Faith

Do you practice religion? – Wow this question from the Daily Writing prompt is getting into dangerous areas.

No not in the old traditional sense anymore. In my way, yes. I was raised Catholic but I’m no longer a regular practicing Catholic. I have too many issues with that church now.

Faith is an individual thing and I won’t judge others on theirs just as I hope others won’t judge me but unfortunately, that doesn’t always work out that way. I once had a close friend who told me I was going to hell because of the way I thought. He’s no longer a friend.

These televangelist preachers also make me sick. Money is all they are interested in. The same, with some big organized churches. They are businesses. I’m not criticizing the people in these organizations who do the good work of helping others. I’m focusing on greed and preaching one thing and living another life.
