Well, I was born and raised Catholic, so I've been Catholic for 18 years, and for about 17 of them I was "Mass every week! No Swearing!Be a good little boy! Don't hate people!" and all that jazz, but in the last year I've come to question a few things, though I do still believe in being an essentially good person and not hurting others and such. It's more just that the Church seems to have become more like a brainwashing, monotonous chant of all the same prayers every weekend that's made me question why I bother going - I don't get anything spiritual out of it, and most of it seems like prayer for the sake of prayer...
I do believe in there being God, it's just some of the Church's specifics I want to question...
So, really, I guess I am religious, just not necessarily Catholicly... more just a vague Christian... if that makes any sense.
