Find a Religion

I had gotten a comment on my previous entry on this goal, but it seem that the person who left it has since deleted their account. This is a shame, since I wanted to thank that person for their thoughts regarding Christianity.

Christianity is definitely on the table for me. I have managed to get over my prejudices against that faith that were based on the strange denominational cold war that went on in our house when I was a child. (I am sure interfaith marriages work for a lot of people, but not so much in our house when I was growing up—and my parents were just different kinds of Christians. What would the tension have been like if they’d been completely different religions? Eep!)

I am actually very conservative on a lot of things, so traditional monotheistic faiths are really ok with me.

I went to a new doctor today, and as part of the process of getting integrated into their system, I was asked about religion. Twice. The first time, I was asked by the lady who was putting my information into the computer. She didn’t ask what religion I was, but rather if I wanted to declare one. I declined, but I felt bad about it. The second time was on a medical history form, and I just left it blank.

I would love to declare a religion. I believe in God, after all, and I’d like to have a faith community to belong to. I am just afraid that if I pick one and put it on a form like that, I’ll flake out after a while and have to change my answer. (That’s the awful but honest truth of the matter.)

I am so tired of wandering.
