I am a Christian with no denomination, I feel organized religion is not right for me (i used to be a Lutheran but the presecence of an organized synod and politics drove me away) I dont believe its wrong to attend church, it just want for me. Unlike some, I dont like having a candy coated religion, I strongly believe that there is a heaven that people go to when they die, but I also believe in a state of eternal damnation referred to as "hell". To me, the Devil is just as real as God and Jesus, and that the Devil should not be taken lightly. One thing that I did take away from being a Lutheran was the idea that we are saved by God's grace alone. My faith is private, even when I did go to church, I never sang or prayed loudly.

(oh yeah, since somebody else brought it up, I never believed in Santa Clause, but prior to 5yrs old, I was convinced there was an Easter Bunny)
