<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><HTML><BODY BGCOLOR="#FF8000"><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" FAMILY="SANSSERIF" SIZE="2">there are plenty of people (in religions and everything else) who say they are something that they're not. just for example, a fair amount of people say that they're christian even though they don't have a personal relationship with Christ. I was just pointing out that just because someone says that they're Catholic doesn't mean they go to church regularly or even embrace ideals concurrent with those of the Church. <BR>
There are people in every religion who were raised in that religion when they were a kid but never kept it up once they reached adulthood and therefore even though they might claim to be a member of said religion they actually have no idea about the axioms of that faith.<BR>

Then why be in a religion if your not going to follow it dutifully?<BR>
<BR>
I mean like why say your Catholic if you do things that a methodist or seven days would?<BR>
