Nosebleed,

I'll jump in a little bit here. I was raised a catholic and rebelled when I turned 18 and could make my own decisions. I mostly questioned how the rules could change when the pope or the priest decided it was okay to change them. At this point I thought I was Atheist.

I've had friends of other faiths and I've always found it fascinating that there could be so many different religions and everyone thinks theirs is the right one. My personal feeling is that I don't believe the bible to be true - I used to joke that I would write my own bible and bury it in my backyard and see if a new religion starts in 20,000 years.

I will admit that I become quite frustrated and angry when certain religions will say that if you aren't in their faith you will be condemned to hell - fortunately I guess for me, I don't believe in hell.

My sister and I used to just think that we were put here to do the best we can and not hurt people and that we don't need a religion to fill in the rest.

I no longer consider myself Atheist; rather, I am spiritual. My own opinion is that there is an energy source that is made of all the good of people and it resides on the "other side". I believe that when we die, we will sit and reflect on our life. The only person to judge me will be me. I also believe that if I think I need to learn more lessons, I will reincarnate back onto the earth.

I guess my point in this is that no one really knows what is right or wrong because I don't think there is a right or wrong. I think that it is whatever you feel the strongest about will be the right thing for you - that's why they call it faith.

Tranquility
