I'll always call myself a Catholic. No matter how much I disagree and diverge.

Shit, well on a slight change of subject

What do you think about ideals? Ive been thinkin a lot about the idea of ideals lately. Like in the sense "humans are warlike now, but one day in the future we will be peacefull"

Can you come with me on a slight journey, im playing with words a bit but see if you can see what i see.

in a sense, can you see that having an ideal is in a way paralysis? It prevents you from taking action Now? Like another example would be say i know im a rude person, if i say "ok i will practice and conform to how to be not rude, with effort i will do this and this, control here, and one day i will be not rude" can you see how in a sense that very train of thought prevents you from just changing to not rude NOW? Like if you fully understood the whole process of why youre rude, why would you need time to change. Change now... can you catch a glimpse of what im feelin here?

word @ Jook

@ Dex, I can relate. I've read about all the major world religions, as well as some minor ones. My firm belief is basically Deism: that a higher creative intelligence is a rational explanation for the universe as we know it. Other than that, I'm most drawn to Buddhism, with its subtle, philosophical outlook. But still, something ties me to the Catholic Church, and I can't break that bond. I still go to Mass occasionally, and fairly recently attended an SSPX mass in the traditional tridentine style.

I kinda feel like Buddhism is just saying what Christianity is saying when you strip away the exoteric wrapping paper.

The early Nazarene Christians basically behaved like Buddhist monks.

They all say that same thing (religions).

Pretty much.

Although I like the idea of a unique path to salvation through accepting Christ.

It's like a get out of jail free card. I like that.
