Does this mean that you do believe in God?

I am an agnostic. I have no basis for belief and no
basis to deny. Sorry if that's a bit ambiguous, but
that's where I rest.

And is this God the same God that you are referring to now the same
God, as mentioned and quoted in this statement, "the
Judeo-Christian
God is presented in the Bible and that's what we have to work
with"?

The Judeo-Christian God is the one I am discussing, to the exclusion
of others. There are so many gods out there, with different
histories
and forms that we have to narrow the field to one I am more or less
familiar with.

Again very fair, understanding that you are more or less familiar with
teaching about tne Judeo-Christian God, that as an agnostic you believe
exist, but which you do not believe you can personally know, what are
you familiar with the teaching about the Trinity? I am not asking
whether you prescribe to the teaching, just whether you are familiar
with that teaching. Again I apollogize if I am nitpicking, but I don't
want to make any unwarrated assumptions about you, your understanding,
and what you believe about the Judeo=Christian God you say exists. TnT

Is this Catholic or Protestant?

My only experience growing up with church, I went to Catholic Church
with a friend when I was probably 5 or 6. I remember setting with a
bunch of children, and we were instructed to set with our hands on the
hand rail in front of us. Which I figure something was going to happen
to cause us to fall off the bench, and we had to hold on so as to not
fall all the way to the floor.

I was curious to know what was going on, as the play began, and I
thought it was like the theatre! I ask my friend Scott. I then found
out why we held on to the rail. It made it a whole lot easier for that
lady in the funny looking black dress, to hit my hands with a ruler.
Then she hit me again cause I started to cry.

That was the last time I went to church, for over 10 years. I hope that
you did not get hit too many times in 11 years! TnT
