My parents raised me to believe that religion and faith is a choice. They never pressed their views on any of my three siblings or myself regardless of their Roman Catholic upbringings. My own search began with Christianity- I become a Born Again christian in my teens and enjoyed attending a non-denominational church with friends. As I matured and began to educate myself on relifgions from around the world I found my sense of belief began to expand beyond the teachings of the bible.

 I think belief is the most important thing we have in our lives. It is different for everyone and it is also true for everyone. I believe in respect for every one and everything. I believe there is always something to be learned and something to teach.
