I practice Catholicism.  My favorite things about it are the Eucharist (the Risen Jesus!) and devotion to Mary:

http://www.medjugorje.org/rosary.htm

The fifteen promises of Mary to Christians who recite the rosary:

1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary shall receive signal graces.

2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.

3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against h**l, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.

4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.

5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.

6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries, shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God and become worthy of eternal life.

7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church.

8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces; at the moment of death, they shall participate in the merits of the saints in Paradise.

9. I shall deliver from Purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.

10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit high degree of glory in Heaven.

11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.

12. All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.

13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire Celestial Court during their life and at the hour of death.

14. All who recite the Rosary are my sons, and brothers of my only Son, Jesus Christ.

15. Devotion to my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

Our Lady has 117 titles. She selected this title at Fatima: "I am the Lady of the Rosary."

St. Francis de Sales said the greatest method of praying IS- Pray the Rosary.

St. Thomas Aquinas preached 40 straight days in Rome, Italy on just the Hail Mary.

St. John Vianney, patron of priests, was seldom seen without a rosary in his hand.

"The rosary is the scourge of the devil" -- Pope Adrian VI

"The rosary is a treasure of graces" -- Pope Paul V

Padre Pio, the stigmatic priest, said: "The Rosary is THE WEAPON"

Pope Leo XIII wrote 9 encyclicals on the rosary.

Pope John XXIII spoke 38 times about Our Lady and the Rosary. He prayed 15 decades daily.

St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort wrote: "The rosary is the most powerful weapon to touch the Heart of Jesus, Our Redeemer, who so loves His Mother."

God bless!

Answer 9

My favorite part is the votes and getting to tell people what is righteous

My least favorite part is getting caught not following my own idea of righteousness.

I don't need practice, right now I'm top fundie in America.

Answer 10

I prefer not to refer to it as religion. I have a real relationship with my Lord. He give me hope.

The favorite part of being His child is knowing I am never alone. whatever happens I can call on Him and He will be there to help me.

Least favorite part of this relationship is not pleasing my God. I always feel that my life does not measure up. that I could have done better. Not sinned that sin that hurt my heart.

No I do not practice a religion. I practice the relationship of my Lord. And there i a difference in relationship and religion. religion will send you to h**l and a relationship with God will lead you to heaven!!

Answer 13

1-Its emphasis (at least in the traditional interpretations of the major religions) on charity, generosity, and compassion.

2-Its opposition (in many religions) to critical thinking. Many religions rely on dogmatic assertions and in order to be a member in good standing, their adherents often have to possess a high degree of anti-intellectualism and ignorance. Some religions actually promote dogmatic faith in the face of reason and evidence as a virtue.

Answer 18

My favorite is that It brings me close to God and my life is better because of Him. Also I have a great support system and people I can talk to who share the same feelings.

There is nothing I don't like about religion, except for when people who claim to be religious act as hypocrites.

Answer 20

1 - Hate religion

Answer 21

1.  My favorite part about religion is the simple truth that God is my Father and loves me.

2.  My least favorite part about religion is the mystery; although necessary, it's confusing!

3.  I do!  I'm a Catholic!  :)  

Answer 22

1.) The close bonds that can arise from the practice of religion. They do indeed help people through tough times, and I think that is one of the upsides of modern religion.

2.) The constant downfall of modern science. The blind faith in religion is draining our scientific community, many children today lack on science test scores because science is not promoted as it should be. The children of today are our leaders tomorrow. We should encourage the progress of science to its fullest extent. The potential of science is almost limitless.  

3.) No I do not personally practice a religion. I am an atheist, if you wish to call me that, I do not see the need of religion to explain the everyday interactions between us and the world. In other words I do not think religion is necessary to explain the existence of the universe or the every day aspects of life.

Andrew
