What your born as

the problem is so few people are willing to accept people as they are they always want to "improve" them...

I am also an atheist by choice and I'm also a catholic by birth. My parents sent me to religion school so i can do my communion and confirmation. Throughout my childhood, I wasn't sure if i believed in him or the religion fully but i was afraid to say anything because my mom always said that God knows everything and will punish you if you sin so i thought not believing in him was a sin. Gradually, i learned about having an opinion and i learned more about controversies (how religion interferes with science or common sense) and the world. My mom doesn't like the fact that i chose to be an atheist but respects my decision. She also doesn't like the fact that I said I'll never baptize my children because I want he or she to learn about different religions before choosing to live by one. She feels that my child should be catholic because I am a catholic by birth. I totally agree that one should be able to chose their own religion or whatever religion they believe in rather than be forced into one.

although im a trainee medium i dont believe in god, i do believe in a divine spirit and that for me is angels,im not a really good girl,never was ive got to big a mouth for that, but i am well behaved in church etc,we have my mum in laws funeral on monday,and she is roman catholic i will take part in it all cos its what she believes in and cos i love her i am willing to eat bread,drink wine etc,i took part in her last rites also out of love and respect for her,it may sound funny,but i am willing to follow some ones faith for that time out of love for that person alone.

People tend to be condor. They tend to shout at what they see or sense. People such at that should be put in an apiary and be bedaub. Anyways because ur grandparents where cathlics and some cathlics pass theough generations like ours. They dont think anything has change. Maybe if u carried a banner around that will help alot. "I am an Athiest", it should say...LOl

same thing happened with my step brother his grand mother was all in to that. so she belive you had to belive in what she belive in to get into this *heven* and now my brother is seen as one and called one even though he is your black soul evil type of beliveing person

My mother was one religion (lapsed), my father is another (although a non-believer). I don't adhere to either of their traditional religions. I am what I am by choice.
