FIRST POL-AM CATHOLIC (?) PRIESTESS [72]
that is why some choose to not keep interpreting things as they are written because the book was at one time called the old testament then it became the new testament.. pretty soon it will say.. versions 1 thru 500
You have no idea about the old testament vs the new testament, yet you think your some expert on why the reiligion has it downfalls? Those are two separate sections of the bible. One written before Christ, one after. They were not renamed! Maybe your mom "didnt go back" because she didnt know much about the religion to begin with. Its rare that a person knowing the religion very well step away. Its usually due to ignorance of what it truely is, and laziness to find out. It's easier to say bah humbug
Krakowianka:
I believe that most atheists are that way because they are too lazy to follow a religion, and its easier to follow no rules.
or maybe they have their own mind and don't need constantine's rules to tell them what's what?
They are God's rules, do you know of the 10 comandments??
Krakowianka:
I know priests who surely can.
And what makes you think he has all the answers?.
Honestly he can't.
Yes he can. Not all priests are the same. Some more devoted to Christ, some just fulfilling the duties assigned. The more spiritual priest, the more educated priest can explain all the logics behind the bible and God. God does exist, no matter how many times you write here he doesnt, or try to convince yourself its imagination. It may be your imagination that he doesnt, but he does. If you are a strong atheist, then surely you shouldn't be scared to go talk to a priest who can answer the questions or thoughts you have on why you try to disprove his existance. I know I'm a strong enough Catholic that I can duke it out with an atheist and not worry my faith is not strong.
I have been to some very good church masses but they did not talk so much about God and Jesus, more about what they are doing in Somalia and wht terrible atrocities are being committed there.
If you go once in a while, you hear a limited selection. They relate items in the bible to current events, is that not acceptable?
