I was raised catholic too but didn't actually become catholic until I was 21....evil people, some priests/bishops included, subvert it and use it for their own disgusting aims. But there is so much truth and healing in the body of Jesus in the Eucharist. I still am healing (not from anything close to what you've endured) and the greatest peace I've ever experienced is sitting silently in an adoration chapel.
I'm encouraged to know after all you've been through you still believe in God. I've tried to understand so many times why he'd let kids suffer the way you have. Thanks for continuing to fight and for sharing your story on here <3
I just have to say WOW at your amazing understanding! I totally understand what you are saying. It is very hard for me to explain this but I will try. It is this religion that does this to people. I saw immediately when you said you were raised Catholic where the opening to satan came from in your life for this torment to take place. It is so sad to see this happen to people and it just causes me such sorrow. I'm glad you found your way to God!!! And not religion. This is our real answer to stopping all this.
you're right. today, being spiritual is the opposite of Institutionalized religion, especially when being a pedo is part of the job description. they're demons, one way or another.
"Being spiritual" in many cases (not all), is just another way that people claim to be their own popes, and for some non-Christian faiths, there is no idea of god per-se...just a self satisfying way to be a "spiritual" atheist. Painting so many people with such a broad brush as you have is the worst symptom of self righteous pride.
Not really, it's false teaching that enslaves people, organized or not. Orthodox Christian teachings are freedom for me...brought healing and wholeness. However, there's also the realization of depths of evil within the world...so yeah the red pill part of it isn't what most people care to learn.

Thank you. I believe in god, but not religion. Institutionalized religion is a tool of the masses, I was raised Catholic so.. There's that..

The less centralized/institutionalized the better.
I'm very suspicious of institutionalized religions as well.
