Nov. 1st, 2002 03:10 pm1. Were you raised in a particular religious faith?
Yes, I was "raised" Roman Catholic. I put raised in quiotes because although I was baptized into the Church, and went to Catholic school from Kindergarten through 12th grade, my family did not attend church regularly, and the faith was not actively followed in my home. I was not confirmed.
2. Do you still practice that faith? Why or why not?
No, I don't. Mostly because I just never felt it - I had no faith, and without faith, following rules I don't agree with made little sense.
3. What do you think happens after death?
I don't know. If I had to guess, I think I'd hope for re-incarnation.
4. What is your favorite religious ritual (participating in or just observing)?
I love Christmas services, in every denomination I've ever attended. I think it's mostly because after 13 years of Catholic school I'm very very attached to the music. I'd love a family tradition of going to midnight mass on Christmas Eve together before descending into the frenzy of Christmas morning.
5. Do you believe people are basically good?
I believe that the vast majority of people are basically good. The small percentage that aren't get far more than their fair share of the press, making it look like there's more of them than there actually is.
