By nature, I am a non-conformist (which is funny, because now I am Catholic!) and I do not take authority from others lightly.

I'm the opposite in that I am a conformist. I like to be part of things and, as a middle child, have always been the peace maker. I do take authority well so when I write opposing views here it does not come easy.

I believe I am following my conscience while I kept myself open to the various messages coming from the different sects.

That is all one can do - if we are honest with ourselves.

We should learn as much as we can about other means of coming to God and be willing to move there if we find there is more truth there.....As long as we are not so stubborn to admit that HE may be correct and I am wrong!.... This is what happens in religious pride, one of the worse and most difficult sins to realize one is committing

Words of wisdom and, as you said, very difficult to do.

Thanks for the interesting conversation.

You are most welcome. I also enjoyed the conversation.

LOL! Then we are filling the opposite shoes of our natures!

Take care,

Brother in Christ
