Theology (study of God) is quite interesting, however

That sounds so clinical and impersonal.

I don't want to know ABOUT God as much as I want to KNOW Him. A personal relationship with someone is far more exciting and satisfying than studying about them.

That's where I found Catholicism really lacking. Lots of knowledge about God, but little knowing Him and relating to Him on a personal level.

But considering the God Catholicism portrayed to me was one who was ready to zap my for the slightest infraction, I saw plenty of reason to stay our of His sights and not draw undo attention to myself.
