My father was Irish Catholic, my mother COE. We kids were raised that we could choose religion (or not) when we were old enough to. My first husband was Jewish, so I converted when I was 23. My now husband is Russian Orthodox but his mother was Presbyterian. Needless to say religion is not widely practiced in our family.

While I have a real problem with God-botherers (my sister is a born again) I have absolutely no problem with those who have faith. Me? I'm too pragmatic to fully believe in a God I cannot see.

Me too.

I have faith, just not for a recognised belief system. It is my own faith and beliefs with which I am comfortable. I was the only one of my siblings to not be Christened and have chosen to never be. We have done the same with our kids (ROMFT is Catholic, but non-practicising). We had a civil marriage ceremony and our funerals will be non-faith based too.

I get annoyed with people who spend most of their lives never going near a Church, then when the time comes to get married/have kids/schools etc, suddenly become Church goers for the duration. To me, it is hypocritical.

Gotta go, taking the boy to Beavers

I did a thread on this a while back, though I did it in Take it Outside, because this sort of thing can get quite heated, and it did.

Was Church of England, in the choir and everything. Now lapsed, but at the back of my mind I still sort of believe in god, though not the full blown Christian one with all the angels etc.

Mind you I don't really believe in the big bang theory- more of the old fashioned steady state universe which expands and contracts etc.
Of course, no one knows how many universes there are. We might just be microbes on the surface of a bacteria in another universe. (sorry if that scale is wrong- I don't claim to be a scientist)

There have been a few over the years. Oddly, they all seem to end up the same way, with the 'devout' atheists, ridiculing anybody who expresses any religious belief.

IIRC it's an exact copy of the text run on the London buses... originally it did say there's no God but the buses refused to run it unless it got changed to 'probably'...

Yep it always ends in tears

.....and it's usually both sides who are as bad as each other as people usually feel strongly in their own belief system
