Poll shows Catholics side with bishops on religious liberty, but warm to Obama

12. You are confusing me with someone else.

My post was very clear. I did not say that anyone should do anything. I said that if they are dissatisfied with their church, they have options.

I suggested one that many people I know have found to be a good choice. My suggestion is based on my own knowledge, as well, of liturgy and beliefs.

Please do not put words in my mouth that I did not say. Please read carefully. Please do not think you understand anything about me other than what I write here. You do not. I do not evangelize for atheism at any time. If someone has religious beliefs, that is their choice or belief. It doesn't bother me at all, and I have no interest in converting them to non-belief. I do not even believe that to be possible.

If they are looking for a change, I have a fairly complete knowledge of doctrine and practices of all major denominations of Christianity. It's a hobby of mine to learn those things. I will give recommendations if asked.

In discussion forums like this one, where religion and theology are discussed, I will state my non-belief and criticize anything I wish. In my personal life, I almost never discuss religion with anyone, unless they introduce the topic, and then I discuss it based on their background and beliefs. This is not my personal life. It is a discussion group with the topic of religion and theology. I will speak my mind here, and I will do so freely and without rancor.

I will not, however, accept distortions of what I have plainly written. If you misstate something I have said, I will tell you so, bluntly, if necessary, but politely. I will use polite language to do so. If you would rather not read what I think, you have an option you can use to avoid doing so. But, please do not restate anything I have said to change its meaning.
