I suppose. I believe in God and in Jesus...but sometimes the hypocrisy of the Church turns me off. My faith waivers, but I am after all, only human. I still go to mass, even though I won’t be going through RCIA for almost another year and afterward I’m filled with a strange mix of emotions: Happiness, anger, sorrow and guilt. Most of the time I end up crying. I don’t know why, I just sit in my car after mass and cry. But it’s not a sad cry, it’s something that I can’t put into words...or at least I’m failing horribly at it.
My husband’s brother is a real bible thumping evangelical and he’s the type of person who thinks that if you don’t believe in what he does then you are going to end up in hell and that you are wrong for not being Christian (he really hates Catholics)...and I am SO proud to say that I’m the exact opposite. Yes I am ‘Christian'...but I'll love someone who is Jewish, Muslim, Shinto, Pagan, or whatever. As humans, we have free will and we have the right to choose what and whom to believe in and I find no fault in someone who believes differently than me, regardless of what any doctrine or leader says.
