Me and my boyfriend have very different beliefs when it comes to religion! He is Catholic and I am Non-Denomination Christian! He thinks us Christians know NOTHING about God or anything else! As far as I am concerned, as long as you believe and confess that Jesus died for you, and give being a good person, and doing God's work your best effort, you're doing okay for yourself! That's not to say that you can go out and murder your neighbor as soon as you get through with being saved (even though you might want to, it's just NOT right...DON'T do it!!! LoL!) and all will be forgiven, not even close! BUT, I do believe that he will make it to Heaven when all is said and done! Even though I do not agree with him praying to La Virgen de Guadalupe, nor do I believe that all of these candles being burned constantly will awnser any prayers any quicker, or keep us any safer than we are without them, actually I believe leaving candles burning while sleeping is rather dangerous, but I do whatever I can to respect his beliefs!
So why is it then that he cannot do the same for me? It seems that many of these guys when they find out I am not Catholic look at me as if I am "El Diablo" in the flesh!!!! I try to read the Bible (when I remember, NOT as often as I should!), and I pray to God in Jesus' name, I do my best to be a decent person, and help others out whenever possible! I guess the funniest thing to me is that, although they seem to be more involved in their religion than I am, that is exactly why I personally feel that I have a closer relationship with God than they think I do...I am NOT a religious person, I have a very strong faith in God, and Jesus, and the Trinity as a whole! And it is my belief that having that faith is much more importanté, than having a statue of Mary in your front yard or burning a candle!!!
