Eating roast beef noodle..

Its so flexible that you have Catholicism, Christianity, Protestants, etc... But they all believe in one God, I am not sure though if they have the same bible versions. And they still bicker each other whose version of worship is the correct one. In the other religion if you reject, i think depending on the law they are following. Yes you are punishable by death. I guess my interpretation why they "switch" is because of the term "Attack on my Faith" That faith is the base or cornerstone of their individuality. Question and take that away, and it will crumble.

Hi @Do Better, yes I am one. Family on both sides (Father and Mother) are all religious. I did try to believe specially during my elem to hs years. Heck I even went to a catholic college with a theology class every semester. But it really does not make sense to me. (Maybe because its meant to be that way?) When I asked the question to them, why should I believe in "God" you will never get a logical answer. Usually it is for my "salvation", salvation for what? Many are already suffering, is God going to intervene to those who really need help? Right now only those who are helping are the ones who really care and understand what is going on. Imagine in previous pandemics where in medical science was not yet existent. Did "God" intervene or helped cure the infected? I guess not. Did God intervene when Christianity was used as a tool to dominate and conquer territories which lead to again... Thousands or millions of innocents killed in "His name"? Even our country was conquered by using religion. There are many factual events that will make you question the existence of God. But the psychology and effects of religion in humanity are still rooted deep. That is because "God" is an easy way out to explain things that cannot be explained... YET "God works in mysterious ways" is the most BS line that I hate on hearing. It just signifies that one does have the capacity or care to understand the world they are living in.

I'm glad someone can relate from my father's experience. There was a young lady who was selling her medication ( Ritalin for her ADHD) to fellow students. One of her classmates reported it to the Principal, who was also the Rector of the school. He called her to his office and demanded a confession. She of course, folded in fear and wrote down every kid involved with the drug. The Police came and took her away. She got expelled and she stayed in the clink for a month. Confessing to church is one thing but having information shared from a confession and deliver it to the Police is another story. I condemned with what the young lady had done but the sanctity of confession was violated.
