I believe in God, I'm Catholic.

My belief doesn't strengthen nor weaken no matter what is going on in my life.

If I'm struggling I pray for help, if I'm winning I give thanks.

My belief in God all comes down to a faith I have- it doesn't really move and hasn't done since I was around 14/15.

Something that resonated with me was during the Paralympics- they did a survey for the members of Team GB who had been in an accident which had resulted in some kind of disability, the question was simple- "are you lucky or unlucky"- every single one said lucky. Then they asked the athletes who were born with a disability- again, "lucky".

I think this shows that in this world, with all the suffering, there is no suffering that joy, confidence and hope can't overwhelm.

I also don't really give a monkeys what anyone believes as long as they're happy, comfortable in their beliefs and are equipped with humanity and a decent moral code my friend put "jedi" as his religion on the 2011 census like many here in the UK did...

He sacrificed his son for us, if that isn't putting us before himself, what else is. He sacrificed his son because we couldn't follow his rules.

Why? I didn't kill one of my kids because the others didn't follow the rules.

Stick a fork in it people. We're done. The religious debate guideline is very clear.

Go softly my sweet friend. You will always be a part of who I am.
