The way I see it, if two people meet in high school or whatever, fall in love, get married, are together faithfully for 40 years, and then one dies in a car crash, what does that mean? The one left behind gets no love of that kind for half of their life? No. Someone else will come along, if they want one to.
I'm a practicing Catholic. But I'm a very... open-minded one. I'm aware of the problems organized religions pose, but I'm more interested in my relation to God than what other people think I should be thinking. So the answer is kind of both.
I wasn't raised with a religion. It's weird, because when I was sent to lived in Alabama for awhile, and they're very religious there. And then Keystone. But... I've always known what's going to happen to me when I die. And I've met gods and agents of God, and... all of that seems so alien. But it doesn't mean I don't have faith, you know?
I bet it was strange, suddenly being thrust into religion like that.
Faith is... it's different than religion. And I think more important. Religion tells you if you don't follow these specific teachings, you're going to a bad place. I don't know that I feel that way. I think God is forgiving, and if you're a good person, you'll be fine. That's faith.
Are you very religious, or do you just sort of talk to God in an informal way?
