I was born a Catholic but I am not a practicing Catholic.I studied the Bible for 3 years with Jehovah Witnesses.I learned alot about the Catholic religion. For example,you're not suppose to repeat prayers,not to worship idols,not to call a priest "father",I could go on and on.Well I decided not to be baptized after I saw what they did to a young girl that got pregnant.She wasn't allowed to talk to the other kids her age and she had to sit in the back of the kingdom hall.I felt they were wrong in judging her.What happened to" love thy neighbor"?So now I am confused about religion.I do believe in a higher power yet some days I have doubts.The Bible says"thou shall not kill" and what are we doing?All of these young boys are getting killed in a sad war.Very confusing this planet we call Earth.

I don't know if I see any Catholic teachings as flawed... I don't necessarily agree with everything the Church teaches, but I belive the Dogmas, which are handed down from God.
My main issues is the "love the sinner not the sin" things when it comes to homosexuality... I see no problem with gay people expressing love for each other in a physical way, and I kinda doubt God does either.

I do not disagree with the teachings. I have problems with the understanding of some of the teachings.
So----I pray for strength with faith.

none. I wouldn't follow the religion if I saw it as being flawed.
