Religion

the last few days, i spent time with my family and doing things that are close to our hearts.

it is interesting, as i have experienced so much of God over the past week/s that i forget where my roots were. I was even prepared to go to the camp echo and sunday service. however, i had other family things to do, and i was not feeling well today, so i decided against it.

On saturday, i went to the temple with my relatives (father's side) to pay respects to my grand and great-grand parents. I lost both my grandparents to SARS 2 years back, and i still am reminded of them everytime i go to temple. It was during this saturday when i got some time to chat with my mom and discuss things that i faced this week. I guess that the main thing on my mind was religion. after the church camp and the talk i had with nicholas, i just kept thinking about God and my relationship with him.

i am quite firm in my postion in religion. yet i realise i am eing firm in a very shaky beleif of religion. my mom manged to clear all of that out by discussing it with me.

My family leans to the christian religion more than any other religion. yet there are things we do not totally agree with and hence we do not go to church. i just want to say that whatever i say here i do not mean to offend anyone, just showing my opinions, kay'! ^-^. anyway, i learnt much about my household. my mom told me respected different religions at different points of her life, and hence she keeps an open mind to all religions. the thing that interested me the most was during her stay in England. She attended a certain "gethering", of sorts, known as "Agnostics Anonymous". they were a group that gathered to discuss about God and religion.

agnostic:
1. One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God.
2. One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true

i realise that if i were to say i had a religion, i would say that i am an agnostic. i found it quite funny when my mom told me that when she went for agnostic anonymous, they would start a prayer with, "Dear God, if you exist..." that was particularly interesting, for me, as i said the same thing when i prayed to God tellingh im it was not my time to convert.

well, i realise that this is my life. i keep my interest to family. i am very family orientated. no matter what it is, i treasure my parents, relatives, and yes, even my little brother. and this goes out ot my second family too. i do treasure them most, and my religion is a personal relationship with God, no one can/should tell me what i should decide to beleive. yeah.
