Le Républicain Catholique
I use to be just Catholic just in name, but now I really believe in it. My parents are Catholic, but they don't really believe in it.
I'm a die hard Atheist.
Both Parents are atheist... at least mostly...
But all my grandparents were christians.
Yes I've changed my mind.Originally posted by boann
have you ever changed your mind about what you believe?
i mean totally and completly ......
and have you done this more than once ?
do you have the same religion as your parents?
That should worry you. If you never question your faith, how do you know it is well founded, and not just what you have been programmed with since childhood?Originally posted by Immortal
No, I have never questioned my faith.
And you said that about someone who now calls themselves an agnostic. Someone who didn't say any of the things you attribute to them.I find it immensely ironic when athiests say this. They press the religious to "leave me alone" and "keep your religion to yourself". Yet in the same sentence they attack the faithful asking "how can you believe this" or "that is a load of bull". I don't press my beliefs on others, yet athiests are more then willing to SHOVE their non-beliefs down my throat.

I've often wondered if I'm wasting my time clinging to the beliefs of Jehovah's witnesses. But every time I really stop and think about it, I realize how empty other philosophies are, and how blatantly hypocritical most other faiths are, and think to myself,
'Well, at least the JWs practice what they preach. Keep them in sight, they seem to know where they're going.'
Honestly, the idea of there not being a god at all is frankly ludicrous. To me, anyway. If you can say it with a straight face, more power to you, knock yerself out. I've seen the commercials, read the cereal box sides, and checked out the website, and I'm not even remotely convinced. Y'all atheists are not going to sell me that one anytime soon. A universe without God makes almost as much sense to me as chili woithout cornbread.
Those are my opinions, FWIW, and everybody's got some.

What I believe has certainly evolved. I don't remember ever doing a philosophical 180, but I've had some high-speed curves.Originally posted by boann

Well, never a flip-flop, but I've had a few jarring revisions....and have you done this more than once ?
My parents were never really locked in to one religion. They've drifted, from Luthern to Methodist and a few others. I've drifted further, but I actually feel more secure from exploration.do you have the same religion as your parents?
