The Only Ones Staring At The Sun…Yes We’re the Communist Sun God Worshippers

[Babydoll]

I do believe we did say that.

I'm in Minneapolis now for school, but originally from the southeastern part of the state, a small town called La Crescent. Can't say I'm too sad to have moved though.

I lived in MN for 4 years. What school do you go to in the cities?

I was actually brought up Christian but never believed it. It was something I sort of had to do.

Was there a certain point when you realized it wasn't for you, or was your heart never in it?

What are the chances, I was baptized methodist too But only to please my grandparents - neither of my parents are religious, I don't think anyone in my family is anymore actually.

I'm pretty sure that was the reason me and my sisters were all baptized Methodist too. My mom's parents are still quite religious. My dad's parents still consider themselves believers, but don't go to church anymore.

Oh, really? Where did you live? I go to the U.

I have quite a few friends who are agnostic and atheists. What the atheists say is that they don't believe there can be ONE power. And have a problem with the fact that religion centers around one being or one power.

I went to Concordia up in Moorhead. The coldest place on earth I have some friends who go to the U, too. Are you on facebook?

Heart was never into it. I never wanted to go to church but mom is Christian so I wanted to be nice and go with her. Then I just stopped going and admitted I was an atheist.

My problem lies more with organized religion than anything else. I do believe that there is something, I just don't know what, and I don't think I should have to choose religious sides.

Sounds like MN to me!

Of course I'm on Facebook, what good college student isn't?

I've never heard that reason before.

I added you


Also.. when I first moved here, (to the US) I admit I did have doubts about my religion, about everything I had been brought up to believe after having conversations like these with friends. But now over the past couple years, my faith is strengthened. If anything, it' stronger than ever before. I know God exists. It's inexplicably linked - if you have faith, he exists and if he exists for you, you have faith

Each time I pray or anything, I feel very comforted.

Friendship confirmed.

That's awesome! I have the utmost respect for people who can follow a religion, and I find religions extremely fascinating, but it's just not for me.

I'm exactly the same - I really loathe the people who feel it is their absolute goal in life to discredit all religions and those who believe. Okay, if people are doing hurtful things in the name of their religion (i.e those far right christian groups that can be very dangerous) then that needs to be stopped, but I think having an unstinting belief is something to be proud of. Like I said before, I'm jealous of people that can believe
