[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I may have phrased it incorrectly but the general question I have given my experience with both faiths is how much do you rely on a Pastor?

I grew up Catholic and going to confession with the Priest for example to confess my sins versus praying directly to God for ultimate forgiveness.

What role should a Pastor if I continue as a nondenominational believer have in my life?

The church I most recently attended there was that pressure that if you were going to another church you were in the wrong House of God to be led to heaven.[/quote]

Confession is creepy.[/quote]

I get why you say that, and it doesn't work for everyone, but it is extremely helpful for many. The Catholic church helped people immensely with this practice long before Freud started peddling it in a secular package. [/quote]

I've never done it. [b] The church has also harmed a lot of people over the years, given issues with the person on the other side of the screen. [/b][/quote]

Undoubtedly, but that is a totally separate issue and you bringing it up = whataboutism. [/quote]
