    guess I'm going with ya then cause my ribs hurt from laughing...

    Let's face it, after Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF! Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow. You can't scare me, I have children.

                  As a Christian myself, I find that pretty hilarious. It's a pretty accurate description of how non-Christians view Christians.

                                      It's when we get into some of the finer details. I was brought up URC[^] and also attended C of E through school. There is stuff in the Eucharist that I find hard to accept; such as Christ being physically present. I wonder if all Catholics truly believe this or just choose not to disagree. Confession through a priest is a big problem for me. I confess to God, it is His choice if I receive forgiveness for my sin; not some random person who, philosophically speaking, does not know me. Papal infallibility is also rather hard for me to take. Anything the Pope, any Pope, says [in the context of his ecumenical duties] is said with God's Will and so cannot be questioned. Qui custodiet ipsos custodes? That said, I have a good relationship with our priest and he is happy for me to share communion; as long as I accept the aforementioned opinion. Our children are happy in the Church School and when we move back to the UK, we will attend the local Catholic Church; with occasional visits to my Church.

                                        You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering” - Wernher von Braun

                                        I'm in. One of my favorites...

                                        I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

                                          Just curious - what happens if that priest is suffering a crisis of belief when you confess? Or when they give last rites?
