Well, I'm pretty much a pagan in that I believe in the spiritual power of the earth and all living things(actually it's my only concrete belief). I don't really do spell for fear of scewing up and I really don't feel like I want to have power over....stuff....I'm weird, I know. I share many beliefs with the native americans(probably because I was kinda raised that way...I've had a dreamcatcher since I was 7).

I grew up Christian mostly because that was all I really know about. It never occured to me that there were religions outside of Catholosism, much less Christianity. Then I moved out to Colorado where Catholics were the minority. More or less over the years or being exposed to other religions and ideals, I just found more and more faults with Christianity.

I'm now agnostic, studying paganism. Or at least trying to..If my school work wouldn't get in the way of that. sweatdrop I'm still searching for my religion.

I was raised as a Roman Catholic and I still am Roman Catholic.

I haven't experimented with other religions so it would probably be very easy to call me a sheep blindly following the faith of my parents (it's happened).

But my faith has molded me to be the way I am now. And I'm am very fortunate and blessed to say that....I like myself. I like who I have turned out to be. I feel like I have done good in this world and it's not all my doing. And I think being a Catholic plays a heavy role in that as I am encouraged to serve others. I grew up believing that even the tiniest random acts of kindness really matter and that love is indeed the most powerful force there is. I feel that I have found my niche.

I think about my religion a lot...faaaar more then I talk about it anyway. I'm a bit of an amatuer philosopher too and I ask a lot of questions. I don't usually use conventional prayers. Usually my prayers take the form of me just conversing either out loud when no one can hear or just mentally...kinda like the way children talk to an imaginary friend. But just because I can't find my answers right away only means that I just haven't completed my journey.
