I'm slowly planning my strategy I get the feeling the Pope may be a lil' resistant...

That's why for me it's never a matter where to pray. We all pray to one God. And when I'm in Turkey I go to jami and pray with muslim women, when here, in Russia if I feel like going to church I go there. I can also go to jewish or any other church- I just don't care. I can easily be called as muslim( I don't eat pork. Just because it tastes really awfully and unhealthy), I don't kill, I don't still, I don't cheat and I am not involved in adultry- general & basic " don't-s" for every religion I think. That's my point of view. I don't care wich religion is supposed to be "last" and right and wich religion is supposed to be " first" and also right, I don't care who tells what. Anyways, we all cannot be sure who is right now- when people die they go somewhere and they realise where the truth is. But they cannot come back to tell it to us, right? Nor they can give us a message saying " people! the right religion is this"? for example. So I think that all debates about with religion is right and wich is not are useless. For me it doesn't matter what religion I am. I read all religious books, I sum everything and try to gather common things for all those books. This is supposed to be the very truth, if it's written almost in all books. So that's what my religion is.
What do U guys think on this subject?

These days I find what is done in the name of religion (and has been done) abhorrent but I still think that the great thinkers and do-ers like Jesus Christ and Mohammed said a lot that was worth adherring to. I beieve in the teachings of Christ but am quite happy to think of him as a man. In fact happier to think he may have married, had a family , been an ordinary but extra ordinary human being.
I would say I am a spiritual person who hopes there is a God/Creator but i! am getting increasingly irritated by and dismissive of institutional religion.
