        Jesus Christ appointed Peter as the rock of his church (literally Cephas, meaning rock) and he told him to “feed my sheep”. And he gave him the keys to heaven. (Why I chose Catholicism)

        We have a lot of historical and philosophical proof for the existence of Jesus Christ and his divinity, and a lot of proven miracles as well. (Why I have faith in Christ)

        Why not? Let people do what they want. Catholicism has its issues but it’s nowhere close to whatever the fuck american protestants or the other three billion denominations they came up with are doing.

          I’m not forbidding anything. Just curious. People often ask me why I’m an atheist, but most find it really odd or get defensive when I ask them back. I don’t know why. It’s easier to not believe. All the few answers I’ve got for faith have been wildly different.

            I am catholic but pretty much only by the fact I am baptised and sometimes go to church (easter, christmas) but I am mostly just agnostic. Could not give a fuck about god.
