I don't normally post in thread like this one but I just have to share and maybe you can tell me what I am because I don't have a clue.
I don't go to church except for Midnight Mass on Dec 24th.
I don't read the bible
I don't give money to churches
I do believe in a higher power, I call him God
I do believe in Heaven
I do pray on a daily basis
I do believe that God hears me and answers my prayers in one way or another
I do try to love thy neighbour (although that's hard sometimes)
I do treat others as I would want to be treated
I do look forward to death because I know I will be reunited with my loved humans and pets again
I do know the ten commandments and try to live by them
I do get more pleasure out of helping others than helping myself
I do believe that all living things are God's creatures and we should look after them
Some background:
My parents are Atheist, but when I was very little my Mother had me baptized just in case I decided to follow religion when I grew older. She explained to me that she did not want me to be embarrassed by not being baptized. Can't quite figure that one out, but oh well.
I came to know God when I was about 7 yrs old and He's been with me ever since. I have no doubt.
So what would you classify me as???
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
