Absolutely true. You can have a relationship with god and not involve the church or christianity. My own beliefs have developed through experiences, not through whatever the sisters or priests were yammering on about when I was in school. I think that "forcing" religious beliefs on anyone is going to cause rebellion and resentment.

For years I hated Catholicism and everything it stood for. That hatred then spread on to any form of organized religion. Then, for years I was absolutely sure there was no god whatsoever.

As an adult events happened that changed my mind....I believe in god but I don't go to church and I am not a christian. But I do know that some sort of a higher power has saved my ass twice in my life. These types of occurrences either happen to you and make and impact on your life or they don't. Whatever the case, it is strictly up to you and what you believe.

I will not even touch on my thoughts about christianity or we will be here all day. Let's just say it's not my cup of tea.
maryjanemama Reviewed by maryjanemama on . Do you believe in a god? I grew up in a Christian family, and every Sunday my parents brought me to church to learn the word of god. As I grew up, the more I began to think about religion and this idea of a god, and the more it came to me, isn't this a bit silly? This almighty powerful god for some reason created this extraordinarily complex universe and then left without showing shed of proof of his existence. I have talked with many religious people and have tried to understand their reasoning as to why they believe Rating: 5
