Is it possible to become religious if you're not naturally inclined to be that way?

I was technically speaking raised protestant, though my dad was kind of neckbeardy with his atheism and I believe that's why I spent my teenage years being the same way, but now that I'm older I've thought of converting to catholism.

Is it possible to MAKE yourself believe in a god if you already don't?

It's stupid to make yourself believe in anything. Make believe is fantasy, self delusion - there is no point to it.

Consider everything you know about the universe and the way you think things work, then draw your own conclusions.

Well, the conclusion is that I both cannot and do not ever deserve to be loved.

Now what?

That has nothing to do with religion that's jus you being depressed go to a therapist not a priest

I have a psychologist. He is one man, not a loving community as one would have in a church.

With regards to religion, I'd first like to define terms. There's belief and there's faith. Belief is essentially you say that something is going to happen because the evidence points that way (e.g., I believe the sun will rise tomorrow). Faith is thinking something will happen despite all evidence pointing to the contrary.

Now that my pet peeve is dealt with. Yes, you can choose to believe I'm something, but faith is not really a choice. Either you have faith or you do not. It's possible to be religiously inclined even if you aren't exactly religious.

I think the question you should ask is WHY do you want to invest in a religion? Is it for the community? For the certainty? The security? Just for kicks? That should give you an idea of what you really want.

The community.
