I've been agnostic ever since high school. Religion is something that I always saw people use as a crutch for tough situations. It makes me wish I was religious at times. When my best friend had died I had the honor of being the paul bearer at his funeral. The funeral was very catholic (even though he wasn't religious). Everyone was talking about how he was in a better place within heaven. The reason I took his death so hard is because I wasn't able to have this sort of comfort. I truly believe that I will never see him again. It would be nice to believe.
