can you still say you belong to a religion/cult if you don't practice?  email this discussion to a friend?

It does not matter what religion it is, this is a general question.
Things happen in life, some things take you far from your beliefs and practices, in time, I've started practicing less, now actually celebrating just once per year when the're should be much much more. I think how disappointed my Gods are with me, I'm ashamed of that, but maybe not enough because I still don't celebrate enough and ignore religious celebrations. I think if I wanted, I'd find time for that. Don't know if I still can call myself of my religion.

Hi paleorainy

If you elaborate you feelings that you can't adjoin yourself to religious celebration you should not be regraded yourself. Why you ashamed yourself? you can't Ambrose yourself due to your insufficient time or you lake of religious faith? It is important to be more faithful to self than to faith on religious belief. I am little antagonist. I think my responds may not helpful to you. But just I can say that you need not to be worried yourself.

Can you be so sure that God is disappointed in you???? Believing isn't important to God. Life is about learning and growing as people. If you are doing lots of learning,growing, and teaching others, God is very happy with you!!!! Be who you must! It's a part of the plan!!

My religion gives me much flexibility :) So while I don't practise much, I still belong to this religion. Maybe I love itblink

If asked, I would say that I am a christian. Though I do not go to church, never did baptism or comunion. I went to sunday school once. But I believe there is a god. It is not just a matter of how you practice your faith, just that you have it. I dont think you should worry, organized religious celebrations are just to help those who are unsure get reasured, if you can maintain your belief on your own, good for you.
