Yeap, I go to church every Saturday (I keep the Sabbath) and my friends say I'm "uber" religious, though I completely disagree! I just try to keep God's word and His commands to the very best of my power. That shouldn't make me uber religious! Lol.

I'm Christian. But I do things very different from the way most Christians do. Examples...I keep Saturday instead of Sunday (we're to keep the Sabbath), I keep the 10 commandments. I tithe (10% of my all my earnings) I don't eat unclean meats (pork, lobster, shrimp, etcetera) I don't keep none of the world's holidays (except Thanksgiving and 4th of July I guess), the bible has taught me the proper Holy Days I should be keeping.
Most people would think I'm backwards, but well...I don't care, because my God does say his children are the little flock. His church isn't a huge, big, popular one - so though it's very hard sometimes to be a Christian, I wouldn't have it any other way! :)

If it helps any, God inspired the men (and two women! Lol) who wrote the bible. It's described as God himself whispering in their ears. If it's in there, it's because God wanted it there, you don't have to be scared of the bible because man wrote it.
There's tons of translations of course, so keep in mind the the Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew and the New Testament in Greek. So for example if I'm confused by a word in my bible translation, I look for the actual intended meaning from either the Hebrew or Greek translations and voila! Concordances and lexicons help loads, I find!

Yeah, I go to church every Sunday with my family. I could say we're religious but not to the point of not enjoying what life has to offer.
We go to movies, parties and celebrations, we do normal stuff.
But we keep our religion in tact, but we don't spend too much time in church or organizations.
We pray the 3 o'clock prayer every 3pm. We do the Angelus every 6pm. We pray the family rosary every Sunday.
Basically, we do things as a family. Prayer and religion bundled with a family is always a great way to keep the bond together.

I don't go to church anymore... I'm not a fan of organized religion.
