I was brought up morman (dont laugh). Had a falling out when I was like 12 and hadnt gone to church since. Up till a couple months ago. Im still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing. Cause Im at a point in my life where I could really use some guidance of some kind.

I dunno tho. Morman-ism (if thats a real word) just seems odd to me still. People look at you differently there it seems. Like if youre poor, your nothing but a hinderence to them. But if you got lots of money....ooohhhh its totally different.

Ive been thinking about going to some other church. But is the grass really greener?

Thoughts?

to avoid flaming. Should we put it in the "members only" forum?

Hi. ^^ Well no matter what church you go to. You want to be in one where you feel the most welcomed, and quite at home. The spirit of God, will lead you. There is no such thing as a perfect church. The church is made up of a body of like minded believers. Your relationship with God is very important. The more you get to know him personally, the more you become familiar with his ways, and his words will confirm it to you. I gotta go for now. But I hope this helps. God bless you. ^^

That actually does help. I appreciate that very much actually. I know your right. But its just tough seeing this really nice fancy church down the street (its a christian church) and want to go check that one out. then I see another one, then gotta check that one out. Its really hard finding a church that I can feel that "comfort" with. Being since I was 12 I lead a life of pure debotchery, and not living up to Gods words at all.

Now Im older and wiser (at least I like to think so) and have done away with all that. I just dont like being told how to think and what to think. I like to explore things for myself and find my own place in my religious world. rather that be with a yamacha (the jewish hat) or a cross on my chest or whatever.

I guess Im kinda like a free agent so to speak. In that I was born and somewhat raised mormon but now I have the chance to look at this from my own eyes. Just hard I guess.
 
Wow, nice replies! And one attempt at trolling! I'd say that's a pretty good ratio.

HRD, the good thing about Christianity is you know you can always go back. Having kids has helped me understand this. In the Bible, God is always calling us his "children," so just try and imagine what you would do if your kid went out and did some stuff that you told him not to, but then came back and said he was sorry, I know I would forgive him/her, so imagine what a perfect father would do.
 
Yeah you got a point there.

But how do you decifer the bullshit religions from the legit ones? I have a feeling the answer is something to effect of "its just something you feel in your heart." So far I dunno if Ive gotten that feeling. Heck I even checked my buddy Budda. That guy always seems to be smiling everytime I see him (at least the fat one is).

Oh well. I dont want to give up. I need some spirtual structure for once in my life. And I need to learn how to deal with the stress and tough decisions that life brings us. And I hope to figure it out one day.

But how did you guys come up with the notion that "christianity is the right religion, as to where catholics are wrong." Well maybe not in those words but you know what I mean.
