Happy to be Religious

I had religion rammed down my neck all of my childhood and teenage years, being educated at a convent. It worked the opposite, I am a non believer and wish to stay that way.

I have a 97 year old who is very religious but that is about the only thing that she has not tried to change in my life. Her religious belief I think is keeping her alive.

I have some very religious family and friends, but I am not. I am very happy that you and they are happy - as long as no-one tries to convert me!

I don't but at least one of my closest friends quite often has conversations with me about his personal relationship with God. I have also appreciated the kindness of believers who have said prayers for me or members of my family in times of trouble.

In my life I have found that people shy away and are a little afraid to state that they believe in GOD, almost as if it were a bad thing.

I would just like to say that I do believe in GOD and very much believe in the power of prayer.

My life has been enriched by my beliefs and am very happy to be a Religious personsmile
