Therefore, you never chose to be Catholic. You grew up in that church, and never examined another with the idea of switching.

I told myself that I'd stay off the religious forums. I also told Chuck. Sorry Chuck, just one post, really. I'll be good. ;)
I'm proud to be a Deist Rolcam. You say you're proud to be Catholic, that's great, you should be proud of what you choose as your belief, just like everyone else in the world should be proud of their beliefs.
There is not right or wrong, there is just different. Everyone thinks their way is the only way, that's why all the religious questions are usually closed, because everyone wants to prove they're right. What if we're all wrong? Have you ever thought of that?
I'm not positive that Deism is right. I have an open mind, I'm willing to explore other options. Right now Deism fits, it's the one that makes the most sense to me.
So, I will proclaim:
Born: Ya right, I'm not telling! ;)
Baptized: Lutheran
Practicing: Deism (although to say I practice it is false, there is no Deist church, that's one of the things that means the most to me about this belief).
I'm happy with my choice and I'm happy that everyone has a choice. I think it's their right to choose whichever religion suits them best. Personally, if there is a heaven, I'm sure that all good people will be going there, despite what they believe or don't believe.
I'll see you there, but not too soon. ;)

It was getting a little bit boring without you.

If he has been at it for 80 years then he has chosen. Once your of the age to move on your own and make decisions then it is by choice you do things. People switch religions all the time. So what your saying makes no sense because your eliminating free will. That is not what the catholic or most churches are about.

He has chosen to stay with what's comfortable, what he knows.

Are you a mind reader? If not then that is a statement only the OP can tell us. I know many religions but I only have one in my heart so I can say without a doubt that only the person in that place can speak of what's going on. You have no idea what has been studied or not.

If you have known him for years then why are you continuing to make blanket statements about them ? Let him speak for themselves.
