145/365 church/religion

I am not a church goer.  I went as a child, and stopped going when I was about twelve.  The sermons were in Latin.  The frankincense and myrrh were too much for my nose and stomach.  I'd have giggle fits, sitting next to a friend.  We weren't reverent at all.
Today I will enter a church if someone is getting married in one.  Ash Wednesday, if I get around to it, and Palm Sunday, too.  I've gone in a church every now and again to light a candle for someone.
I pray to God.  I like the Native American's idea of the Great Spirit -- it resonates with me.
I have a spirituality that extends further than my Catholic upbringing, though I believe in Christ, and His resurrection.
I don't usually care what religion anybody is, as long as they're decent human beings.  I don't like Bible thumping people, or any fanatics of religion.  Get over yourselves already.
In this neighborhood there are a lot of Muslims, and I'm surprised there aren't more Mosques for them.
