i was raised catholic.. i'm kind of exploring right now.. to me religion is very personal and i definitely have a close connection with God.. but as for catholicism, i'm finding that as i grow older i'm learning more about myself and my personal beliefs and not relying so much on the guidelines set by the religion by which i was raised.

so i'd say i'm a cross between catholic and the last choice

I am pretty confused at the moment.. actually I have been confused for a while. I'm just not sure. I believe in God.. but sometimes i'm not sure.

Couldn't have said that better myself.  I've got the same story, almost word for word.

An agnostic is someone who isn't sure about his or her beleifs in gods or a God.  Someone who is debating with themselves, or is working on making a decision or is just plain old saying "I don't have the answers so I won't worry about it".

Someone who believes in God but isn't a member of any organized religion might have a very strong set of beliefs, they just don't matchup with any of the sects.

Edit:  I never understood the notion of a PROUD athiest.  Why would you be PROUD of NOT believing in something?  Why take pride in going contrary to the beliefs of others?  Because without religion, there is no athiesm.  Athiesm is not a belief system in and of itself.  It is the OPPOSITE position of someone who DOES believe in God.

Perhaps the correct thing to say is your are a PROUD Rationalist.  Or a proud believer in science.  Declaring yourself a PROUD athiest is just begging to start an argument.  Be proud of the things you DO believe, not the things you DON'T believe.

I think i was taught a slightly different definition: that there will never be enough proof either way, so they don't really care. lol, actually that is kind of the same...

From Miriam...

ag·nos·tic    ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (g-nstk) n.  

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

So being proud to believe that a belief in God is irrational and/or unscientific is any less argumentative than simply being proud not to believe in God? ;-)
