Why I’m not Catholic Anymore
As a Catholic, one of the tenets I was supposed to live by was ‘Fear of the Lord’. He leveled Sodom and Gamora, asked Abraham to murder his son, killed the firstborn children in Egypt, flooded the entire world. Any act of goodwill that I preformed felt tainted by either a false feeling of superiority or fear of what was waiting for me after I died if I wasn’t charitable.
“The Lord is my Shepherd and I shall not want”. Did that make me a sheep?
A faith based on fear isn’t faith.
