What are my views on religion?

Religion:

1. a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

To be honest I don't like religion. I used to think that religion was for me. I'd go about trying to put 2 and 2 together to get 4 and I'd never really get it ya know? I was that kid that grew up in the church but wouldn't be able to feel God if he smacked me in the face. My devotional and ritual observances weren't good enough. Reading the bible and going to church didn't change who I was. Sticking to my morals didn't give me fulfillment or drive me to keep living. As much as people think that people like me have received the gift of the spirit by devoting time and effort to master a set of skills or to read a whole book is just wrong. The feeling I have is a gift that is undeserved. The way I see cannot be defined by religion's bounds and those people who were religious were the same people that killed Jesus Christ. So I choose not to identify myself as religious. I don't live my life in a religious fashion either. I do what I do, and I try my best to listen to God. To please Him first. Religion can't tell me what God likes the most from me. Only God tells me. I don't do religion.
