Hi!

I'm a Roman Catholic on paper, allthough I never really believed in God or any supernatural being. I have always been reluctant to officially leave the Church - im an Austrian, so maybe Catholicism is in my bones or something.

For me being a Christian is more a matter of philosophy than religion. I am convinced the world would be much better a place if everyone lived by the rules that Jesus taught his followers. I try to share what I have, I accept others the way they are, I commit myself for what I think is right. I try to be a good person and the New Testament gives me a set of rules on how to do that.

If other people need some incentive (i.e. eternal live in heaven) to do the right things, thats okay by me, though I suspect its just wishfull thinking. Nonetheless I'll be pleasantly surprised if it all turns out to be true.

So I guess I'm a confused catholic agnostic. Shoot me.
