My opinion on God.

I go to a Catholic Highschool because I like the school, and I think it's the only descent highschool where I live.
But because I go to a Catholic school, people always ask me "Do you believe in God?"
By the way, I AM baptized Catholic, but only because my grandma told my mom that if I didn't get baptized, that I would go to hell. So my mom got scared and baptized me.
But I never got my first communion or confirmation and all that.
Anyways.
When people ask me if I believe in God, I always say I do.
But to be honest, I don't believe anything in the bible (including the 10 Commandments), Hell, and all that jazz.
I think I can be a good person without being catholic, without attending church every sunday, and be a good person by following what I think is right.
If I just follow the ten commandments, it doesn't make me a good person.
I'd be a good rule follower, but maybe not a good person.
I think what makes a good person is their moral truths, not the bible's.
Don't get me wrong, I think the Bible has good guidelines.
But I'm not going to steal something because the 'Bible' says it's wrong.
I'm going to not steal because I think it's morally wrong
Isn't that a better test of someones character?
And I don't believe in Hell, because I don't believe in Satin.
Well I think that kind of covers my religious beliefs, I don't want to get that far into it.

That is so true, I believe in god but more so not the church. Like I dont think there is anything wrong with being Gay it's love and thats fine, but the church does not. and yes you are very right. It's nice to see someone else that thinks that too

Ally;
thanks for the sweet words on my latest blog! I just finished reading the above and I AGREE! So many times people think they can place us in a box and give us a label, well we are starting to break out of the box and make *religion* what it should have been from the very start- a PERSONAL and individual AFFAIR!

Cheers!!
Kathleen ( also from Ontario;)

The Bible is true and hell is a real place. please don't go there, Let Jesus the saviour save you and show you how real He is and how much he loves you. It is good to have good moral's as long as you are not trying to justify yourself to God, We are justified by faith in the finnished work of Jesus.

Hey ally
Well thanks for the comment you left for me.
I think people hide behind religion sometimes and I'm glad that your putting your true thoughts out there.
I don't judge anyone b/c there is only one judge at the end. Just keep FAITH. Take care.

Curious why you started with this topic...

And, how nice you were able to start in high school. When I was in high school, my classmates and my teachers/priests made me very angry. It was a catholic school...but few if any actually acted catholic or gave a crap about mass. Masses were handled so casually and openly. To some extent, I thought this would ease people's minds and be more open to other faiths. Not so. And, looking at those around me...it was as if they came because they had to and treated it no differently than a school assembly. They further showed their true colors when graduation time came and few if any wanted to sit around and talk/eat at the reception. Instead, they ran out like freed kennel dogs and went to their own parties like it was the Academy Awards. I was so upset.

I share some similar feelings with you. I try to be a good person without following every little rule. But, at the same time, if you claim to know all that is right or wrong...are we not putting our own personal feelings above others? Where is the justice or standard? If we all go by our own standards in all that we do, that is chaos. Anarchy. So, as much as I dont want to be dominated by others' rules...I might be deaf/blind with self-empowerment not to listen to others and only cause more conflict because everyone wants their way. I am not sure which is right. But, I DO try to trust my gut which I believe speaks to a higher power. But, I am still human and capable of error. Have to be able to see the error of our own ways.
