you know almost nothing about Christianity.
I grew up catholic
point being...?


Huh? The point is the answer to your statement. And that you are wrong with that i know nothing about christianity.

Quote:
secondly, most people i know who "grew up catholic" know hardly anything at all about Catholicism. most with a proper Catholic upbringing are aware of that and know to differentiate themselves from those who just "grew up catholic", as "label catholics" are so common. and an understanding of Catholicism isn't necessarily an understanding of Christianity wink.


Don't tell me what i know or not know. I know that better than you wink

Well, I have had a look at it all, not just consumed and then quickly forgotten. I have proven it. And have started to think by myself. I found lots of inconsistency, i found out that there is not just black and white like the bible wants to tell us. And that was the moment where i stopped being catholic and have left the church. Quickly.

Quote:
proper Christianity never prescribed much power to people. Catholics will often argue in favour of their hierarchical system with references to Jesus sending out the Apostles, saying this infers power to priests as well.


... or you will burn in hell ...

No power, no pressure? And that's not just a catholic or even a christian phenomenon. wink

Quote:
Christianity was not created for humanly power, it's abused for humanly power.

just like alcohol, sex, drugs, money, and even power are good things but can be abused.


It's the other way around my friend. It all started when the first shaman found out that it gives him a big advantage by being the shaman.

Religion is always abuse.
