What does it mean to you?, ... Options

[orgasm]

What's your religion and what does it mean to you, personally? It's not a debate... it's just your personal relationship with your faith. Or lack of religion, whatever. How does it relate to you? No fighting, arguing, whatsoever.


I'm a Christian and I see God as my comfort. Whenever I'm upset and don't have anybody to go to, I know he's there and it calms me. He's like a friend that's always there for me and when I have nobody to turn to, I know I can turn to him because he loves me unconditionally.

I'm not usually this sentimental, but this morning I got into the fifth huge fight with my mother and it resulted in her kicking me out of the house. Again. And I'm driving and crying because I feel like I'm just this worthless... thing... and I turn on the radio to the Christian station and they're singing about how God is always there and never gives up on us and at that moment I had to pull over and pray, which is something that I haven't done in what seems like months.

I guess it's just comforting to know that he's the one that will never turn his back on me. My parents, my friends... they can all reject me at any time they wont, but he's the one that sticks around.

That's how I view my religion and my relationship with God.

My parents are Hindus, and I can't say my relationship with Hinduism is the best. I tried to believe in God, and I even explored different religions. However, even with all the praying and faith I tried to have in God, nothing came out of it, and I see no reason to believe in one.
