Quoting Elisabeth: Quoting AEnigma III: I am not trying to provoke an argument, but merely prove the point that you say you are "religious" but in fact you dont even believe in even the basics of your religion. So why say you are religious?
You can believe in God, without belonging to any religion, which after all, is just a man made hypocracy  |
It's a GREAT discussion! PLEASE lets argue!!!! 
I do believe in the BASICS of my religion....its the details I have some problems with. I do believe in God and want to worship/be thankful to him/her....that's why I go to church. I go to Catholic church because it feels good to me....thats all |
There is nothing in the bible that says you should go to Church. In fact, the bible says you should pray quietly and privately, not publically. There is nothing in the bible that says you should have a Vatican or a Pope. In fact, the bible says you should have no icons and should talk directly to God.

You're absolutely right, but I still enjoy going to mass. It gives me a strong feeling of community to be with all those people...It is a ritual I truly enjoy and that is why I go.

So you are actually contradicting what you said earlier that if somebody doesn't agree or follow the Vatican, they don't qualify as Catholics. Maybe I misunderstood you... but that's what it looks like

Yes, I think it can be a great way to be with other people... but also, a great way to use this as a manipulation field... you must be careful, and always think critically, that's all

No I am not. It is not only Roman Catholics who use the bible However, it is only Roman Catholics who have the riches of the Vatican (while people starve) and a Pope

Will you be picked up by a spaceship piloted by L. Ron Hubbard any time soon?
