Holy crap, that's a Babylonian god! First come first served. Unlike those blaspheming heritics... you know, Christians.

Doesn't matter what you believe. Whatever's true will be true and we find out when we die.
On the oter hand I practice black magic as a hobby and I can tell you for a fact there are spirits and demons and gods.

Lately I've seen people who have religion, but they tend to be very judgmental and miss out on a lot of experiences.

Undecided.
I could write a ten page essay on this, but in this case, I think less is more.

Recently, I've tried taking stock of how I feel about religion in general. One local pastor describes people like me as "Irreligious" I believe in God, but I feel utterly no calling to go to church on Sundays, even though I was raised as a Lutheran. I guess part of that is the hypocrisy I see in church, the other is the general feeling of discomfort I felt the last time I attended.
I'll admit, there is a certain degree of laziness involved. Getting up on Sunday morning, putting on a suit to go sit and sing hymns, listen to a sermon and the like just does not seem important to me, so I don't do it. Honestly, I haven't attended regularly in the last 20 years or so, with a couple bursts here and there.
Actually, I haven't set foot in a church except for a funeral since 9/11. Even then I just sat respectfully and did not actively participate.

Catholic. I'm altar server like every Sunday because other people don't show up. Not real thrilled with the Pope lately, but I'm like Joan of Arc. Like the religion, don't like the leaders/"government" (not to the point of being burned at the stake though.)

Doesn't matter what you believe. Whatever's true will be true and we find out when we die. On the oter hand I practice black magic as a hobby and I can tell you for a fact there are spirits and demons and gods. Certainly there are spirits and such, my religion does not deny that. And as described in the islamic book, it is forbidden to contact them, they will only lead you down a darker path. And I believe someone said along the lines of: 'it doesn't matter what we do now, we will find out when we die...' Religion is a way of life that helps you stay aware of what will happen in the afterlife; ignoring the truth is not a wise approach to the test in which we're living.

St. Joan of Arc was, in fact, a faithful Catholic. The trial at which she was burnt was politically motivated. (My fave part of the trail: She was denied confession, so at the trial, when asked to recite the Our Father, she said that if she was heard in confession, she'd say it willingly. ) Her family appealed to the Pope, and she was officially exonerated. Just out of curiosity, why aren't you "real thrilled with the Pope lately."

Didn't the Pope make some dodgy comments about Islam? ignoring the truth is not a wise approach to the test in which we're living. Who's to say what's the truth?

I think anybody who says their own belief is the one truth, is of a mentally short stature.

Just out of curiosity, why aren't you "real thrilled with the Pope lately." Pope's just being real conservative lately. It annoys me. Like antagonizing the Muslims (please, any one with half a brain should have known that statement would make people mad) and now the whole thing saying that Catholicism is the only way to get to Heaven and that all other Chrisitan sects are wrong. That really annoys me. (I know that's been a standing sentiment, but why make a public statement about it?) Plus how they're still being rigid about women not being allowed to be priests. Pre-confermation I asked a priest about it, and he said 1)Priest represents Jesus at the altar and Jesus was a man 2) It's tradition. And I know Joan was a faithful catholic. But she's also the patron saint of those opposed to church authority.
