My mom raise us of a God fearing person,when we are kids together with the rest of my brother we are trained to always go to church every sunday and never forget to give thanks to all the blessings we've receive everyday. Before, we just go with the flow, I mean we just follow our mothers command. Now that we are matured and have own kids I learned to understand why our mom did that training. It helps me to be strong for holding the faith unto HIM. inspite of the trials and problems I encountered I handle it with lesser worries because I know the Lord helping me. I can rate my belief from 0 to 10, I belong to 8%. How about you?

I'm thankful to my parents for raising me the way they did to be a spiritually minded person focusing on my relationship with God throughout my life. These things are very important to me and I know that it will help me in raising my children. There are so many different thoughts and feelings out there but I'm very convinced of God's existence and his help in my life.

Faith? I don't know how I would rate it.
I read the daily readings and their explanations every day. I pray many times in a day. I attend mass and novena. I reflect with what I read in the Bible.
And I know I love Him. It's not just out of obligation that I do these things. It's a must part of one person's life. That's what I have in my heart and it's true. It helps and guides us in our daily lives and keeps teaching us how to get closer to Him and get to know Him better because He is our loving Father. And it helps us be strong when we encounter problems. We'll stop blaming Him for things happening and we'll realize that He's not a punishing God but as I said, our loving Father.

I've always found it interesting that the religious types who believe they are good refer to themselves as God-fearing and believe it is a good thing. Always focused on the battle of good and evil, separating man-kind.
I, on the other hand, see the scale with fear on one side and love on the other. I choose love. Fear is not welcome in my heart.
I hold no belief in a higher being, however the beliefs I do have are very strong, though also very flexible. Namaste.

I can rate as 95%, I am a believer.
There are things that I can only be a hundred percent when proved right, but either way I leave my mind wide open to new questions always. I think open minded people gets more wise and inteligent because we analyse, think, seek, do research I think it's a great exercise for the brain!

I don't know why people spend the rest of their lives fearing god. Aren't we supposed to learn from our mistakes, grow up and be responsible for what happens. Everything that is coming into your life is because of you.
I left the church a few months ago to focus on nature and my beliefs about this higher being. I am not going to go into details, but my faith is based on many things and I belong to 10%
