I enjoy the fellowship of a church home, and yes I know church is me, but I love study the word with others.

My spiritual life is important. If I turn my life to my God. I have less worry.

with the corona virus, it isn't possible. Otherwise i have a church I love to attend. I grow as a Christian and this strengthens my desire to live that everyday, not just on Sunday.

Looking at our country and world does not suggest we are getting better, kinder, more selfless. Pride and self-interest permeate society.

Community experience, and it never hurts to have some time to reflect on the ways you think or do things. My church is non-creedal, non-judgemental, which is the only kind that would suit me.

It is what keeps me joyful so why wouldn't I?

I find that repetitious participation in religious services keeps me strong in my Catholic faith and better able to weather the challenges of each new day.

Bad experiences when it comes to hypocrites and other judgmental people in religious places.

I'm not religious. I will go to a church for a wedding or a funeral, but religion is not part of my life.

Church people are hypocrites and are very judgmental. It's do as I say not do as I do.

I grew up with religion as a norm. Religions are very hypocritical. I go to weddings and funerals. I don't need a church or a priest to tell me how to worship GOD and Jesus Christ.

I'm a thoroughly rational person so church is somewhere I'd rather not be. But my mother is very elderly and very devout, so before COVID-19 I took to church her every week. Since then no church.

I am a rational thinker, therefore I do not waste hours dedicated to myth.

I wish I did but a good quality emerald is so expensive. Yes, there are "created" emeralds, but unlike diamonds which look great, the created emeralds do not.

To continue my story (this is 3/3), I was very envious when one of my best friends got faux emeralds for her birthday and wore them first. However, I was happy to wear mine anyway. My friends bulled me because I was a "copycat" even tho they all knew I had received mine first. #meangirls!

My parents got me faux emeralds as my first pair of pierced earings and I looked at them in the box until my mom could find the "self-piercing" rings that slowly worked into your ear over a couple of weeks. When I proudly wore my birthstone earings to school my best friends bullied.

My birthstone is Amethyst. I like it. I like the color. But one, I prefer Emeralds. And two, I don't wear jewelry anymore.

No, I have no rubies, and I wept mock tears for my husband's benefit answering this.
