i just got through watching the omen, and during that movie, many religions were shown: christianty, satanism, other pagan religions, etc.
also my friend told me about his friend who is a jehovah's witness and some of their stuff got me thinking.
i was raised methodist christian in my home but turned my back on faith about a year ago. too many rules, inconsistancies, hypocrites, and it was all just very overwhelming, so i quit. and even now that i've given up on religion, i can't get it out of my head. its like i've been brainwashed. i'm not asking someone to give me back my faith, or to even lecture me.
what i'm asking is what do YOU believe? are you christian? satanist? wiccan? anything at all? please answer my question with why you believe in what you believe, and how exactly it works. thanks in advance :) (oh, and i don't judge. so even if you've made up some weird thing where you worship hotdogs, i won't mind) (link)

Hi,
I've been raised in a family where no religion has been imposed.My mother, has no clue about the religious customs of my culture..and I take after her.
I don't worship hotdogs..yet.Simply put..I just don't worship.Honestly, I don't think you can ever say who/what 'god' is and categorize it.I believe that religion is a method of social control.A form of societal bonding-a basis for communities.But over the years ,I think, religion has become dogmatic and rigid.And as a result, the core of religion is missing:FAITH.You can not live without faith.Whether it be faith in a higher power, or yourself, or the people/things around you-it is a necessity.
At it's core I think religion and 'god' acts as a reassurance.That there is something/someone looking out for me,caring about me.
But that's just my beliefs.It's perfectly okay if you believe in any religion-all have similarities.That's the funny thing about life.
(I'm sorry if this was like a lecture...I have a tendency of lecturing,or so I'm told.)
