I'm convinced that if Christianity is true then Catholicism is the original. I haven't been praying though, tend to be scrupulous, and worry about worthiness for communion. I know that avoiding communion and confession will lead to drifting out of the Church but I just don't want to care. In the past I've used religion to justify my own fears and more or less hold myself back. Not sure the reason for this. I no longer believe the errors of my Protestant childhood and rejection of faith in general seems the most logical course to take - not that I intend too or intend not too. It's easier not to care really and if "faith" played no role in my decision making process I could just be free - and rational. The only catch is that I would definitely go to hell. How does one get out of themselves to care again? How does one regain faith?
P.S. Part of the general apathy may be frustration with life, but then that falls into using religion to justify aimlessness. Also, I hold a lot of anger toward the teachings of the Protestant "Reformation".
