I was baptized and raised Roman Catholic. My mom is a spiritual Catholic, who has studied many other religions but maintains Catholicism is the way to go.

In high school, I went to a few different churches - Baptist, Non-denominational, etc. In college, I learned about all the OTHER religions of the world. After all that studying, my summary is found on two bumper stickers: God is too big to fit into one religion. God bless the whole world, no exceptions.

I don't attend church regularly, though it pleases my mother to no end to have us kids show up for Easter and Christmas mass, so I do that. The closest thing I have to a static "place of worship" is nature, I guess.

It sounds like you hang out with a lot of nonbelievers who blame god. Why not ask them yourself?

I guess you didn't get Jays' post.

Let's try to respect that, if anything.

Feel free to PM!

I say "Oh God!" and do not believe in God. I do not say it to blame anyone for anything, but more as an expression of exasperation, like "Holy smokes!". My mom used to say it a lot. To me it is just a saying and since I grew up with it and was used to it, I tend to say it a lot.

Oh the other side, I also say "G-d damnit" when really it is just an expression of frustration and has nothing to do with God.

I smell Twinkies.
