Well, yes I would; I don't consider myself a religious person even though my mother drug me to church until I was 18(Presbyterian) and still have the Bible they presented me when they decided I was religious enough to belong to the Church. I believe in a higher power, but remain clueless about the gentleman known as God. I think my religion lies within my soul and dictates my behavior, I try not to judge unless I have walked in your shoes. I try to be understanding and treat people as I want to be treated. I don't always succeed and subsequently, think I am a sub-standard human being who still has a lot to learn about life.
I wouldn't change my "spirit" if it required beheading and killing others, if I bullied others into believing as I believe, or if I had to change the basic core of who I am....I must admit I have done my share of praying, sometimes for serious stuff, but more often I pray to win the lotto, reverse my illness, find Prince Charming, etc. In the end, if there is a God, I think you will be judged on how you treated others, not for how many days you spent in Church. And I believe he or she will forgive me for all the times I have been such a Bitch... I stood up last night and leg had gone to sleep so I fell and twisted ankle so now I can't walk and I have a swollen and bruised foot. Better due to ice pack, elevation, and ace bandage, but dang it hurt.....So, no guess wouldn't change religion to stay alive cuz you have to be true to yourself, but if I had to change to a Methodist, guess that would be o.k. if it would save my life.
