I agree with Hayden about how not all Catholics try to convert people. Kristin, have I ever tried to convert you? I try to live my faith not as a Catholic, but as a Christian. This means not trying to convert people from one sect to another, but accepting that we all believe that we are saved because of our belief in Jesus, but that we all choose to worship in different ways. This sectarian stuff is stupid. I was born and raised a Methodist and converted to Catholicism last year, but I seem to be the happiest and get the most fulfillment when I'm in a non-denominational church. Denominations don't matter, all that does is living your faith by having an attitude of love towards everybody. We need to follow the Golden Rule both in our daily lives and here when we're talking to each other. Just remember, we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. I know not everyone reading this is a Christian, and for those who aren't, understand that I'm not trying to preach to you, I'm just babbling on about how it ought to be and how it WILL be if we all do our part and "love one another". You all may not agree and may just call me a Jesus Freak, but there's my two cents. *Jessie*
