    I don't claim to be perfect, but... I am pretty darn good with my morals.

    I decided to stop going to church (Catholic) when the priest stood up there and basically told us we had to vote for Bush. It was 2004. I decided that I make my own decisions; I'm not going to let someone stand up there and tell me I'm a "sinner" if I don't side with them politically. I figured it hypocritical for a church to be against abortion but for war. Both are killing, no?

    Anyway... my mom raised me with morals. I didn't have a sip of alcohol until I was 21, and even then, it was after my 21st birthday. I have never touched drugs or cigarettes. I am 32 years old and have only been with one person and he has only been with me (my now husband; we've been together almost 16 years now). I am open minded, not racist, not judgmental. I am liberal. I'm basically a hippie, minus the drugs. LOL.

    I am happy to go with my heart and conscience and I don't think it was the years of shame the Catholic Church bestowed upon me. Going to confession? I don't need that. I know right from wrong and when I make a mistake, I learn from it. I have compassion for other people and am always reaching out to help others.

    That said, I do respect other religions and I honestly do not care. I am supportive. My son goes with my MIL to church sometimes and I have no issues with him going. I will let my children decide what they want to believe and will not force my "agnosticism" on them.

    i started my own religion, the I DONT KNOW religion. because i dont know. Everyone has there theories but im not going to spend my time worrying about those things., when ever, I DONT KNOW, some thing i just say I DONT KNOW, then move on (unless its actually learning how to do something tangible ). I DO KNOW that, that lady was happy when i stopped and took time and changed her tire last week(and didnt drive by and pry she was ok) , Theres good and bad people , i like good people I DONT KNOW i just do. if at the end (assuming there is and end) and theres 2 sides i figure if im an upstanding human(in my opinion) they will both want me on there team (kinda like the voice) and i will get to choose . any way im the only one in my religion , Stage Dive and thrive , if it makes you happy

    I'm not associated with any particular religion. I think I could find aspects that I apply to my life from just about any religion.

    I believe in good morals, equality, respect for nature and choosing to help others. :smile:

    Born and Raised Roman Catholic.

    Now, I just try to love and accept everyone for what they are. I believe in God. I don't really agree with all the Church's teachings.

    ^pretty much me also.

    Hahaha - I think someone asking these kinds of questions on MFP is probably a goner. Religion and Politics are the 2 topics that can divide anyone.

    Having a personal relationship with Christ is better than religion.

    I am Pentecostal by experience and Apostolic by doctrine.

    (In other words, Im a one God, Apostolic, Tongue talkin', Holy Rollin', Heaven bound, Believer!)

    I don't have one.

    I suppose if you wanted to prescribe my ideology to something it would be Humanism.

    born and raised Catholic but like many young adults, i do not practice much. I do, however have this thing i call "beating the beast (devil)" where i make sure to burn more than 666 calories doing cardio. it is motivational because i pretend that the devil will come and find me if i don't beat that number. lol. whatever works right?!

    Agnostic but if I were to choose any religion to follow I think buddhism would be my choice :)
