I don't. I was raised Catholic because of my Mom, at around age 14 we could make our own decision. Both of my sisters did the same thing. My Father a retired Earth scientist has always been an atheist. My first day in catechism, which I believe was in fourth grade. The teacher started telling the story of Noah's Ark. Even at that age I thought this is a bunch of bullshit!  My Father never ever influenced me and I didn't know about his beliefs until 16-17 years old. My folks are both 88 and are Highschool sweethearts and have been married 69 years. My Father has always supported her on everything. I doesn't bother me that People practice religion. It's just extremely upsetting of the devious side of it. Alway's wondered how many members feel the same.
Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...

Not all can be trusted some are child molesters & crooks only wanting your money. In point of fact you are like me in that you believe God rather than believe in God.

I was raised catholic also so I understand what a bad first experience about religion you had. Catholic is a joke, it has nothing to do with Jesus or God. Find a good church that preaches the Bible, your life literally depends on it. Too not believe in God is foolish.

Yes, I absolutely believe in God, and I don’t push my beliefs on anyone, but I can’t see how a man can not believe in a higher power and believe we are only on this earth by chance.

It's not hard to believe in God. It just depends on how widely you define God. Taken to one extreme, you can define God as the sum total of the laws of physics or even as existence itself. At the other extreme you can believe there is a little man-like "thing" up above us who listens to our prayers and grants those wishes, punishes those that are bad, rewards those that are good, decides to creates things, intervenes with our daily lives. It just depends where you draw the line and say that is God.

Or you can be content to know that God is, and leave all the rest to the clowns that wish to control and force capitulation to their 'way'.
