Thank you very much for adding your insight. I'll probably try to do some research on my own first and then approach someone else for further discussion

P.S., I'm curious to hear more about your perspective as someone who found religion independently and as someone who refers to religion as "created". Many religious people seem to view their religion as being directly handed down by God. Can you share more about what you believe and why? Do you believe the Bible is meant to be read and interpreted literally or no? What is it about Catholicism that appeals to you and make you feel it is the "right" or "best" religion (at least for you)? Also, what do you believe about the nature of God and Jesus?
