Probably my last thread

[Pax]

I wonder if other people have this experience.

The more I hear the arguments for Catholicism, or Christianity as a whole, the more I am convinced it’s mistaken.

I used to be Catholic, and I used to argue passionately that it was the wholeness of truth. Now that I am on the other side, the arguments sound so laughable, I wonder how I ever believed them to begin with.

Any former agnostics or atheists that have had this experience in reverse?

Anyway, I think this will be the last thread a participate in, because I don’t see the point in coming back here anymore. I used to think I could act as a peace-maker. To foster understanding between believers and non-believers.

That didn’t seem as arrogant to me when I started posting here.

But now I find myself getting so angry I’m just exacerbating the problem. So this is kind of a farewell thread.

To those of you who have been very kind and understanding: thank-you. To everyone else: don’t worry, I’ll be gone soon.

I will pray for you…I’m sorry that you feel angry. May the Lord’s mercy and love be upon you.

Dear Sideline,
I do hope at somepoint you return and at least just view this site. Some of us are more gifted at communication than others. I look on debates as more of a fact finding portion of the journey, than something that “seals the deal”. I know ultimately my reversion to Catholicism was most influenced by what people did, not what they said (not at all to diminish the importance of theology). In the end, for me it was the work of the Holy Spirit that brought me back. It all began with love.
Blessings to you on your journey.
