Read, But Don't Give Me Hell!!!!

I haven't posted a blog with a point in a while. So I think I've been blogging long enough that I am no longer introducing myself to the world of blogging.

So I'm going to talk about religion.

I am a confirmed Catholic in the church's eyes. Now, it's a great thing to have. I can get married in the church, I can be a godparent or sponsor, etc. It's fantastic that I would be able to offer that to many of the people I know and love.

Now, the certificates I have and the countless times I have sat through a sermon really don't really have anything to do with what I truly believe in my heart. I'm sure many people would agree. What I've done isn't really a commitment to a religion, but to my family.

I'm agnostic. I'm not a true Catholic. I have no problem with homosexuals, sex before marriage, and missing church on Sundays. I don't believe that a god could've seen one person and decided she alone was good enough to have his kid. And I can't believe he'd love that one kid more than the others, enough to give him special powers over the others.

That's why I decided I didn't believe. I don't want to undermine anyone else's beliefs, but that's what I believe. I know that some people say that because I made my confirmation I CAN'T be agnostic. Not true. I went through the motions, all the while believing something else. And somedays it's hard knowing I'm different from what my parents expect me to be.

I believe in science. That's another reason. There's too much evidence that puts the Bible/Torah/Other religious scriptures down the drain. THIS IS WHAT HAS BEEN PROVEN AND COMMONLY ACCEPTED BY MOST EVERYBODY!!!! They are FACTS. What we base the whole ground of our modern society on. We don't pay taxes so poverty-ridden fairies and buy their bread from the elves, right? We live in a world where we depend on facts. These are the facts.

I am not an atheist (a believer in NO god). An atheist has to know more about what they are talking about. The point of being agnostic is being unsure.

I hold onto the things I have in the Catholic community because maybe one day some kind of commitment spark will hit me. Y'know?

It's just the way it is.
