Where is my Bible thread???

Sure. I am a Catholic, not some nutbag evangelical who believes God put fossils into the ground to trick us into believing that the earth is more than 6k years old.

I believe that God transforms water and wine into the body and blood of his son Jesus Christ who is both fully man and fully God, in unity with the Father and the Holy Spirit. See? Totally different. Their beliefs are crazy where as mine are less crazy. By a measure. And you know what? The idea that I was born without purpose and will die and cease to exist still strikes me as less plausible in my mind. If I really believed that, I would honestly, most likely, be stealing, killing, and raping everything I see.

But I still believe in justice and blood atonement for Sins and I don't believe that we are alone, or meaningless. I also know that existence is so absurd that lots of stuff seems less crazy. The Bible provides a light in the darkness. I also like the Koran. Personally, I believe that everyone is part of the Catholic church, whether they like it or not. The OT is as flawed as the NT, the Koran as flawed as it's predecessors - and I believe that Mohammad was a prophet, and it it wasn't for his violence and Arianism-like theology, that he would be a Saint (even though violence and strict monotheism didn't keep the OT prophets from revered status). All were inspired by God. Even the pagan stuff where they must have been too busy playing mahjong or football to write it down correctly.

Syncretism within the Catholic Church. It can be your religion too.

What the heck do I know?
