I like fairies (thus why I am wearing fairy wings in the picture). Good grammar rocks, too. It doesn't have to be perfect but I get frustrated when people completely disregard it. I like every color except pink. I hate the wind. Sometimes, I carry around a little teddy bear I found at an antique store. His name is Robert. I dress very eccentrically. It's not unusual for me to wear a prairie dress one day and a Mod dress (think Austin powers) the next. I don't dye my hair, or wear much make-up. I think it's sad that no one puts any emphasis on natural beauty anymore. I think it's a good thing to be open and educated about sex and other issues that are considered taboo. I have a hard time seeing where homophobics are coming from.
Basically, I'm just some weird teenager in Arizona. If I haven't scared you off already, feel free to drop me a line. -Danielle

THIS IS NOT A QUESTION OF FAITH
I have considered myself asnostic for a few years now. I have faith more in the people I know and everyone, then some silly religion with it's own agenda. I also believe in a greater god, but mostly for comfort, to hate, and to thank. Anywho, this coming fall I am going to have to make a decision of getting confirmed by the Catholic Church. I am not so sure that I should do it. I know that it would make my mom happy, but I feel like I am just flat out disrespecting Catholicism to follow their ways even though I don't believe it. I don't really care if I am found out, I am not like an in-your-face religion hater, but still, it would kill my mom. So, my question is, should go through with it for my mom, or not?
THIS IS NOT A QUESTION OF FAITH, I DON'T BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY, PLEASE TO NOT TELL ME OF THE GLORIES OF HEAVAN, JESUS, AND WHAT NOT (link)

I was baptised Catholic when I was small and had my first communion and all of that, so I had the choice to be confirmed. I, like you, am not a huge fan of organized religion. I started to feel that way sometime soon after I went into my adolescence.
I would say to not bother doing it. You'd basically be living a lie. By letting yourself get confirmed, you're wasting your time and everyone else whose involved's time if you simply just don't believe in Catholicism. It's an insult to yourself to go against your beliefs like that, and it's an insult to them whether they are aware or not.
Just try to be gentle about it with your mom. Sit her down and tell her that you know it would make her really happy if you did this, but that your heart just isn't in it and you feel you are old enough to decide for yourself now. Hopefully she'll understand.
