No problems for anyone. I know when Yom Kippur and Hannukah are, and I know when Christmas and Easter are. For Hannukah, my Mom, my brother, and I light the candles, while my dad watches T.V. Sometimes we let them burn all the way out, sometimes we don't. We do not give/recieve presents on the days. For Christmas, we get up around the tree (yes we have one), and give presents. Sometimes, I'd say once a month and a half, my dad makes us all attend church. My mom likes to go, because she enjoys the spirituality and singing. Only my dad goes up and accepts communion. I've never attened synagogue, though I have been to Passover gatherings with family.
The Pope? Well, the Pope's the Pope. I thought the last Pope was a good Pope for acknowledging Jews being killed by Christians, and forgiving those that killed. He was a good Pope because he traveled and stayed in on human affairs. I personally liked how active he was :).
I myself am agnostic. I haven't picked, let alone know if their is a God.
I do have an email address, and you can reach me at matt3605@yahoo.com anytime. Do you have an email address?

I liked how active the old Pope was, rest in peace. I believe, though, that every man and woman will be held accountable for how he or she has treated God's chosen people - the Jews.
Do you believe in Evoloution*? (forgive any spelling errors, I'm too lazy to look them up.) I believe in the six-day Creation. Sure, there are funny little cartoons that make it seven days or something, i.e. - God made horses on the fifth day, and painted the good ones on the sixth. (that's a cute slogan for Paint Horse lovers) But, I still believe in the six-day Creation. How could people - complex, wonderful, quirky as we are - come from some soup? You break it down, and everything came from that single-cell 'soup'.
Some things leave me no doubt as to if there is a God or not. When I hurt my knee in the summer of 2004, I know it was God that kept me from dieing. I should've fallen on my head - on solid rock - after flying about ten or twelve feet! (thank goodness for helmets!) But I did not even fall off that horse. Pretty wild, eh? I have a cousin who is lucky to be alive - and it's only because of His Saving Grace. My cousin, who is now 40-something, was playing on a rope over a lake when he was fourteen or so. The rope snapped and my cousin fell into the lake - and landed on his head. He is paralyzed from his armpits down, and can only move his hands and face a little bit, but he is grateful to be alive. There must be a God. How else would humans be so quirky? I mean, animals are so similar. All of my five horses love to have ear massages - and I have never met a horse that didn't like his ears massaged (and I've met ALOT of horses)But, I know alot of people who don't like massages at all. Some people like rootbeer, some people like Mountain Dew. Some people prefer dark colors, while others look like a rainbow every time they step out of the house. No two people have the EXACT same birthmark in the EXACT same place. People are just too complex to have evolved.
