Open in threadThinking erodes religious belief. (Main Forum)
I grew up as a totally (brainwashed) committed Catholic who was taught that outside the RC Church no one could be saved. As I grew spiritually as well as physically I began to think about how a loving God Who created all of us could discard so many millions of people. That was the crack in the wall for me.
Now I believe that thinking started me questionning the religion in which I was born, not the concept of religion itself, and I hope to continue that questionning as long as I live and never again to accept rigid doctrine handed down from Rome. I long to see a truly catholic church, one in which everyone will be welcome, as Jesus intended, not just those who kowtow to those in medieval outfits with minds to match.
