I don't go to church.
Why not?
I guess I have an open mind to theories and peoples religions but I'm just not convinced. I just described agnosticism, didn't I? Well, I'm in a catholic school but that is only because of complications with where I was going. I don't dismiss religion and if I did believe in God or some higher entity, I guess I still wouldn't go to church anyway. One: it's just too depressing. Two: I'm just a lazy person. Three: I don't believe that churches are any different to praying at home to be honest. I understand that it's a holy place but still.
Have you ever been forced to go?
Yeah, I have. I had to go with school when I was moving into Year 10. It was a pretty dull experience with hymns that I refused to sing and when holy communion came, I crossed my arms to show that I didn't want that "bread"... Yeah, I didn't really enjoy it but really, how can you enjoy a place which funerals and depressing stories in the Bible occur. I sound like I have no idea what I'm on about but that's what I believe
Do you believe in Heaven and Hell?
I'd love to be able to say I do. You need some reassurance when a loved one dies and I'd love to know that a person is being treated well and moves on when they die but I don't. I know. It's kind of being told that Santa doesn't exist. Your heart sinks at first but you accept it and move it. I suppose people crave that reassurance though and even if they aren't Christian, they need to know that they can rest easy after a love one dies. I'm just not one of those people. I accept that they're gone and that's that. If I find out there is a Heaven, feel free to send me negative rep.
