[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'll bite the bullet. You're very young, or very dumb, or both.

And it has nothing to do with you being religious. You sound like you believe because that's what you think you're supposed to be (ie, "was born and will die a Catholic"). Like you don't have an option, and that it's the paradigm you're in no matter what.

There are a lot of intelligent religious people who make informed and educated understandings about faith and religion. They really research. They believe they have a choice about what to believe and identify as. They don't just go to church because it's what they're supposed to be and die as, but because of a sincere search.

So maybe you have some growing up to do, or maybe you should really study religion (not just Catholicism, but other traditions) so you have an informed understanding. You could be young, you could be dumb, but it has nothing to do with belief/unbelief. [/quote]

I have an option and I've made my choice. At the same time I openly question my faith because their are parts of it I don't agree with and more stuff I'd like to understand. Why did God make me this way, why don't I look like this, why do I have go through these trials and tribulations...that stuff. I'm fairly knowledgeable about other religions, so I don't know why you would think I'm not. As far as I'm concerned, God is real, my Atheist dad is in heaven, the rest of my family is in heaven and there is no reason to think otherwise. [/quote]

But why did you start the thread?
Did you accomplish what you'd hoped?[/quote]
