Sometimes, I wished I've gotten into a religion. It's a bit late now though, since I'm not really into the idea of committing myself into one. 

I've been a Buddhist, although it's because of the family rather than my own choice. It's a little useless, because till now, I don't know the significance of the religion. I only know the main figure in Buddhism is Buddha, and most of what I learnt in Buddhism was from my Secondary 1 History lessons! Now, when my family goes to temple to pray, I'd stay outside and get a suntan. And the only time I'd step into one is during Qingming, where great-grandma's urn is. 

I've been more knowledgeable about Catholic Church and Christianity (Okay, I know they're the same thing, but I also know they're not the same thing. Don't ask.). I've been to Convent school and Catholic churches. I've been through masses and prayers. I've been to Christian churches. I've been through services. I've been through aggressive relatives and friends convincing me to go to church and become a Christians (not all, but you gotta admit some are really aggressive in pursuing). But nevertheless, I have friends who are Christians too. Oh, and I've read parts of the Bible too.

So overall, I know more about Christianity than Buddhism. But then again, I never got right into them. There was the momentary impulsive plunge into them at the lowest points of my life, but after that, I just couldn't handle the commitment. But because Christianity has always been around me, maybe, just maybe, it may catch up to me. It's already a habit for me to recite the Lord's Prayer when I'm afraid, or just simply need to pray.
