Just like many others, I was raised growing up in the church setting. My family is Baptist, but I do not really consider myself to have a set religion. When I met by boyfriend, I learned that his family is actually Catholic. I have heard mixed views about religions and it seems to me that not one is better than the other. As a child, I did not know or understand the differences between religions, but I do know. I feel that I am able to look at my options, and then make a decision on what religion I would like to be a part of. So many of us follow in the footsteps of others. I’m not saying that it’s not a good idea; however though, I prefer to be independent and make my own decisions and do what is right for me. I don’t go to church nearly as often as I should, but I am slowly working my way back into the scene. I feel that I question so many things about God that I don’t really know what the truth is, and I don’t think that anyone else does either. We are supposed to believe in a God that performs great miracles, but also casts tragedies upon us. I wonder a lot of the time why bad things happen. It is almost like you have to give yourself a constant reminder that God is present to keep moving on. After a long period of soul searching, reading the Bible, and talking with friends and family members, I believe in God. I hope that when I die I go to heaven, because I don’t really like the idea of eternal punishment. I know that I have not always made the best decisions, but I can’t say that I have really done anything that bad to deserve eternal punishment in hell. I wish there were more answers to my many questions, but there are not. Whether or not there is actually a God is unknown to many of us. However though, it doesn’t cause harm to believe. All we have to go on is hope. Either way, you’re not losing anything by believing in God. If anything, you are gaining so much more because you are trying to live a better life that would make God happy.
