I don't go to church, but I like to consider myself religious. I choose to not go to church because I've never really liked the atmosphere. Maybe it's the types of churches I went to that turned me off from going to "organized places of worship", but I haven't found one that I particularly enjoyed after trying out quite a few. I gave up on that endeavor, and basically just worship in my own way. I think it's more personal doing that anyway, and I know that I enjoy it a lot more.

When I was younger, there was a time that I was indeed forced to go, but one day I just got fed up with it, and said that I wasn't going anymore. I took a lot of crap from my parents for doing that, but I didn't care. I wasn't comfortable in the church we used to go to, and was much happier just worshiping in my own way.

As for the Heaven and Hell thing: I like to think that there's an afterlife, and according to the things I believe, the place we go to will be either Heaven or Hell, so yeah, I do believe in them. As for how one is Heaven-bound, I've heard tons of interpretations of how one ultimately "goes to Heaven", so I don't really know how one does it. Sound confusing? Probably. But I don't really dwell on the thought. Honestly, I live for life I have now, and try to be the best I can be while I'm on this Earth while still keeping in with my own interpretation of "faith".
