Hmmm, Cheese told me once I was agnostic, so that was my vote. My faith fluctuates here and there. I was baptised Mormon as a kid, but am now the black sheep of my Mormon family. There are times I believe in a supreme being, and I even catch myself praying once in a while, although I have a hard time finishing the prayer with "...in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen" anymore. Usually, my prayers are a quick thanks for the comfortable life I have, and please keep an eye on my kids. I detest organised religion, and see it as purely a power and money grab, but I do not detest the idea of truly believing. Ridiculing people on any end of the religion spectrum puts a bad taste in my mouth.

What is stronger than my belief in some form of God, is a belief in some form of an existence after death. I guess I have my own personal little "ghost story", which was powerful enough, and witnessed by another, which always snaps me back from doubt in that regard. I truly believe there is something after we die, although I have no idea what it is like, or if it is eternal. I truly look forward to finding things like this out one day after dying in my sleep 80 or so years from now.
