I thought telling you how. To think was a hallmark of every religion?

the church doesnt tell you what to think...you have the free will to accept the grace offered, and think along the lines of the church and Christ’s teachings....

Nothing wrong with being taught HOW to think, but everything wrong with being told WHAT to think.

A matter not thought through is unsettled still.

Lots of Christians aren’t in communion with the Roman Catholic Church; most of them happen to be in communion with some other organized religion. Why someone would claim to be in communion with the Roman Catholic Church, but to disagree with its fundmental teachings is more than a little irrational.

It is the hallmark of every RELIGION. That’s how you can spot religion a mile away and run from it.

God is interested in relationships, not religions. If He wanted a religion, He could have stuck with what the Pharisees turned Judaism into.
