Hello everyone, my name is Peter. I'm nominally Catholic but increasingly realising the wide gulf between what I believe and what the Catholic Church believes. So I'm very interested to hear other perspectives on the nature of God. In other areas, my background is in law but I am currently re-training in accountancy, I'm politically conservative and believe in the value of tradition. I live on the South Coast of England. Looking forward to conversing with you all and hearing your different perspectives.

Oldest Heretic
Many of us are fairly heretical when it come to what we believe, compared to what our respective churches lay down in their dogma.
So welcome to the mad house.
So welcome to the mad house.
...so you're Anglican, gotcha.
This made be laugh. I was actually raised Anglican yes.
Thank you, that's a refreshingly open-minded perspective.
Welcome Peter.
My wife came from a Catholic background and my family really never went to church. Starting going to the Catholic church after I got married and after 6 years, we really had some problems with some of the beliefs that they had.
Today, after dedicating our lives to Jesus as Lord and Savior, we have become "born-again" believers. It has answered our questions about the differences and experienced a turn-around in our lives.
Hi Peter and welcome to RF. You will find all sorts of views here.
Some you can't even put a handle on.
I too was raised Anglican, by a father who was brought up in the High Church of England. I understand that there is little difference between the HCoE and Catholicism. I had big problems with the teachings of the church too.
Start threads about your concerns....you will gets different perspectives....some welcome some not.
Hope you enjoy your time here.

IWelcome, Peter. I am a strong atheist, believing in non-duality ('advaita' Hinduism), denying the possibility of existence of God(s)/Goddesses. I believe that the universe and all that it contains is composed of a single entity, physical energy, about which we do not know everything. That is what we started with at the time of Big-Bang or Big-Hiss. Now one would look very stupid if one was to worship heat, electricity, magnetism or gravity. So, no worship for me.
Welcome to RF Peter, I'm from a Christian background and became a Baha'i 25+ years ago. Checked out agnosticism, atheism, Hinduism and Buddhism on the way. We all have our stories to tell
