I'm not entirely sure what I choose to put my faith in. Religion just seems to be the same for me no matter what the 'path' is, in general terms. All religions seem to promote forgiveness, morals, and beliefs under their guise to move the masses. My mother is still a devout Buddhist, and although I like some of the teachings in Buddhism, I'm not quite sure I believe in reincarnation ( I do however enjoy the teachings of morality and righteousness they try to tie with the belief).
I feel somewhat thankful, not to 'other' those who do face this problem, that my family's religious beliefs have not imposed on my sexuality. Although I can say I am heterosexual, I won't deny that I have had moments of thought where I pondered on my sexuality. I don't think my family's religious belief directly molded their ideals on sexuality.
