I know what you mean. I believe what I was raised to believe, and I haven't gone against that, but I'm also not exactly a practicing Methodist either. I'm one who kinda picks and chooses LOL.

So many are born and raised as mormons, but then decided they don't believe or want to live by the guidelines of the faith. I think it's one thing to be baptized in the LDS faith and attend church occasionally, but it's an entirely different thing to actually live by the religion. Its kind of sad the percentage in our faith that do live by the standards set forth.

I think every religion has that LOL There are so many Muslims my age that are totally ignoring half the rules and living their lives the way they want because they want to be just like everybody else. I can understand that...to a point. I just don't understand how, when you're doing everything in total opposition to what a religion says, you can still say that you practice it...
Maybe it's just me, but I feel like, if you do it knowingly, it's just hypocritical.

Well, I think all modern religions are based on being nice to your fellow man, so as long as we all have that in common, anything else we choose to believe in our own right is not a big deal. :)

That's kind of like saying you're registered in a class, but you only go when you want.
It's silly.
But I can understand how people pick and choose, especially living in different envirnments and things like that.
