So what religious belief do you stick to? Catholicism is essentially masked paganism. Protestants are wrapped around the gospel of Paul. Neither seems to directly serve/worship Christ despite their differences. And then there are dozens of offshoots in between. It's a genuine question, I'm not bashing your religion. I'm not an atheist, I do "feel" like there is a higher power, but at the same time my established ancestoral belief in Odin seems just as credible as Christianity. or Buddhism.
I just read and follow the Bible. The Protestants were right for leaving the Catholic Church; but kept basically all their corrupt traditions like Sunday worship, Easter, Christmas etc. as well as making up things like going to heaven or hell as soon as you die, or a pre tribulation rapture etc.
Catholicism definitely worships the old pagan gods and holds their own traditions above the word of God. Protestantism twists the scriptures, especially Paul, to give a prosperity doctrine that is scripturally baseless. They’ve essentially created a Jesus force field that allows them to live like the pagans without worry of consequence.
