I have had my doubts....

About my faith.....


I used to be Roman Catholic..


But I am done practicing that...


Quite honestly, I really have issues with many of the Roman Catholic Church's teachings...


Who the hell do they think they are?  


Righteous bastards...


And I really do not believe there is only one God...


Buddha seems like an OK higher being to believe in if you so prefer...


So what is my religious preference???


I ask myself this a lot lately...


I use to consider myself Christian....


Until recently...


I started thinking that if I were truly Christian, I would believe in the deity of Jesus....


And I am not sure I do....


I mean I think he was probably a really good guy and all...


And I think I try to live like he taught that we should...


Not because I believe he is God's son...


But because, for the most part, it just seems the right way to live...


Love one another...


Do unto others...


I really have a hard time believing that immaculate conception miracle tho...


On Father's Day, Joseph gets the card...


And not one of those "like a father to me"  cards...


And his dying to save us.....not so sure...


So where does that leave me????


Not a fun person to be in a conversation with about religion, that is for sure...


Believe me, I do not initiate such conversations...


But when someone draws out of me that I no longer practice Catholicism and that I am not quite sure what I believe but I know that I am not interested in any organized religion right now...


And then they gasp at my lack of faith and tell me to read the bible...it's all right there...and they know I will  find my way back to the truth...


I tend to get a lil snippy and have to change the subject really quick before I haul off and ruin the friendship...


So, again, where does that leave me?


I have decided that I am a Cultural Christian...


Just like some of the Founding fathers...


To be honest, until  very recently, I did not realize there was such a thing...


Thank Google for cluing me in...


And helping me understand who I am ...


Gotta love Google...
