What religion am I? Is it considered middle of the road?
When someone is blasphemus against God, i get a little upset. For instance, people that claim the devil is their hero. I don't judge them because they have their own beliefs. But I think its a bit much to say that the devil is your hero. Knowing, what the devil is quite capable of. (I grew up in a very strict Catholic home)
But at the same time, I tell my family that I am agnostic. But i don't know if that is really the case. I might believe in God, but I am not sure. SO what religion does that make me?
I am pretty content on living my life the way I am. Not caring about a single religion. But so why do i sometimes feel like I should stick up for God, when I am not even believing in him, right now?

I have explored other churches. I have "asked Jesus to come into my life" even though I think all religions have the same theories. Believe the Christ died on the cross for our sins. THAT is the basic principal. So now that Jesus is officially in my heart, I can keep on living my life, not really believing because I know that on the day I die, no matter how sinful I am, i will still go to heaven because I asked Jesus to come into my life....? That's effing ridiculous. Give me a break. Just cuz you say some words and you mean it at the time, it doesn't mean **** when you're about to die, and you don't feel the same as you did when you said the words!!!! My ideal is: what's the point in believing in something, if you're just afraid of what might happen, if you don't?

You're Agnostic. You feel bad when someone says certain things because you've grown up around religion. It hurts when others make fun of things sensitive to you, even if you don't believe in it anymore.
You may grow out of it. I sort of have. I'm content as well. Some days I'll go between believing God may be there to saying he isn't there at all. I'm right in the middle.
You are an Agnostic at the moment. If you believe in God but do not say which one to believe in you are a Theist. The following is a proof that a God exists. Please read it.
PROOF OF THE EXISTENCE OF A GOD You have heard of the Big Bang Theory of the creation of the universe in which the universe is alleged to have had a beginning 13.7 billion years ago. Since that point in time atoms, stars, galaxies, all elements more complex than hydrogen and helium, planets and all living creatures have been formed. If we assume that the Big Bang theory is correct, then what is the likelihood that from the moment of the Big Bang forward, humans would exist if this only occurred through random chance.
One can determine the answer by taking each event that must occur (say atoms forming) and then determining the probability of that event occurring (say 1 in 100,000). After determining each required event and its probability, you simply multiply the probabilities times each other to arrive at the likelihood of life, as we know it, occurring after the Big Bang without a God.
Sir Roger Penrose, a famous Oxford mathematical physicist and a close personal friend of Stephen Hawking, calculated the likelihood of our universe coming into existence and giving us life at one followed by 123 zeros. To put this into perspective, there are substantially fewer atoms in the whole universe today then one followed by 123 zeros.
(The scientifically agreed to number of atoms in the universe is one followed by 70 zeros). To say the possibility of humans being created after the Big Bang by random chance is very, very, very remote, would be an understatement.
Said another way, in a more down to earth analogy, Sir Fred Hoyle, an English astronomer and author of the Steady State Theory of the universe, who died in 2001, said: "the chance that higher life forms might have emerged in this way [random chance] is comparable with the chance that a tornado sweeping through a junk-yard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the materials therein."
The two British scientists make the point that some supernatural being, which most of us would call God, made or guided the development of humans and anyone who believes otherwise (that God does not exist) is ignoring the facts and is being led by the adage: "anything is definitely possible (god doesn't exist), even if it is infinitely impossible." Does God exist, beyond any shadow of any doubt or had to exist at some earlier point in time.
(This proof does not prove Jesus Christ is the Son of God or there is an after-life where people go to after death. It only proves there was or is a God out there, which should make everyone at least a Deist).
