Had to drop in here. Your up bringing is the problem. The Catholic church,
in most non-catholic's opinions, DOES NOT follow the true teachings of
Christ and therefore are not a true Christian church. A couple of quick
examples: It teaches you need someone to stand between you and Christ (you
have to confess your sins to the priest), you pray to people (Mary, Saint
this or that), the believe that there have been many 'perfect' people (they
call them popes. Also it teaches you can 'buy' and/or work your way into
Heaven, to most true Christians would find this very close to blasphemy.

True Christians have two rules to follow (if someone isn't following them
then it doesn't matter what name they use) those rules are: Love God
completely and love your neighbor as you love yourself.

One last thing, Christ told us we are to spread the Word but if the people
don't want to hear or believe then we are to knock the dust off our feet and
never visit them again. Its up to them at that point. As I have told many
people talking about religions, any religion which has to use force to keep
its people from hearing other preachings is most likely a false religion
because a religion of a God that could make the universe can easily stand up
to a few words or thoughts.

How odd that that fool that was stupid enough to get
nailed up by the romans didnt say anything like that.

Or that either.

Pathetic, really.
