Catholicism is a religion.
Christ is coming back for individuals.
The pope won't be there standing with you on judgment day before God.
You'll be by yourself.
There will be no excuses.
I'm a Christian.
Acts 11:27 in the bible says we are called Christians who believe.
Religious denominations won't get you to heaven.
Being a part of some certain church, doesn't guarantee entrance into heaven.
Only a personal relation with Jesus Christ will guarantee that.
Religion and traditions that are contrary to the bible
take away from the word of truth and then there's deception.
Mark 7:7,8,13

I am an ex-catholic that now avoids any organized religion. I was "turned off" at an early age (10). While attending my Great Grandfathers funeral the priest mentioned at least ten times that my Great Grandmother (wife of the deceased) needed to continue financially supporting the church if she wanted to be reunited with him in heaven. The priest then went on to list how much money my Great Grandfather had given to the church with an actual dollar amount.

After leaving the Catholic faith and researching various other religious organizations I came to my personal conclusion that there exists to many contradictions and finger pointing regarding organized religions. I personally feel and believe that God is not as described in many religions and one only has to come to know God from within ones own Spirit.
I believe in many of the concrete contents of the Bible. Such as Jesus and the others that are portrayed. I question that accuracy of translation and meaning.
I now consider myself to be Spiritual. I believe God loves all and that many requirements that are created by many organized religions, are simply created by man to maintain that fear and control thus the continued existence of any particular religious organization.
I do not see anything wrong with religion if that is what one declares to be their truth. It just isn't mine

regrettably particular, i stumble on convenience interior the ritualistic nature of Catholicism. And in my own very own journey, i desperate i might bypass to Heaven on faith on my own, I ought to confess my sins to no one yet God, there are 3 sacraments, and no one stands as a mediator between God and me. i began out then with tips from going to an episcopalian church (Catholic mild), then i attempted a Methodist church (quiet Catholics), and finally a southern Baptist (fireplace and brimstone no longer my factor). I then found out it replaced into no longer Catholicism I had themes with, it replaced into doctrinal faith all mutually. I then desperate to purpose a non denominational, non doctrinal church, I surely have been there in view that.

Ex-Catholic, turned ex-non-denomination, turned atheist. That's what I am.

Atheism. The Catholic church is stuck in the Stone Age, and its leaders are a joke.

Jesus and the Holy Bible, as I grew I felt it was very wrong how the catholics changed, If you are a true religion no need for change.

Christianity, because I finally feel I have a close and personal relationship with God and I have the security of knowing that when I die I will be with him in heaven.
