So you have never had sexual intercourse with a woman, unless married? And you never used contraception if married?
You believe in Papal infallibility?

2nd one. Hell no if I ever get married.

You are not too much of a Catholic then? </BLOCKQUOTE>
I am a catholic, I go to church every Sunday, I am young.... but have I said I listen in church?
I do pray for God's help sometimes when I really need it. </BLOCKQUOTE>
Bit selfish isn't it? </BLOCKQUOTE>
I say all the prayers ( Our father, Hail mary etc etc ), I listen to the stories in the bible.. but when hes talking about it afterwards my mind usually drifts off a bit.. It is kind of selfish but atleast I'm trying... and theres nothing wrong with praying to God even if you don't listen to the bible.. he will forgive you.

I'm agnostic, but I came very close to becoming Christian in my teens while reading the Bible and suffering from depression. Laziness won out in the end though. Well, that and the inability to make the leap.

| You don't follow the 10 Commandments, which is sort of the most basic rule of being a Catholic, or any Christian.

Why would I pray to something I don't believe in? And making a leap of faith isn't a choice.

The ten commandments is basically about as religious as I get. I feel no need to seek comfort from any "higher power" at this moment in my life.

I believe in another life form, but theres no evidence to say there is? Its similar to your problem.. and you can choose to become a Christian.
