Yes. Not the close minded, under-informed, sort of Christian who hardly understands their own faith to whom the video is directed though.

I'm Roman Catholic and I actually enjoyed that video you posted PKC. He points out the many flaws with Christianity and with the stubborn thick headed twats that practice it. I've stopped attending Church years ago and have only followed the original scriptures in which the people practiced their faith not by going to church (church didn't exist then) but by respecting one another. When he mentions "the kindom inside us", he's referring to an ancient teaching by a Saint that lived in Turkey that taught his followers that the kindom is in our soul and as long as you live a righteous life you shall receive.

So many of the scriptures in the Bible clash with each other, one of the best examples being "thou shall not kill" , yet the "eye for an eye" verse are direct conflicts. That is why many of the Theoligists and Atheists have great arguments against the Christian teachings. The Bible comes off as a bunch of random footnotes and stories made up by uneducated men. I constantly struggle with my beliefs and there were times that I've thought about just dropping my religion and going the way of science and logic/facts.

Must be hard for you, being a RC

actually, how can you be in RC but not do all the churchy stuff that the Pope says you must do otherwise you'd be excommunicated? (last part was tongue in cheek, but you get what I mean)

a) the church does not excommunicate for people missing sacraments or days of obligation. Missing such things is the parishoner's loss.

b) participation in sacraments is encouraged, not required. You can skip all sacraments, all days of obligations, never pray, etc... make a profession of faith and act of contrition and you will be absolved.
