And, my whole research into religions and beliefs is because I am yet to find a religion that I believe everything about. I don't go to church because I'm not sorry for having sex outside of marriage, simple as that. So, I'm constantly trying to learn about other options, because until I can believe something 100% and practice it daily, I won't be a part of it. I can't be lukewarm. that's why I don't consider myself really anything, besides spiritual, at this point.
I wasn't sorry for that either... because some part of me knew that Josh was going to be the guy I married. And he's the only person I've ever been with in that way. I guess that's why I felt okay with it. Nothing I was necessarily PROUD of, but at the same time I am/was.

I'm just about the same way as you though. I am very happy in my religion (Missouri Synod Lutheran, more "strict" than Evangelical Lutheran) but I still have questions. For me though, I just accept that with anything with as big a spectrum as religion has, I will always have questions and that I like what I know of it, it's a good foundation for who I am, and that there will always be things in this world I don't quite "get". So long as I keep on being true to myself, I'll be happy. I'm a good person with strong convictions and morals and I owe a lot of that to my upbringing in the church. I don't go to church as often as I should (it's an hour from my house) but it doesn't mean I don't practice what I've learned over the years.

Anyway, that's my little take on religion for me. For everyone else, like I said, whatever floats your boat. I don't judge others because I don't like being judged myself.
