Has anyone ever gone looking for religion?

[lunavix]

I've never been a religious person as such, but I have always been interested in it. Religion was always my favourite subject at school - I loved learning about it, even if I didn't quite believe all of it - and I have always been fascinated by people with strong religious belief, dh's best friend is a devout Christian, and I've had close friends who are pagans (following different paths.)

Since ds was born I've felt really drawn to finding something else in life. Something to believe in, really. I was adamant ds was Christened - even if I don't believe in it, what if I'm wrong!!! - but now I feel like I really need to find a path. The trouble is, I just don't feel convinced by anything, terrible as that sounds.

Has anyone else felt like this, or read anything inspirational that might help?

Eeek isn't the church of christian science that lot that the likes of Tom Cruise etc belong to.. that take a huge chunk of your salary??! (They'd be out of luck with me, LOL!)

Actually.. and I will stop dominating the thread in a second.. .. got to wash up!! But just had a better look at your list Gwen. Couldn't be more different than mine, but - correct me if I'm wrong here - whilst you and I may not be exactly singing from the same hymn sheet, our beliefs are not that different are they?!

I am still an active member of a Christian Anglican C of E church.. as are you (organist no less! )... and whilst I confess to a few 'issues' here and there, I don't sit there and think 'what bollocks this is!'

Best not let my Roman Catholic buddy see my list!! He would be forced to go immediately to confession for fraternization with such a person I feel! ! (No offence intended to RCs )

don´t know about the salary part SJ but Yes to the rest of your 6:12:19 PM post.

It was, if I recall rightly no. 2 on my list!

SJ - I will have a look at those thanks

DH did the quiz today and came out as Unitarian Universalism (isn't that just a nice way of saying you don't really believe in anything?)

Oh good grief, I'm a mormon!!

I always thought I had one foot in evangelical protestants and one in the Baptist!

stop laughing Gwen.. and whoever has seen me link to these a million times before..

hehehehehehehehehehe

100% Reform Jew, 98% Orthodox. Strange, as I had no religious upbringing at all. My mother is Jewish, but in denial (which means I am Jewish too, according to Jewish law). Odd.
