As an atheist I have no dog in this fight, but I have long been perplexed by the opinions such as yours.

Why would anyone belong to ANY faith unless they believed it was the true one? Seems to me the thing that annoys foliks is that Catholics express what everyone else thinks.

If a Protestant believes, for example, that another religion is a valid one, why wouldn`t he belong to that religion?

Are all Christ-centered religions equally valid? If so, is it merely a matter of shopping for the one that feels right, or which worships in a way that is comfortable to the believer?

I`m asking because this perplexes me. If one DOESN`T believe his particular faith is THE one, why would he belong to that church?

Christ said that HE is the Way, the Truth, the Life.

It is sufficient to trust in Him, regardless whether you’re Roman Catholic or Baptist or Presbyterian. Scripture is the way we understand who He is, and who we are, and what our need is.

I am not truly anti-Roman Catholic. I’m anti-those who anathematize me because I’m not a member of their denomination.
