[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm always surprised by people who jump between faiths.  Do you just decide that you don't believe something anymore and pick a new religion that aligns with that?  People just seem more cavelier than that - "Oh I was raised Methodist but now I go to my wife's Lutheran church."  Well aren't they fundamentally different in enough ways that you can't interchange them?[/quote]

I don't know about that. For example, I know many active Catholics very well and not a single one professes to believe in transubstantiation or agrees with the church's teachings on homosexuality, the role of women in the church, sex before marriage or birth control. It's not surprising that they'd jump ship to another church with slightly less objectionable positions on these issues.

Are there educated adults who still believe these things are true and correct? I think educated Catholics put up with these teachings of the church for the comfort of familiarity. [/quote]

I don't believe you know many active lracticing Catholics.[/quote]
