I've noticed a lot of posts that have asked people to pray for them etc. I was wondering what religion everyone belonged to, if you belong to one at all. I know you're not supposed to talk religion or politics with your friends, but oh well, I've been wondering for awhile. I think we all respect each other enough not to be judgemental. So how 'bout it. My religion is very important to me and because of that I respect Lisa Whelchel and the times she's taken a stand because of her beliefs. I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. A long title I know, but a pretty good church.

What are your beliefs?

I'm a Southern Baptist, but I'm not too religious. I was raised in a church pretty much, though, because my grandfather is pastor of ours. But when I was seven my dad got laid off from his job at General Electric, and we switched churches so he could become youth minister at another church. Then, when he quit that job, we went back to our old church, and we stayed there for a while. But me and my sister both started having a lot of trouble with the people there and we stopped going to church altogether. Now my sister's 17 and my parents are letting her make her own decision about whether she wants to start going again, but I don't have a choice and we started going regularly again two weeks ago. I believe in Jesus, and I believe in Heaven and Hell and everything, but I don't pray very often or anything...

I don't mind discussing religion and I'm a poli sci major so I really don't mind discussing politics! I was raised in a very Catholic household. My mom was my 7th and 8th grade religion teacher. Went to Catholic school from K-8, but not for high school because the closest one was in Lexington. I don't always agree with what the Catholic church preaches, but the overall, main beliefs I fully believe in. I didn't really appreciate it when a Priest told me women should be subserviant to men, and I find the whole birth control/abortion (really stirring it up now) views to be a bit of a double standard. In college I still go to church every other week and do little stuff like a short prayer before a crew race or stuff like that. I don't like forcing my views on other people that they should believe what I believe, but I don't mind sharing.

I uesed to be German Reformed and I went to a German church in our town. (I live in a German Backround type town) But then When My brother started sunday school German was to hard for him to understand that we left that church and went to Hope Reformed Church, it has the same belifes as our old church.

I have been to church exactly once.
And that was becuase I slept over at a friends house when I was, like 8, and they took me to church with them...My parents are the least religious people in the entire world. We celebrate Christmas and all, but....
anybody else like me?

I was baptized a Roman Catholic, but these days I don't know what the hell I am. I don't go to church, don't pray, nothing.
