It's disgusting that so many people on here are using their religion as a way to justify their bigotry and small-mindedness. I'm a Christian, and not one of the fundamentalist, you'll-go-to-hell, self-righteous idiots represent what religion is. Sorry for the… miscommunication.

Personally, I believe morals come from your upbringing, not religion. I know plenty of people who are open-minded, accepting people who come from religious backgrounds, and I know people who are bigoted but don't have particularly religious backgrounds. So I don't understand how people can blame that bigotry on their beliefs. It doesn't promote what your faith supposedly promotes, and it doesn't make your church particularly appealing to join either. I agree it's disgusting. They should grow a pair and just admit they don't like it for whatever reason, rather than hiding behind a blanket of religion.
(Note faith and religion mean to different things to me. Religion being the mass interpretation of the Bible's teaching - often promoting specific ideas, and in my opinion, bigotries - and faith being belief in the Bible solely by your own interpretation.)

Who has been the most important person in your life?

In the last couple of months it's been either my nan, my mum, or the Clan.
