[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have been a few comparable threads lately about doubts about Catholicism.

If you can't get past the basic ideas of Catholicism but still want the feel good of Christianity there are literally thousands of denominations. Stop hemming and hawing and just go be the protestant you want to be.

It's not that hard. [/quote]

Some other brands of Christianity water down the gruesome details -- they have a small cross on the altar, with no dying, tortured, bloody, scantily clad figure on it. They also water down the wacky stuff -- for instance they don't teach children that bread and wine turns into the actual body and blood of Christ, that people then eat, every Sunday.

They do believe in the resurrection, but some of them present it as a metaphor for renewal, not the actual resuscitation  of a corpse.  They also teach the Mary was a virgin, but they don't dwell on it[/quote]

Right. I'm suggesting that OP and the OPs of the other threads of people wringing their hands about Catholicism and asking what they should do move on to a Protestant religion. There is one for every set of Christian beliefs and then some.[/quote]

Or if they want to avoid the various iterations of the Jesus story altogether, they can join an Ethical Society, some Unitarian congregations or just stay home on sunday mornings[/quote]
