Did a one year stint in Hebrew school. I slipped past the guards in the third grade and never looked back.

So that explains the clown costume. You're still on the lam.:D

You know what Krusty's last name was don't ya :p

I'm a...uh...let's see, they meet Sundays.....Um,. they got those funny looking little penguins running around...believe in God but you might never find a bible in the house...er...umm....Oh yeah! Catholic.

Baptised and raised Methodist. But, I just never really took to organized religion per se, although I don't really consider myself an Atheist, or an Agnostic. I'm pretty sure there is a God, and I believe that there is an afterlife, but I just don't feel the need to hang out with the church-going crowd.

Hopefully, that made sense to you.

Dude, the important thing is that it makes sense to you.

Exact same here.

Now that we've got a good amount of postings, the follow-up question to this, is....do you believe that your faith, past, present, or lack thereof, has created any of your political views, and if so how? And how is it different from others?

Well........Sometimes I observe that certain people seem to be lured in a certain direction by politicians claiming to be religious. Usually to the right. I've had people tell me they vote Republican because "They reflect my Christian values" or one woman told me the GOP "...is so Biblical". I don't see how, but they seem to think so. To me Republicans seem to follow the Orwellian "War is Peace, Love is Hate, Ignorance is Strength" mantra, more than anything that comes from the Bible. Heck, they could even add "Greed is Good" to the mantra. Uh, er....Didn't they do that years ago?

But, that's just my opinion.

It may be one of the major factors in my rejection of the Republican party, as currently constituted. Any party that sucks up to Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Bob Jones, Ralph Reed and other such hateful morons has disqualified themselves from my consideration. Perhaps a bit harsh on my part, but so be it.
