Religious

My mom would kill me for this, but I've lost that sense of belief in religion. Don't get me wrong, I believe in God, that there is a God, that a supreme being is responsible for all creation, but I just don't think I'm fully convinced that Christianity is the truth.

I've long stopped attending Sunday Masses. I haven't received Communion in years. However, I still pray every so often. Maybe it's the new age that brought this about but I just can't be completely convinced that an organization of faith that was built by men, with its practices created by men, and beliefs and teachings crafted and interpreted by men to be completely divine. Although many claim that it takes faith to believe, I have to wonder if after centuries of Christianity passing through the hands and ideas of men, would it not be possible, and highly probable, that it has long been tainted of "humanity"?

The Church has a long list of "sins" of their own, and probably a longer list of secrets, so I can't help but doubt that Christianity is a lot more human than one should think. It's just that it has been instilled in my beliefs for a good part of my childhood that I can't help but stick with some of the practices/ideas/traditions/beliefs.

What's this got to do with anything? Well, it's almost Christmas and I've got my yearly Mass to attend. So judge me for being a hypocrite, but I never said I completely denied religion anyway. Sometimes, I think having religion keeps half of the world's population sane, and the other half insane.
