I was brought up Roman Catholic and confirmed. I'm thinking about fine tuning and becoming Orthodox. I spent a year going to a Greek Orthodox church and found it most excellent.

I am also Roman Catholic. Never used to be strict, but now I go to a catholic college.

proud member of the Electric Sky Church!

Loons- I am from your school. I am a practicing and proud Roman Catholic! I usually describe myself as an Irish Catholic.

Jewish.

Jewish, was Bar Mitzvahed, but I'm certainly not that into religion much, I celebrate the holidays with my family, more of a traditional thing than anything. My fiancee is like me in terms of not really caring, and she's Irish Catholic so you can bet that ruffled a few feathers on both sides a long time ago. After 5 years though no one cares anymore.

Roman Catholic, still finding myslef, though.
this is a very deep issue to me.

i'm also 100% Italian, so family is extremely important. I live for the holidays.

i'm gonna stop here because I could go on forever...

I'm RC, always have, and always will since the Jesuits did a hellofa good job teaching it to me in high school.

But hey, ultimately the most important thing about religion is you find the one that works best for you (translation: Yes Virginia, there is no "correct" religion)

Stuff No More- Great post! What Jesuit High School did you attend? There are only 46 of them left in the United States. Jesuits are brilliant teachers!

I attended Xavier High School in New York. Great school! Great memories! All boys (That was tough), Jesuit, and military. ( R.O.T.C.)

I'm Eastern Orthodox, basically that means i have Christmas and Easter a week after the rest of you guys

Serbian Orthodox to be exact

I consider myself to be about 80% Catholic. The other 20% are my own beliefs.

I like blueeyed's answer, and completely agree.

Hell, am I the only schmo (mormon) here? Come on Schmo's, stand up and be counted!!!!

I had a girlfriend that was mormon. Does that count?

I believe that God created man and ever since then, man has been trying to build a box to keep God in.

Religion has been used too often as a means of controlling people, and that's why so many people resent it these days. Look at Ireland and the Middle East for recent examples of what human beings do to each other in the "name of God" and which church is right. Apparently they skipped over the part where Jesus prayed to his Father "Let them be one, just as You and I are One".

I consider myself more of a spiritual person than a "religious" one. If your church works for you, great. I feel much closer to God up in the mountains or on the beach than in some building singing boring songs and passing a plate around.

I don't have any problem with people's religious beliefs as long as they walk their talk and are not hypocrites. Granted we're all human beings and not one is perfect, but there are those who deliberately use "religion" to push hatred and opression and it's those people who will be in for a big shock when they stand before their Creator on judgment day.

Gasp! FORD, we actually agree on something!!! LOL! Seriously, great post, I couldn't agree more. I don't want to be told how to have a relationship with God. I've got one and it's a good one. I'm Catholic but I don't do lent. No real religious significance, it was started to improve the economy of fisherman. Yeah, real deep meaning there!! I just feel going to church is not the only way to have a relationship with God. That's just my belief and I've got nothing against anybody else's.

Man,do I start some great posts or what.http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/wink.gif

Laughing My Ass Off.....

Yeah Many years ago I used to work at a fish n chips place. I tried to get Friday nights off during Lent because every Catholic in town would be eating there that night. It was insane!

But when you think about it.... wasn't the entire church really started by a couple of fishermen? I believe that's what Peter and several of the other disciples did for a living....

I think I'm agnostic...I suppose if I am anything I'm a Unitarian Universalist.

Good thing Van Halenism isn't a religion...we'd all be religious freaks!

Like LOONS and Georgie, I was Roman Catholic first, and Irish Catholic second. http://208.50.7.95/vhlforum/smilies/wink.gif

But those days are over.

I'm still Irish, ( http://208.50.7.95/vhlforum/smilies/biggrin.gif ) but I don't consider myself Catholic.

I don't know if that's a good thing, anymore. http://208.50.7.95/vhlforum/smilies/confused.gif
