[quote=Anonymous]I haven't lost my faith but it has transformed. I was raised Catholic and definitely have the fear of doing something wrong/guilt thing in me but I cannot reconcile that with a loving god or loving force. I’ve really come to the conclusion that some of us are more biologically wired for a belief in a higher power. To believe or feel that there is something greater than ourselves. I think humankind has tried to explain that or express that feeling through various religions AND human kind has also used religion to try to control people. All I know is that at different times of my life I have felt, truly felt that there was something greater and the feeling felt like the most calming, peaceful, love.  I am also someone who can walk into a room and read it and figure out what’s going on without anyone uttering a word. I have a very strong sense of intuition and am extremely sensitive to my environment. Honestly, I think that has primed me to believe in god in a sense but also realize that much of the stories cannot be taken literally.
