1. Brought up in half-christian family. Atheist mother, catholic father, although I haven't been living with my father since age of 8. Turned to religion and became mild christian at age of 14, but I didn't really care. Then after accident gave my life to God at age of 16/17.

2. Religion keeps me secure. I cannot disagree with it. But I see God's grace in everyday life situation. Beauty of the world, complex philosophy I do much research on, relationship with people. I kind of... fear who could I become without faith now.

>>10810361

I try to pray 3 times a day, each prayer around 20 minutes long. Practically I pray once a day, maybe 15 minutes long, but I often turn to God with thoughts during the day. God doesn't speak to me directly. He speaks in images or sudden understanding of specific parts of prayer that I can apply to my life currently. He guides me, often through conscience too.

Never been to Church before, I feel its a large part of Culture I've missed out on and honestly I feel like learning something about this Religion.

If I go to Church tommorow morning, will I be asked to go home because I'm not Christian (yet, on the fence) or will there be anything I need to do before I go?

Also what to wear?

You'd not believe how many more of these incidents happen in different institutions like for example education department. Media choose to focus on church, what is understandable part of liberal agenda.

John Paul the Second, as much as I loved him as a person he was, didn't do anything to combat phedophilia inside the Church.

Pope Benedict XVI was first to approach the problem and fought it efficiently. We will see in coming years the effect of his work.

No. Never seen that ever happen and I've gone to Church thousands of times.
Went to a friend to his protestant church (I'm Catholic) and they were open as well.

>Also what to wear?
A dress shirt with decent pants are nice, but if you don't own one anything really (as long as you don't go with something indecent like wearing only a pair of boxer shorts).

Although the crime is just as heinous, the difference is that the BBC doesn't claim to be an infallible source of morality and righteousness, unlike the Catholic Church.

So, according to my (admittedly weak) understanding of Catholic doctrine, everyone is destined for Hell unless they metaphysically accept the sacrifice of Jesus to purge their sins.

How is that just? You're being rewarded for something someone else did. If you can be saved because of Jesus's sacrifice, then it should be logically consistent that you could be damned because Apu in the year 3016 murders someone.

Brother, I don't know about other churches apart from Catholic. If you choose a catholic one, what I'd recommend to you, just go inside before the service, take a seat in a back row and listen.

Follow the rituals, do what other people do. Listen to the sermon. Discuss it with yourself in your mind. If you'll be feeling ready, go to the confessional, approach a priest sitting there and tell him that you're agnostic. He'll offer you guidiance. Wear whatever you like, preferably elegant or casual clothes.

Difference between human and living God is that Jesus sacrificed himself for you. Not for a large mass of anonymous people. Just for you, personally. You gotta understand this. He planned your creation and your further salvation. He purged your basic sin. One you were born with. Throughout your life you'll commit various acts of good and bad. He sees your intentions. My religion does not claim you're destinated for hell just because of lack of belief, you know?

It is written: "Nations of the world will be judged by love and love only" and "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’"

The truth teachings of Jesus resides within the Assyrian Church of the East. Instead of sucking Roman cock and adopting Latin, or sucking Greek cock and adaopting Greek, we're still using Aramaic, the original dialect that Jesus spoke.

That doesn't alter my problem with the doctrine. I am saved or changed or purified not because of something I did, but because of something someone who died over 2,000 years ago did. How is it just to divorce divine Providence from the person doing the sinning and the acts of righteousness?

I approached the problem for you. Because of God's love for a mankind he's giving you "carte blanche" because of Jesus' sacrifice. You'll still have to fill it with your deeds throughout your life.

If you're still unsure on the whole concept I recommend you reading "Brothers Karamazov" by Fedor Dostoyevski. It's one of most powerful studies of the salvation phenomena.

Whats the deal with Catholics and a Pope figure,and is he considered equal to God in your eyes?

Because it seems the pope is worshiped/exonerated more than "God".

What you are saying right there, is that it is imaginary. If it isn't material, then its imaginary. You just portray yourselves as stupid, or childish, believing that you will go to an imaginary place after your death. You will not go anywhere. You create false hopes your whole life, worshiping someone who isn't there, and wasting your precious life. The only one you have. And the big problem here is, that nobody can laugh in your face for it either, because you, and I will be dead. All Christianity ever was, was a money making scheme. And it still is. And it was also a way to control people. Think about telling a child off, "You wont get any desert!", or somthing like that. Christianity was an easy way to tell everyone to keep in line "Be good, or you will go to hell". Unfortunatly, people still believe its real.

Or it could be a form of existence that transcends the material.

How far is the drive to Mass?

I'd go but I like sleeping in, plus I'm slightly antisocial.
