Are you religious?

[bremer51]

I'm a Christian and I go to church most Sundays, sing in the choir, serve on Boards.  I consider the members to be my church family and we support each other.  We don't do it for "show."

I'm not religious but I do have a relationship with Jesus Christ. For me, there is a difference.

I was raised a Catholic but, my "taste" for the Catholic church took a nose dive years ago when they refused to let my severely asthmatic child learn his "religious" lessons at home.  I felt they made the choice for me to disown them - although I will never turn my back on God - with or without a church!!

yes god is great

[adriarobi]

I have faith in the Almighty God, Jesus His son, and the Holy Spirit.

If you mean do have "religious practices", no. 

I have faith that is always there....in church, in home, in the grocery store.

I was baptized Catholic and believe very much in God and Jesus. I pray every night but I don't go to church. I would like to though, I did when I was a child.

I'm a Born Again Christian. I believe in the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.

[Cbsteffen]

Yes. I respect religion of every type.

6265AT99, Have you ever considered looking for a different Catholic parish to attend?  Even though the Catholic church is universal, you still are dealing with other human beings with human faults and clashing personalities. That doesn't make the Church bad, but some parishes or priests or administrators tend to be less personable or accommodating.  Again, that is a flaw in the individuals, not the Church as a whole.  I've known many people over the years who have had bad experiences at one parish and rather than leave the Church, have chosen a different parish where they thrived and felt like a part of the family.

I understand and respect the people who feel a sense of individual spirituality, but I would feel absolutely LOST without a parish family -- especially since I have my parish family to thank for introducing me to my wife and my resulting nuclear family!

It's complicated. When I was younger, I definitely was. I went to Catholic school all my life, went to church and prayed often. Then as I got older, I began to lose my faith. I gave up on God and declared myself an Atheist. But then something amazing happened. I met a man who I feel deeply in love with, but he lived in another state. Long-distance was a struggle, so we decided it was best for me to move up to where he lived. I began to apply for jobs, and got a call from a company. I wanted the job so bad, and wanted to be with my man so bad, that I began to pray again. I went to Church, and prayed the Rosary every night. Well I wound up getting the job, and now we live together and I couldn't be happier. And now I know, there is a God, and he is GREAT!

[Shaquaysha2210]

spiritual but I do believe in the bible

[beatsdrop]

Not exactly, but I still maintain my faith.

[nannycoe1]

I don't call it religious, but I do believe in God and pray everyday. I go to church occasionally

[jenniferhoder]

I am religious.  I attend mass weekly. I enjoy it and I am raising my kids to believe in something and to know there are so consequences for negative/ bad behaviors.
