[quote:Buddha Nature:MV8yNjMwMzUwXzQ2MDc1ODYwXzVGODc3N0I4] [quote:Anonymous Coward 62281865:MV8yNjMwMzUwXzQ2MDc1NzYwXzU0REIzMDg1] [quote:Buddha Nature:MV8yNjMwMzUwXzQ2MDc1NjQxXzEwMjgwOEE2] It seems that Gnostic Christianity, Coptic Christianity, and Greek or Eastern Orthodox Christianity are the deepest forms of Christianity. [/quote] :yeahsure: but what do you know [/quote] Not much. But I do know that Christianist Evangelism (Zionism), Christianist Neoconservatism (Zionism), and Roman Catholicism aren't the way to go. Well I do think that there have been genuine saints within the Roman Catholic church at times (such as Thomas á Kempis). In general though, the Vatican reeks of corruption. And it just seems that Gnostic Christianity, Coptic Christianity, and Greek or Eastern Orthodox Christianity are the closest to the original Christianity. Or the Nestorians (don't know if they're even still around though). It would be worthwhile to look up the writings of the Desert Fathers. The Philokalia for example. [/quote]
Original Message
I am currently a Catholic, and while I believe in the Real Presence, I'm having some problems accepting the Church's social teachings, and beyond that, I feel very distant from the Catholic community. I have been thinking about visiting a Lutheran or Episcopalian church service. I guess I am just a confused Christian. I would appreciate any constructive advice.
