[371]

As someone who spent 13 years in Catholic school (including kindergarten) I can also say I have little fondness for ritual or worshiping. Something being forced down your throat just makes you gag, ya know?

That being said, I have formed my own 'religious' beliefs around what I've learned more outside Christianity, though it seems I have some full circle in that I've come to believe many things I was told before. The difference being that I came to the conclusion myself, not because I was told "That's the way it is".

Dogma and Papal Infallibility make me uneasy. Catholicism is a bad joke IMO.

Also, I know many many people on here are into "new Agey"-type stuff and that's cool. For some reason it just seems more and more to me like the complete opposite of certain mainstream religion, yet exactly the same in the way people are espousing it as gospel. This also makes me uneasy. But, to each his/her own...
