Who Do 'you Have Faith In?

Day 35: Your opinion on religion.

Personally, I don't have a religion, but I do believe that there is some sort of higher power(s) lurking around. I've never liked the idea that I had to follow certain rules in religions just to say you believe in a god or gods, or in anything at all really. I find religions a bit too suffocating that way.

Why do I need to abstain from certain foods for lessons passed down through generations, when diabetes already has me abstaining from certain foods. Why do I need to abstain from using contraceptives when AIDS is among one of the diseases that can be passed on the easiest through intercourse?

I do feel that religions mostly tell followers to be good - which is good when some people are lost in life.

In the end, it's what you have faith in. If you think believe in "what goes around comes around" then maybe a religion believing in karma will be it. Or if you believe that the world is created through evolution, there just might be a bunch of other believers like you.

As for me, I believe in a few different things, all made up of different ideas found in different religions. In the end, it's what I believe in, and since there's nothing out there that is similar 100%, I don't have a religion - but then again, I probably won't bother following all the rules if there was one. I rather just go with the flow and do what I think is right.
