loosing my religion

The title is a Southern expression meaning at my wit's end.
When things are going so bad you could lose your faith.

Also a fabulous R.E.M. song.
Between the tight job market and my whiny kids I'm loosing my religion.

Loosing my Religion

I listened to Loosing my Religion over a dozen times last night.

losing my religion

southern term for losing one's temper, "flying off the handle", etc. Note that the R.E.M. song of this title has nothing to do with religion, despite the common misinterpretation of the phrase.
"I was close losing my religion with the kid wrecked the BMW."

losing my religion

it literally means "losing my temper" or "going insane" to some degree. If you would look at the REM lyrics to the song by the same name, it makes more sense, it really has nothing to do with religion.
I was pretty much losing my religion after being forced to listen to rap music by all the freshman girls at my school.
