Does having strong faith in a religion mean you close your mind to everything else? Is everyone who isn't of your faith just plain wrong? |
Well then, tell your friend to EMAIL me and I will be more then happy to go over the Catholic Religion with her. I dont how she and others wouldn't know because every "Christian Religion" is traced back to Catholic Religion. All these other Church's have broken off from other religions that where broken off from Catholics.
Anyways, if she/you want more you can Email me.
Your question about having a "closed mind." Well that depends on the issue you are talking about. I believe I have a somewhat opened mind and I TRY to understand where people are coming from and there are issues that I do agree with others that the Church doesn't like (Gay Marriage). and there are issues that I agree with, with the church (Abortion.) The way you are brought up and your Values play a HUGH deal in you political Affiliation and as a person. Many people deeply into their religion in MY Church who believe everything that is said in the bible is wrong (Acting on Homosexuality, Abortion, lying, etc... ) tend to be Republicans, however I will consider my self a monderate Democrat by where i stand on issues. I get alot of "Why are you democrat" by i defend myself.
