I have maintained for some time that being raised Roman Catholic is fertile ground for creating agnostics. Does anyone else share this view?
I agree. I am a recovered Catholic, 2 decades free of that nonsense. Getting detention from nuns as punishment for asking questions they couldn't give a logical answer to sent me out the door for good.
I attended catholic school, I was not raised catholic. By 6th grade I was already convinced of who I will be the rest of my life. I don't go around wondering how I got here or what triggered it there. I left god behind back then and that is good enough for me still, now. Don't mean to be rude but god is not a philosophy question to me or a mystery I will keep pondering about until I die. Simply... been dropped.
Catholicism is the best philosophically supported Christian religion. That would make anyone think, within its tradition. Of course, we’re not talking the average parishioner.
