Exactly, I was forced by my father to go to church all the time, and then put in catholic school where they were shoving everything down my throat, now i really hate religion. I'll go to church if I feel like it, not because of anyone else or anything.
See that is exactly my point. He was forced catholicsm (which in my book is a seperate religion from both Eastern Orthodox and Protestantism) so much that now he hates all religions based on the flaws of one. I doubt he has even given other forms of christanity (like Eastern Orthodox and Protestantism .. which as I allready mentioned are SO differn't from catholiscm I atleast see them as seperate religions) a chance. Much less completly differn't religions. Now my question for all of you is can you say the same? Have you REALLY given Christanity a chance? What about Catholiscm? What about Hinduism and all its sects (sadly I do not know enough about hinduism to say all the sects but I am still learning)? What about Buddhism? Islam? Taoism? LDS? Judaism? Have you ever taken a REAL good look at any of them? And by a good look I don't mean.. looking at a website or maybe reading one book. I mean spending a few years researching them. Maybe even reading their actully offical holy documents. This is my point to .. well anyone that reads this. You HAVE to question your faith. You HAVE to look at other religions. If you don't (and I know many of you havn't.) you will look like nothing but a fool to me. It dosn't matter how well you know your own beliefs. If you never compare them to the other side how are you so absolutly sure? I am not saying I am perfect. I am still studying other religions. I have no offical religion right now although I am leaning a bit towards Judaism. But you must constantly look at what the other guys have going on. I am not saying that Secular Humanism is not right. It may very well be. But I am not going to stay on that till I know what else is out there.
