» A Venezuelan with a Hindu Soul
By Pekky Marquez | Published 03/27/2004 | The Face of HSC | Rating:
Being born in the Latin American country of Venezuela, I was raised a Catholic. Even though there are such diverse faiths in Venezuela as Judaism, Islam, various Afro-Caribbean religions, and different denominations of Christianity, the vast majority of people in my country are still Catholic, and my family is no exception. However, after I turned 18, I realized that Catholicism did not make sense to me, so I left it. For five years I remained unbound to any religion or belief system, although I still believed in a Divinity and practiced meditation.
