You're allowed to sin.. you sin, and go to confession, confess the sins you have committed, and they assign an appropriate amount of prayer as your penance. Even if you kill a ton of people, your soul can be "saved" via penance.

Edited by Colt1775: 2/13/2015 5:07:05 PMAnd this is why Catholicism makes 0 sense, have you ever read the bible? No amount of prayer saves your soul, being baptized in Jesus name is what saves your soul and repentance is something between you and God, there isn't supposed to be a mediator. You are however kind of supposed to confess your sins. Not trying to sound condemning or anything just speaking from a biblical point of view.

I have not read the bible. I have no interest in it, really.

Then how do you know if what the priest is telling you is the truth? Do you really trust a mere human who tells you that the bible (aka word of God) isn't necessary to lead you?
-
I don't really care. In my belief, the Bible is a collection of metaphors. Also, yes, I do trust someone who says the bible isn't necessary if they are a trustworthy person.

Edited by Colt1775: 2/18/2015 2:57:33 AMSo you think the bible is a collection of metaphors yet you trust someone who reads it but says it isn't necessary?

Well, I could give two shits what religion another person is, so long as they don't force anything on me. I'm okay with conforming slightly, like not drinking in front of Muslims and such.

Man look I'm not here to argue with you or cause a flame war, if you really want to be independent you should read the bible yourself. That's all I have to say just try it man, shoot I'll read it with you and do a bible study if you want, it could be on any topic you choose, if you're open to doing that of course.

My roommate is born Muslim and hasn't read the Koran, just like I haven't read the bible having been born catholic. It doesn't matter to me, and that won't make me more independent..

You sound a bit upset.
-
I'm upset for other reasons, sorry.
-
It's all good man, we've all had those days.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I think god's a dick

I'm not religious, I was raised catholic though so I know how it goes more or less.
