I know for me, personally, I believe in God, just not a lot of what organized religion deems sinful. First of all, I could go to church and ask for forgiveness every day for the rest of my life. But, I'd still go out and swear and drink and practice premarital sex, and, not have a problem with homosexual people. Sorry for being so graphic, and, I'm not saying that I'm an alcoholic or that I sleep with multiple people. But, in my opinion, because I'm not sorry for some of the sins I commit (according to organized religion anyway), I can't consider myself a true Christian. that's my issues with religion. I believe in being a good, honest person. I believe in doing what you can to not hurt others, I believe in doing what you can to help others. I just can't see going to hell because I practiced premarital sex with a man I was in love with. If I can find one church or religion that I can agree 100% with, I'll be all over it. I'll be in the church of that religion, reading the books of that religion, practicing that religion...every day. But, only if I can do it 100%. I can't see calling myself anything if I don't believe everything it teaches. That's my reasons.
