[livejournal.com profile] mind_the_muse: What is your take on religion?

My mother was a rather religious person. She tried to somehow get me to follow that same path, but I never took it. Or, rather, I started to yet I quickly came to the conclusion that there is no real point to it. I didn't see the point of praying, really. I don't believe there is a being that decides who goes to Heaven, or who goes to Hell. And I do not believe there is some 'path' that one must follow to reach salvation, or that our fate is necessarily written on some sort of divine book.

Even if I don't believe any of those things, however, I don't judge those who do. Just as I have reasons to not get involved in religion, others do and I respect that. I can try to see things from their perspective, to understand, but for myself I always come to the same conclusion. I simply do not believe.
