Everyone is asleep and the house is quiet. Grandma is spending the night. It's kind of cold...
Religion has always been an interest to me. Although many kids, and adults, run from it or seek non other than what they know, i have a want for more. More knowledge.
It seems as if religion is simply a label for your spiritual beliefs. The word 'Christianity' is a label for those who believe Jesus is Christ, and believe in the teachings of Jesus. This is what dictionary.com says:
Christianity:
n 1: a monotheistic system of beliefs and practices based on the Old Testament and the teachings of Jesus as embodied in the New Testament and emphasizing the role of Jesus as savior.
I do not know what 'category' my belief is put under. I think that i lack enough knowledge to categorize and label myself as a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, or everything else out there.
..I do wear a cross on my neck. My mother gave it to me when i was 7. It has a dent in it, because i was shot by a gun and the bullet hit the cross and it saved me, or i dropped it down the drain and bent it while fishing it out; whichever one is more exciting for you. If someone was to ask if i we're Christian i would say "I don't know." I do strongly admire Jesus and his ways of teaching, according to scripture. Whether or not he is Christ, i do believe he is a holy man, and i respect that much. That's why i wear it...and also because it has family significance.
Religion is our own. It is personal. It is when extreme actions take place, then the world hates you for your belief.
I want to say so much more...there's so much going on in my mind. No one likes reading though. I hope someone will read. Maybe you can join me someday...

Religion is our own. It is personal. - This is very true. I can discuss almost anything with people but find religion difficult. Not the intellectual stuff but what I believe. Part of the reason is that is personal and part is that when I try to lable it and describe it I find it difficult.
