Interesting. I don't know a whole lot about Catholicism as my immediate family are non-denominational. My grandmother attended Mass every Sunday though so I have been to one before and after she passed away I inherited a rosary that nobody else seemed to want. It doesn't have beads though. It is all woven string instead.

I'm not really sure where I stand on Christianity anymore. I'm kind of a hopeful agnostic I guess. I want to believe God is real but I have my doubts there's anyone out there.

Ever hear of Pascal's Wager? The basic idea is that you have more to lose (MUCH more!) from refusing to believe a God who turns out to be real, than from believing a God who is not real.

So why not take this chance to be saved, just in case? :)

I am well aware of Pascal's Wager, yes.
I grew up in a Christian family. I have been baptized and all that. Faith is a complex thing. What I have recently become aware of is how flimsy my belief really was. 'Just in case', as you say, is no longer good enough for me. I'm looking for a better reason.

When I was in college one of my friends told me that they strengthened their faith by questioning it. It took me a while to understand that by this they meant that they addressed those areas where their belief was flimsy through questions. The act of questioning helped them find answers, or at least, better answers than what they had before. I've done the same myself and even though there are many times when my own faith feels weak and nothing more than a smouldering wick, Christ does not quench a smouldering wick. Love has drawn me back, and the desire to be with a God who was willing to die for me even when I was in sin. The answers are there even if at times it seems we'll never find them.

God Bless you on your journey.

This is amazing. They should introduce kids to the Rosary with this!

I was just shown this after making a silly April Fools joke, and I have to say that this is awesome. I was raised and confirmed a Catholic when I was a kid, but haven't been to church in 24 years. My faith isn't really there. But, that's something else entirely. Seeing this reminded me of the Sundays going to Church that my Grandmother would have us say the Rosery. Like, this really brought up some old, old memories. Man.
