Naw, those who desert the Faith do so for personal reasons. Those who convert to the Faith do so for theological ones.

You've been told otherwise numerous times by numerous posters but go ahead, delude yourself.

You guys were ones who convinced me of that position. You claim that you deserted the Faith for theological ones, but I think that you guys are trying to justify that decision to yourselves more than trying to convince us.

I have no doubt it feeds so much insecurity and spiritual pride.

That is the position of the failed Catholic - having to continuously justify that condition to not only the world, but to yourself.

I did not desert the *Faith*. I found faith and left legalism in the form of Catholicism for freedom in Christ.

I attend church because the Scriptural command is to not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, not because it's a sin to miss church.
