Ashirr-Leigh Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 I was, I suppose, brought up as a Catholic, but not a practising Catholic, not now anyway. I've been baptised and confirmed, made my Communion etc.. as have my whole family but we don't go to church anymore.
MarMar Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 I've always had this fascination for catholisism If Iweren't pagan, I'd be one (yes, big constrasts, I know )
Ashirr-Leigh Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 At times, I suppose it doesn't really mean much to me to be a Catholic. Well, it adds Colette somewhere into my name! But then, when I think about it, it actually does, even if I don't go to church and properly practise it.
MarMar Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 Yeah, I guess it'll always be a prt of you, just like me being braught up by parents who wanted christinaity out of schoo etc, it has affected me - and I'm even engaged to a Christian
Mez83 Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 I went to a very religious Presbetarian high school. We had church 3 times a week and twice a year we had a compulsary church service on a sunday night.
MarMar Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 I have to get to bed; 11:17pm here. Nice talking to you all
Claire Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 I'm staying in... all night... bliss! Student blife is finally starting to take it's toll... have had between 2 and 5 hours sleep the past few nights... I wouldn't have missed the nights out for the world (I'm now in full agreement that days as a student are the best days of your life), but it hasn't exactly done me the world of good *looks into mirror* *shudders* Night in with the law textbooks it is, then... Been seriously neglecting those babies recently... As for the religion thing - I'm Christian (CoE)... I'm not a hardcore religionist (a word?) and only attend church a couple of times a year, but I believe - which, I guess, is the main thing.
Ashirr-Leigh Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 Both my primary school and high school are Catholic but they're not exclusively Catholic so it's not like we're forced to attend lots of services and things. The majority (only by a little though) are probably Catholic but there are alot of Muslims and other religions. We have services only on special saint days and things. But yeah, like Claire, the main thing is that I believe something. I don't believe in alot of the Catholic church's teachings though. For example.. my RE teacher tries to teach my class that if your husband abuses you then you must stay with him because your marriage is binding under the Lord. I also don't agree with their rules on contraception - their teachings are killing alot of people in Africa. Anyhoo.. that's my wee rant over!
Dazacoulls Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 I dont think i have a religion... More Atheioust (Good knows how i spell that - I can barely say it... A THEE IOUS, Well you know) basically i dont go to church - But i do believe there's something BUT i dont think you can name it God or anything its just there!!! Where we go when we die - Who care's i try not to think about it!!!
