slightly tangential

[(Anonymous)]

this. If someone asks me if I'm religious (or what religion I belong to) I really don't know what to say. I can't imagine not believing a higher power, but I always have to side-eye organized religion, though I can understand its benefits. I have been helped A LOT by the Catholic Church and I really love the people I know who are Catholics, and I do find beauty in some of the Bible/rituals/images, but the organizational structure as a whole I can't really get behind. Power can easily lead to corruption, and religious leaders/institutions are no exception. And quite honestly, I could never accept spoon-fed dogma. I don't just blindly accept what I'm given, and quite honestly, I feel that my search for answers has gotten me a lot closer to God than if I just blindly accepted everything. There is no One True Religion with an answer key; there's just us, the brains we are given, the world around us. And God, which (I believe) in all those things.

And I do strongly believe that religion MUST be criticized in order for reform to be possible. We can't just tiptoe around matters that seriously need to be addressed. How else would progress be possible?

Criticism and bashing aren't the same thing.

Re: slightly tangential

And many Christians see the former and interpret it as the latter.

On your thing about "No One True Religion", I am nominally a part of an organised church (nominally, because I haven't attended in years, but I'm still technically a member and think myself as being one), and my church has a lot of stuff about the "True Church", but doesn't believe that means one particular denomination. It's believed to be a far more amorphous collection of True Believers that could belong to any church or creed, but manage to be, well, True Believers.
