So I'm just a pick and chooser....but it's my faith, my religion and I think people need to do what's right for them (as long as it's not harming others).
Why choose THIS religion? I was raised with it, I'm comfortable with it, I find a lot of beauty in it and I love it - celebrating mass, the ritual, there is comfort in it - and meaning and it fills me with love and optimism - which is hard for me to come by in this world....it's just right for me.

ok. I, myself like midnight mass. but mainly cause you get to sing Xmas songs.
I didn't mean to offend you,(
) these are basically
questions I have for people who are religious, religion being taken from the bible. But it seems from talking to people, they were usually raised with the religion, so maybe haven't thought about these questions, or if they have, it somehow came out to be logical and ok to them. Which is what i'm trying to understand.
Since i am approaching these questions from a non-faith based standpoint, i come to different conclusions about the Bible, god, etc.
