Do You Consider Yourself A Religious Person?

1 Answer

Answer :

It depends what you would consider to be religious. I like to pray and I believe in something much bigger than us humans. I do not think we need to go to mass every single week or even need to show others how much we love God. I think much of certain churches are just like theatrical, like fake, if you know what I mean. What matters is what I feel inside and not what I show others, but I do see more people simply doing things for show. Also charity, some people like to rub on people's faces that they do charity so they feel good about themselves, but if you really want to help you will do it and not have the need to tell anyone or even expect people to be thankful. I believe we need to thank God in our own way and thus answering your question directly I do believe I am religious on my own ways, in a way that I am not fake, in a way that it is pure and genuine.
