Religious Debate Easter is coming... My friend K invited us to her community center's Easter egg hunt this Sunday. We have no idea what were going to do on Easter day though. We should go to Church. The other day, Hubby and I were discussing religion. We never accomplish anything through these discussions though.

I'm catholic, born and raised (a cradle Catholic I believe it's called.) Hubby, on the other hand, wasn't really raised with any religion in particular. So he's so skeptical of everything. He admitted he believes in God, but he still questions him. He wants proof. "How can you believe in your religion?" he asked.

"I just do."

"But hasn't the Church changed a lot of things?"

"Yes."

"Then how can you believe in that!?!"

"I just do," and my answer always frustrates him. I can't explain it to him. Even though I haven't been to Church in over a year, I still just believe. It's part of who I am, engrained into my soul, my beliefs, and it won't change. I know, because at one point I wasn't sure if I wanted to be Catholic anymore, and visited another church with a friend. I found out I couldn't change. I was still Catholic. It's who I am.

However, I'm a horrible example of a Catholic. I don't go to Church like I should, my marriage is still not recognized by the Church (so in Their eyes, I'm currently living in sin), my daughter still isn't baptized yet, I don't condemn gay people to hell (it's not my place to judge), and the list would probably go on and on if I was to continue sitting here and thinking about examples. So, strict Catholics would probably say that I'm not Catholic at all. But I'm not worried about what they think... they aren't the ones who live my life and they aren't the ones who will decide my fate when the day comes...  ¶ 11:13 AM
