I came to mine in college. I had been a somewhat casual Protestant. I was away from my church and tried actually reading the Bible. Yikes. Let's start at the Gospels instead. Also yikes.
The funny thing is that religions are incredibly interesting to me: my shelf has several Bibles, a Quran, a Baghavad Gita, a Book of Mormon, just to name a few.
I could almost be Catholic if they'd just stop lying to themselves and everyone else about the semantics of the whole thing. If they'd just throw out the scripture already, let ladies be priests, and admit that they worship a fertility goddess and a Pokedex of demigods -- it's not a terrible choice!
- mattnewton 5y agoReading the Bible just made me a deist / agnostic at first. It is a wild ride, but I couldn’t write off artistic liberty / nuance haha. Total agree with your other posts. You can be culturally catholic and think of it as a big book club and still get value out of it- I know some people who do.
