I'll start off by saying that I was raised as a christian and have spent many hours in church growing up. That said, it never sank in. I've lived my entire life as an agnostic person, chasing vauge ideas of some supernatural order to things, and finding myself more confused with each passing attempt. It's strange to me that people can place such faith in popular religions. It seems to me that these religions, in thier conception, as pertaining to thier value, were intended as paths to the need to feel faith, and endurance. These are things we gravitate toward in times of desperation and desire. I don't try to argue with anyone who says a god exist, its when they state that particular gods intentions and rules that I tend to become disconcerted.

Please tell me what experience has led you to what I percieve as such a drastic decision as choosing a popular religion, and if you can, why followers of the others are damned, if you believe them to be.

-this probably belongs under religion, thats up to you.-

-to give reference to the aforementioned, I'm 24 years old, from Boston , MA. My name is Michael O'Malley.
