knowledge2 - Well put. You have some good points. (And yes, all Catholics, or true Catholics at least, are Christians, so when talking about Christians in general, most catholics are normally included.
) I as a Catholic, questioned everything as well, even to the point of attending studies with many different churches, and it is this questioning that had continued to strengthen my faith more and more. I agree that all religions should be more philosophical in that they need to teach and study much more on the philosophies of the religion, so that those attending the church know what they believe, why, and how to act upon it and/or apply it in every day life.
