You need to do what feels right for you and to follow your own beliefs and I’m sure the right guy will come. Otherwise you’ll be faking it and that is certainly not attractive.

I was brought up with religion as being central to who I was… parochial schools, church every Sunday… my dad was a pastor. It’s not just a comforting tradition for my family, they really and truly believe what they say they do. And at one time, I did too. Now that I have drawn my own conclusions and have my own set of beliefs, I sometimes find myself as being sort of jealous. Recently I’ve been going through some rough times and my family often comforts me with the fact that God loves me and they keep encouraging me to pray. I understand how they feel, because I have felt it before. And I think if I were going through these circumstances as a believer, I would probably come out of them with an even “stronger” faith. Yet, as you said, I cannot choose who I am and what I believe. I cannot disregard conclusions and beliefs that I have formed simply because at this point in my life it would be more comfortable and convenient to believe something else.

In a sense I also sort of think it’s one of those “the grass is always greener on the other side” deals.

Good post!
