals to decide how they want to get there' I like that a lot, it sort of sums up my views on religion.
: If not, why? n/a
: Have you ever questioned your faith? Who hasn't?
: Was there a particular moment or event that sparked your questioning? History class, I know that probably sounds dumb, though. I just got to thinking about how there were countless cultures before our time that believed in their god or gods. We now look back on them and their religious beliefs as literature and nothing more. How do you know that five thousand years from now someone won't be looking back going.. "Oh, those silly Christians"
