Just cause I'm Catholic does not mean I agree with everything about the religion, not that I give a damn what Nazis think. I believe there is a God, I believe that Jesus walked the earth, not so sure about whether he will again or not but hey it's possible.. I don't fall into the whole apocolypse thing as it is more of what Morgan is talking about, instilling fear. I do believe in heaven and hell.
I do not agree with MANY (understatement) of the beliefs of Catholicism, such as no pre-marital sex or use of birth control as my two major peeves. I use protection for a reason, I am not in a position in my life to have another Child - doing so would be extremely irresponsible.
After being very lucky as a young man I am just now gaining respect for alot of things in life as I experience more swings than 99.99% of the people who ever read this will in their lives. I also make way to many mistakes but I am learning from them... I have not learned everything I need to though, and have a longgggg way to go.
I have spoken with my Mom, who raised me Catholic, about my feelings regarding my religion and she is in the same boat as me - I think A TON of Catholics are. We don't believe in the harsh guidelines they push and I don't think I need to GO TO CHURCH and donate money to pray or worship god, period. She went through a lot when my Step Dad divorced her for another women, she went to a lot of retreats and took great personal inventory of herself - I truly admire her for the person she is.. She explained to me that I don't need to go to a Church to worship god.. I can sit in front of a tree and pray - all the same to god.
That being said, I want my daughter to be baptised for some reason as I want her to have a god - and god forbid if anything ever happened to her I would just feel better about it if she was baptised. I don't understand, given what I just said, why I feel this way.. It might actually be the fear you mentioned Morgan - but I do and there is no way in HELL the Catholic church will baptise (wrong word first post!) the daughter of an unwed (to this day) mother...
