I was reading and thought I would share my thoughts, as one does. It's a long post and for that I do apologise. I am neither Christian or Catholic, nor any religion I know. I hope purhaps a helpful comment might help identify my religion, if any? I believe there is a god. The science and physics of the universe, and even life itself, is too coincidental. However, I believe life is elsewhere in the universe. 12,000 known earth-like planets in the Milky Way. 100,000,000 galaxies in the known universe. So, god is up there watching down on us in this tiny corner of his unthickably large kingdom, why would he want us to succeed? We kill, we multiply, we conquer. He saw this when he came to earth and we killed him in the most horrific way possible; according to your Bible. Since his visit, we burnt 10,000 innocent women at the stake. The crusades were horrific. And now we harness the power of physics and the atom. 80,000 innocent lives were instantly vaporised in Hiroshima. 6,000,000 gassed to death at the hands of the Germans. You think god loves us! That isn't what I think! Good bacteria in my body, and yours, is only there now because it helps our system function. Bad bacteria will continue to conquer until its destruction, or it will eventually destroy its environment creating its own destruction. If you truly believe, like me, that god is everywhere and everything, instead of praying in your Churches and asking for guidance and forgiveness, we should find what our environment will benefit from. Science is the key to that question. Alexandria, a city wealthy with knowledge of astronomy, great learning and new inventions to help better understand our environment. Religion condemned the city and we burnt it to the ground, destroying the worlds largest library containing a copy of every known book! I would not be proud of us if we were mine. I hope we grow up.

Hey! I definitely do NOT agree that Christianity as a whole is becoming more supportive of homosexuality. Just like you said for Catholicism, that's an individual thing. Any person or church who supports it is NOT of God or the Christian church.

I'm recently contented with all religions. There is no right or wrong religion. It's better to believe in God (or a god) than nothing at all. People that I know that have faith in their beliefs about what created life each share the same passion for God. Faith is beautiful. I'm born and raised a Catholic who's only troubled with one thing: Judgement I'm faced with by other's. One friend of mine was deeply interested in Catholicism, and wanted to know exactly what it was. These are the type of questions I like to be asked. Not the ones about why I'm not their religion. I don't know any Catholics who share distasteful opinions about other churches. But there are people that disagree with my choice and it totally makes you feel saddened and afraid to tell anyone of your religion. Sure we have different viewpoints, but in the end we should all come together regardless of our religion and come to accept each others.

I totally agree with Stephanie posted 3 oct. Salvation comes through believing Jesus is Gods only Son and that He died for all sins that you are a sinner and need to be forgiven and repent of your personal sins trusting in Jesus death on the cross to have paid the price for you. Baptism is an outward sign of the inward salvation.Baptism does not save you or I would be saved having a bath. What power in that the power for the forgjvenss of sins was through Christ shed blood on the cross.Catholics believe its wrong to believe this is enough to save you. There is much wickedness in the catholic church.

Christianity came from Peganism and there is no GOD there are GODS. Believing that if you talk to an imaginary friend and ask him for forgiveness and all will be well is ridiculous and immature.

Did Jesus create us, or did we create Jesus?????

Catholics do not believe in divorce is true, but you can still get an annulment in the Catholic church, so you can marry again

This is what I chose to believe (and I dont mean any disrespect or harbor any hatred towards any religion). Religion is absolutely not necessary if you already know the meaning of kindness, peace, acceptance, understanding, & sacrifice. If you dont, you need to be taught, that is if you give a damn abouany of the above. Religion is one of the medias that can teach you. BUT you should know without the help of any religion, right from the get go as we are all programmed to be all of the above. If you ask me, spreading peace and love without any reservation & condition is the only way to solve most if not all the problems on this earth. Unfortunately pride, anger, jealousy, ego, selfishness, arrogance, and aggression comes first these days. Sad.... I wouldnt be surprised if The Most High really presses the RESET BUTTON some day.

First of all there are no God's there is one God and like it says above he is the holy trinity. He is the son the father and the holy spirit. If your religous views differ from those in wich this article suggests then why are you reading it.

Christianity is better than Catholic because Catholics think pope is the teller of God and they think the holy trinity is real but it's the father the son and the Holy Spirit
