Convert me! (not really)

[Servus_Pio_XII]

From the outset - the title of the thread is whimsical and not serious.

Alright, I am a Catholic, but I am curious to hear from all of the non-Catholic religions here.

So, in short, I would like a brief statement explaining:

1. On what criteria your religion is more correct than Catholicism.
2. Why your criteria are correct.
3. Why it matters.

This is a curio thread. I won’t proselytise or the like, tho I may question further if a response puzzles or intrigues me. I cannot make any promises for the other members of the board.

what does this have to do with the questions posed in the thread?

Surely, you’re not serious asking this question. But if I have to explain, I will. The OP said “convert me”. So in the long standing joike between me and other folk, like my wife, I basically said okay I’ll hit you over my head with my bible. Only I I have a KJV…King James Version, if you wondering. But just in case. I was being a bit humerous and this thread had dropped to the bottom, so in essence I bumped it…kind of like this last bump.

It’s interesting and does not pertain to me. But I thought I’d bump it up and be funny at the same time. Sorry if you don’t get it. I guess I have a bazaar sense of humor…

First, I’d need to become convinced that you need converting.
In my experiences, some “Catholics” need converting and others don’t.

Conversion is an ongoing process, IMO.

We all need it, generally all of our lives. I realize that this might not fit some peoples understanding of the salvation process but for me it is correct.

Which brings me to another point. If I am correct in this assumption, we will reconvert at points in our lives…either in the same faith tradition we originate with, or (failing that) into another. There are times when we are either going to renew our Faith or lose it, and this renewal phase opens us up to possible conversion elsewhere (some might call this a point of vulnerability) if our own church or tradition is not nourishing us or is a source of disappointment.

1. Why it matters.

it would matter only if youre not happy with catholicism or if you are a catholic extremist.

1. On what criteria your religion is more correct than Catholicism.

on the criteria that Catholicism isnt really any more correct or incorrect than any other religion on the market today.

1. Why your criteria are correct.

Because of the lack of objective evidences which sets catholicism above the competition.
