I am a Roman Catholic. I do believe strongly in God, and Jesus, but also I have my disagreements with certain aspects of my religion, and have different interpretations, etc. But Im certainly not changing my religion, so dont even try and convert me at my front door.

The Great Sephiroth. I don't need a religon ... I just follow Sephy. After all, he is re-born as a God in FFVII.

Actually, I'm supposed to be Christian (with some other beliefs mixed in there), but it's too fun worshipping Sephy, espcially when I get all obsessed w/ his evil side. My brother tells me I'll be going to hell one day ... but it's all a bit of fun.

I have said this before i am a branch of Judism, Messianic. THerefore, I believe in Christ as my personal Savior, and since My Uncle/Rabbi died, I believe in it evermore and shall to the end of my days

Joshism is also cool

Long ago, I thought:
Does it matter why we exist? Where we came from?
And then I thought:
I dunno where we came from, or why we exist, but is there a reason to care about that? Not really, no. I'm here because thats the way things are. Where we all came from and why we exist doesn't affect my personal life at all, so therefore I don't really care.

Relgions and people's speculations about where we came from may be wrong, or they may be right, but who knows for sure? Although I belive both the big bang theory and evolution a little more then any other religions or speculations, because I feel the evidence for both of them makes more sence and is more tangible, but I could be wrong for all I know.

As for God, there probably is a god, but then, there probably isn't. And if there is one, he/she/it certainly doesn't help any of us in any way (unless he/she/it controls fate - And yes, I belive in fate, but only by what I've experianced). If there is one, they're more likely to watch over us then interfear with our lives. Perhaps we're just one big experiment? Who knows.

Okay, so my life seems pretty pointless, although I don't need a god to live for, or a heaven. . . The reason I keep on living, is for my friends, my family and my pets. And if I ever life for myself, it's to stop me from becomming depressed and insane, and also to keep myself happy. It's all I want from life: To be happy, have as much fun as possible, leave the planet clean for future generations to enjoy (or at least, contribute as little as possible to the destruction of the enviroment), and to try and make other's happy too.

Agnostic's the life for me.

Now for real with me I am a Roman Catholic. And I believe in the holy Eucurist (Comunion) is one of the most important things of my faith. I believe in God and I believe in Jesus Christ as my personal savior.

In my family my uncle was a priest and he has been to this place called Lords where the virgin Mary appeared to these children and blessed the waters. He gave this holy of holyiest of waters to us sealed in a jar in my household. This water is truely blessed by God because one time my mother could not sleep and she was tossing and turning. She drank very little bit of this water and afterwords she slept like a baby. We also have an actual piece or very tiny splinter of wood that came from the actual crusifixtion of Jesus Christ. which is incased in a small cross.

I have doubts about the church because I know in the end times it says in the bible the church would be currupted by the anti christ. and I honestly see that happening in the things that have occured over the years with the new church. I go by the old ways of the Roman Catholic church the way its suppose to be. There use to be a time when the tabernachal the place where they keep the communion actually on the alter. Now they moved it off. Very few old churches are around and I am lucky go to an old church. I still believe in the Eucurist as being the body and blood of Christ.

JEDI would actually be seen as a secualr philosphy...it is still a belief in which was born from a movie and if you would harshly call it a 'cult'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the Roman Catholic Church in Australia still functions in the old traditional way...the tavernacale might not be directly on the alter anymore but it is still in a position of importance...and with the anti-christ corrupting the church, depending on what bible version...it could be seen as a bit more of a fundamentalist concept to it..
