Religious Views On The Fringe

My parents have discovered a different religion since then, one even closer to God, and me not being religious drives a wedge between us. I believe that if I hadn’t gone to catholic school, there would be a possibility of me being religious, as I would have been taught a different mentality than Catholicism regarding religion.

I was born to a Christian mother I had 7 brothers and sisters we wasn’t perfect but we all loved the Lord. I went to church every time the door was open I loved Sunday school and loved to sing the good ole songs that Baptist Churches sing. I am now 52 and my mind has never changed I love the Lord with all my heart and soul he has helped me so much I wouldn’t be here now if it wasn’t for him.

I was brought up Christian and believed in on only one God. A different god for love, war, and a variety of other things fascinated me.

Both of my parents descend from a long line of devout Catholics and as a result, religion played an important part in my life My sisters, and

People that are on the fringe of society means that they are not apart of the popular group within society and they are not always accepted for who they are. People such as the homeless, poor, women and the LGBTQ+ community are all on the fringe of society. They are marginalised and they always have to prove themselves to other people.

My Christian faith is the reason I have accomplished what I have and why I am who I am today. A lot of my activities that I am involved in or have been involved in were centered on my faith. My faith has helped me through high school and given me purpose as well as strength to reach the high goals I have set for myself. God has been with me through difficult decisions and situations, guiding me along the way. I usually base my decisions on what I feel would be right by God.

Religion provides believers a specific set of beliefs and practices that give meaning to their lives. These beliefs and practices in society are known as ‘worldviews’, depending on which society you were born into determines on how you view the world. Immanent and Transcendent religious worldviews are the two types of view that differentiate in understanding and in the beliefs of the supernatural dimension.

I grew up in a family devoted to the Roman Catholic (RC) faith. We, my brothers and sisters, have taught and disciplined in this faith to become good Christians. My family faithfully come to church every Sunday, followed the RC customs and traditions, prayed the rosary every night, and served in the church by joining the choir and other church activities. We have taught that by serving God this way, we could merit eternal life from Him.

I was and raised in a Christian home with my personal foundation being built on Christ. My parents are pastors and have been involved with youth and children ministry as long as I can remember. Which has given me opportunity to discover and use my gifts and talents for Him within the church.

Throughout my adolescence, I regularly attended the Lutheran church and was enrolled in a Christian school until the age of twelve. I grew up in a middle class neighbor located in a Suburban in Florida near downtown Tampa area. God had completely blessed this only child, who was raised in a stable household with two, loving parents. Most importantly, my Christian parents based every aspect of their lives in devotion to Christ and mentoring the youths in the community. It was important for them to serve others and live a life that was pleasing to God and according the Christian principles that are inscribed in the Holy Bible. My parents viewed each individual as important and often reminded me to seek positive potential in everyone.

If you asked me eight years ago what my religion was I would probably stare blank at you in complete silence . I would end up saying that is am a catholics , why? Honestly because growing up we also went to the neighbor hood church so I was raised off Catholicism but I have my doubt's.

Growing up, my parents taught me the basic of Roman Catholicism because it was the right thing to do according to our ancestors. We weren 't religious, but rather lived by a good moral code and felt spiritual in our family. Church and

My parents have been avid Christians since a few years before I was born. Both had been Catholic as children, and both stopped going for different reasons. After my

I grew up in a Catholic family and believed the teachings of the Catholic Church insofar as they agreed with my reading of the Bible. As a teenager, Jesus became real to me at summer camp; I was introduced to the Charismatic movement. While at college God began calling me to Christian leadership, culminating in my engagement to Kevin.

I was born and raised with Christian values. My parents took my family and I to church every Sunday and I went to youth group every Friday night until I graduated high school. I always loved going to church and I believed in what I was taught- that Jesus Christ came and died on the cross for my sins. Growing up though I really started to doubt this idea. There were so many problems in my life with my family and I always wondered where God was and why He wasn’t saving the day. Because I was so rooted in my faith I felt bad questioning God, then I told myself that God doesn’t have to save the day, He’s not my genie in a bottle. Years later after I started college I abandoned my faith and I decided religion was a bunch of crap. Point is I was always conflicted.
