I'm not a Christian, but I was borned as raised as one in the Catholic church. It left me with a sense of unfulfillment, so I left and started reading into other religions and ideas. I've learned a good amount since then, and greatly respect the teachings of Jesus, however I do not feel that Christianity accurately interprets/enforces these teachings. Most of the dogmas these days, it seems, are actually based on St. Paul as the proper way to worship Jesus, while Jesus' teachings themselves take a back seat. There are countless examples of this, which I'd rather not get into and disrupt your thread. Just wanted to say hello, and let you know that I was once in your shoes. I see most religions as different ways to acheive the same ultimate goals. Good luck in your life. I hope you find that sense of fulfillment, no matter how you do it.
