"I believe in matematics in my own way. After all, some of their teachings are harsh - such $20-$30= -$10. That one keeps overdrawing my checkbook and costing me overdraft fees. So we should eliminate it from math."
If there is a God, then there are things about Him which are right and true, and things about Him which are not. You can not simple "make up" God any more then you can "make up" math and have it work. Either He is like what the church teaches, or He is not.
I was a lousy student in math until I got a teacher, Miss Tripp, who was 89 years olds, never married, and simple loved math. She somehow managed to teach the math in a way that "clicked". Not that she taught anything different that the other teachers, but she taught it in a way that clicked with me.
If the RC church is not "clicking" with you, may I suggest you look around for one that does. On the major doctrines, the majority of churches agree. They just practice them differently. Sometimes that difference will "click" with you, and you will finally be able to understand God.

See the thing about religion, or at least to my understanding is that.....you cant pick and choose what you like and then disgard the rest. Religion is not ment to conform or change its doctrines around the culture or society. At times it may seem harsh, but thats just the way it is. An its not really a bad thing. Its not that the religion has changed, its more like the people have. If the Holy Roman Catholic Church isnt for you, try an Evangelical Christian Church.

My family are, and still are staunch Catholics, I went to Catholic school, and yes, the nuns were very strict. The few children who weren't baptized were treated differently and were often singled out by the nuns. I remember at 13yrs I met a girl who told me she was a Mormon. I asked where that was and she said it was her religion. That was when I started to question my faith because my life's education had me believing that everyone was Christian. Although I feel my upbringing was a harsh one, I have to admit that my time at Catholic school, were some of the best times of my life (we got up to so much mischief being rebellious). I don't often go to church now, but I still consider myself to be old school. Some habits are hard to change.
Like you, I believe in God in my own way. I believe our Lord is loving and not judgmental. He sees you for who you are and how you treat others.

I was raised United Methodist. In my church, we have always been taught that it is okay to question your faith. My youth leader used to refer to "the gospel according to Tom", meaning that this was how he felt about a certain matter and not necessarily how we felt.
There are a lot of things that I believe about the Bible that some other people don't believe (for example, I believe that the miracle of the loaves and fishes was that after the little boy offered up his lunch, other people offered up theirs--that's still a miracle to me). That doesn't make them wrong, or me right--it just means that I see things differently than they do, and really, that's okay.

You should believe in what is true in your heart. All religions are created from other peoples belief's, therefore it isn't natural to be labelled under a certain type. Religion's are for people who don't believe in themselves. My advice would be to do what you feel is best and forget the rest.

I do not agree with the RC
Their teachings are very much against what I believe to be true.

I have not looked into it, but from what I have heard from many people they do not teach 100% biblical truth. So I would staw away from them. Find yourself a good bible based chuch like AOG-Assemble of God, Anglican, christian city church, church of christ, (not the latter day saints they are a cult) baptist churches are ok too, some non denominal ones, penticostal. But AOG is spirit fuilled, as I have been to a few of them and some of their bands are really good too.

I think each religion has things that are not easy to accept.
That's where faith and your individual beliefs come in.
However, remember a lot of some religions is symbolic....but in the end you have to go with what feeds your heart & your soul.
