I have never been very religious. My parents aren't very relgious but my grandfather as well as my aunt are both devote Catholics and have lectured me my entire life about God. I never really took much of that in. I studied different religions and never really excepted any of them. Truth be told I don't really believe in religion. I'm not even sure I believe in God, although recently I'd have to say I've had more faith.
I don't know about you guys but the most devoted religious people I have ever met are all people who have sinned a LOT. Do they expect to be forgiven? There's this one guy who has done so many bad things. I'm pretty sure he's ordered hits on people yet now he's "clean" and welcomes God with open arms. He's always ragging on us saying shit like against us because we don't pray and aren't religious. Heh. I may not believe in God, but I haven't done half the sinful things he has. Nor have my parents and they aren't any more religious than I am.
Basically what I've done throughout my years is take in all the information, ethics and belief system's and use those to develope my own personal philosophy about what's morally right and wrong. I don't believe that some God will spite me if I masturbate or have sex before I'm married. I just try and be a good person and if there is a God than I hope he'll accept me for who I am and what I've tried to accomplish throughout my life.
