I'm officially a catholic. I believe in a higher power and life after death but I have a very strong dislike of all forms of organized religion.

i'm officially a catholic as well and am about to receive my confirmation.

i'm also a beatlist though and yes, organized religions annoy me as well. what happened to the old days when religion was about a salvation and not used for selling things.

I'm a non denominational Christian who believes in God & prays every night along with being a nice cool guy.

I think you got your facts wrong here... Ever heard of an indulgence (I hope that's the right translation), or "aflaat" as we call it? It's kind of an entrance ticket to heaven and churches sold them for a whole lot of money in the middle ages.

Also, the catholic churches were behind all the witch burnings and the prosecutions of protestants.

yeah you are right, but by 'old days' i meant it as a figurative term to mean when the world wasn't as destructive as it was today and everything was going well. but i guess u're right, th4e catholic church did some pretty stupid things.

I think the world has always been as destructive. Of course not on such a big scale as right now, but that's only because they didn't have the technology yet. This muslims vs. the west thing isn't exactly new, it's been going on ever since the crusades 1000 years ago.

I'm a Catholic. I go to church every Sunday. I'm about to have my confirmation. I pray.
Does that make me a bad person for following an organized religion? I don't think so. My friend is an atheist, and while I don't care what religion other people are, she was brought up with some very negative views towards Catholics. She says that we are predjudiced. I told her that is a stereotype and a generalization, not to mention a false statement. I asked her how she expects other people to be tolerant if she's not tolerant of them.

Think about that.

what do you guys think of mormons?

pc31 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 02, 2005, 12:43:49 AM »

to each their own.i have a forum member who is mormon.she is as sweet a person as anyone else on this planet.
i think it matters not what religion you are but how well you were brought up to respect others and give back to the planet mainly and then society.
do unto others as you would have them do unto you is my favorite parable and indeed is the best to live by.
