What is faith?

How does one know what to believe in?

Right or wrong.

Am I sinning as I write?

Am I on the right path?

Some say, religion is a choice,

But is a choice necessary?

Can you not believe, and yet doubt at the same time?

Or must you be sure?

What if there is no existing religion for what you feel is true?

Can you then believe your own ideas,

And yet not be dubbed an athiest?

I believe in God.

I believe in the love He has for me,

And the love that I have for Him.

I believe in heavan and hell.

Although I do not believe that good people,

Who are not baptized, will go to hell.

A good person is good, no matter what religion they believe in.

I am a Catholic.

I am not confirmed.

Do I want to be?

I don't know.

But I feel guilty for wondering.

I am terrified of the idea of hell.

I want to be good, but in today's world, that's not easy.

I don't smoke,

I don't drink,

I don't do drugs.

I have good morals and I respect those around me,

(For the most part).

I cannot be sin free.

I'm not sure that I want to be.

I don't even know what constitutes as a sin,

Aside from the "biggies".

I believe in a higher power.

I also believe in the world around me.

Can the two go together?

Knowing all of the evil that goes on.

Yes, I still believe.

I am blessed in many ways.

How do i show my appreciation?

Prayer? I never learned how.

Is there a set structure for prayer?

I guess, God is always listening,

Even if it's done wrong, you'd get your point across.

I suppose I could go to church every Sunday,

But then we're back to, "what do I believe?".

All that I know to be true is that I am here,

Living a good life,

Because God has made that possible for me.

And so, although it's not much,

For now all I can do to show my gratitude,

Is to simply say Thank-You.
