Hi!
I have been in a self argument with myself for years over this .....
I personally was brought up in a strong Catholic home ..went to private school...and yea was in a lot of trouble most of the time..(abhi wont believe me on this) I think I spent one whole school year in the priest library on my knees in prayer all day long ...he ask if i learned anything and i replied how to talk to air ... ...yea maybe a smart elic answer maybe not ..but if you ask me to this day ..if i learned anything ..i would reply the same way ... I did not understand the deepness the heart felt ..nor did i feel that anyone anything was out there listening ...so where are my beliefs ... hmmm good question ..............is what you believe the right way ...another one ..if its in your heart yaar then you follow your heart ...you believe what is right for you as long as you are not cramming your believes down my throat i have no problems. By cramming your religion down my throat i am talking ...saying and shoving a bible in my face saying jesus is the answer..........or telling me to stick my head to the ground and call god up .....or blowing yourself up to get my attention... naaa i look at ya like a big dummy then cuz those ways dont work with me ... On belief net they have a quiz ..called (i think its called anyway) What faith are you. I took it about a year ago..im 100% Hindu...hmm what do i know of the faith ..not alot ..willing to learn yes ..maybe ..dont know ..as long as there is not a man n front of the church saying pay your dues the church needs you or whatever it is ...
actually i prefer my big tree...and meditation .. am i sure its god am talking to ..no maybe its not god maybe its a nature helper that helps me through this part of life ..who knows maybe im just crazy and should be locked up...but look at it this way under that tree i find my peace ..my happy spot and i can hold that for a moment and clear my thoughts ...
if u dont know where u believe or where u belong ...look for a big tree and learn to meditate ..at lease some peace will enlighten ur life too

Hugs
Deborah
