Religion

My elementary school years were spent in a French Catholic school. During this time I learned about God who is our creator and Jesus his son who was sent from heaven for our sins. I learn God's rules the Ten Commandments. Even as a child these rules made allot of sense to me .You might say I became a fan of Jesus and Gods rules. They became my measuring stick for all other rules that didn't agree with these 10 rules. I was thought that you pray to God for help and protection. For some reason the message I got from reading about Jesus is he was my friend and I could talk to him when I want to just like I would talk to a friend I played with .Of course I never talked out loud to Jesus when there were people around because as best I was told " you don't talk to Jesus " "you pray to him". When an adult would recite a rule to me that conflicted with the 10 commandments I would question that adult. This was the beginning of my tenacity in my faith. Later on in life I left that faith and became a Jehovah's Witness. There also I came to realize that organize religion makes its own rules. My continuing to question there interpretation of the Bible eventually led to my being shun from this organization. My faith is what kept me strong through a bad marriage when I lost all faith my marriage followed not long after.
