"But, alas, those who need to remember that most are those that will fail to see themselves in our comments."
You're preaching the gospel there. I'm glad I was raised Roman Catholic and never had to deal with having those of my faith judge me. We have our problems, but we don't force feed our religion on others and make them regurgitate our beliefs. Oh well, what can you do? I'm willing to let them believe what they want, but I just want the same respect without them beating me over the head with "the good book".
I was also raised Roman Catholic, and spent 12 years in Catholic schools. You're right, we were not taught to beat others over the head with the "good book."
I've got my problems with the Church and have had them for years, but that has absolutley nothing to do with my faith and belief in God. That faith and belief is mine and no one can take it away from me.
We are all God's children, and none of us are perfect.....those are two things some need to be reminded of.
