Religion is one of those topics i dont really get into.

 

I am Church of England.

 

I dont care what others think about religion, you either have faith or you dont , some believe some dont. End of story for me!!! Im not a church goer but i will go for special occasions and certain dates of the year. But i have no issues with people that like to go every week, just because i dont get there often doesnt mean i dont believe , i dont need a church to say my prayers or believe.

I am a catholic convert...did it after I got married...I also don't go to church anymore...I don't need the four walls to help sustain my beliefs and faith...I am very spiritual..and there probably are not many who have a stronger faith in god than I do..

 

I have no problem with what and how others carry their faith...what I do not like is those people who have the need to say that one faith is wrong while theirs is right...hogwash...

I am Church of England but was brought up Catholic as my dad was a catholic.

 

I am a believer in god but do not attend church, and I dont care what others beliefs are as long as they dont try and ram their beliefs down my throat. I dont do it and wouldnt expect to have it done to me.

I am a Baptist but I do believe that when things go wrong in someones lives they all cry out Oh God Help Me. I just don't believe that there are those that don't call out to Him when they are in desperate need. I don't feel bad about anyone with different religions than I have. We will all know the truth one day. I feel that God wants us to love one another and be good to all. Even if they don't feel the same way you do about Religion. I also believe that you can Talk to God knowmatter where you are. It doesn't have to be in a fancy Church . I do most of my Talking to God when I am out walking. I don't cram it down peoples throat either. Unless I am asked a question that they may need help in. If I can't help I do let them know there is God that can help even if I can't. If they feel the need to reach out to Him I feel good about it. I do go to chuch when I can. But if for some reason we don't make it I don't believe God is going to condemn me for It. My Grandpa  didn't go to church but my Grandma did and I asked him one time why he didn't he said he can worship God in his back yard and I will always remember that. I do feel that they are both with Him today. I was told later in life that the Church itself hurt my Grandpa one time when he needed help from them. Church is ok but we all have people in the churches that need to get themselves straighted up and treat each other the way God wants them to treat one another. . Hugs, Dottiemaye

I'm Church of England, but have attended many churches over the years and was educuated in a Convent.

 

I believe that one's faith is a very personal thing and that's how it should be kept. If someone asks my beliefs I explain them.

 

I represented all the C of E churches in my home town once for a multi-faith build and run project for a drop-in centre.  I can honestly say that I have never come across so many people who do not practise what they preach. There were quite a few red faces when I quietly stated that I was an unmarried single mother and it was unfair to judge people by labelling as they were.  In my view and on paper the Centre was to help anyone who needed it, but their plan was to highlight 'the error of people's ways' and thrust religion at them.

 

I'm glad to say that I was the one to open and run the Centre until a manager was appointed and the only religious message that users got was seeing the devotion shown by all the marvelous volunteers.

 

In my view even those who are adamant they don't believe have explored the idea of religion and acknowledged some wonderous things that have happened in their lives to reach that conclusion. So in that way, their soul has been touched. 

 

I worry more about those who 'don't know' or 'don't care' when asked.
