I was born and raised Catholic I went to what is called CCD (whch teaches kids about catholisism) all through elementary school. I went to a Catholic high school and loved it. At some point in there though I began to question certain practices and beliefs that the church has. The biggest being if babies should be baptisd for the reason of origional sin. In college I have been exposed to many other religions which has caused me to question even farther. I have pretty much stopped going to church because I don't know what to believe anymore. I don't see how any one religion is right and I am not sure how to decide what is right for me. I recently attended a non catholic church and hated it because I had no clue what was going on. Does religion hold a key to a certain happiness? I don't feel any different now compared to when I did go to church because I didn't get anything out of it because I didn't want to be there.
