@Corn: As for as denominations go, yes, they're all Christian. They believe the same basic things with different emphasis placed on different parts of Christianity. Some emphasize the fall of man, others God's infinite mercy, etc, etc. As far as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam goes, no. The Jewish God and the Christian God is the same God, but the Islamic God, from what I understand--which is not much, I admit--is a fire-and-brimstone, wrathful, vengeful, severe, worship me or die kinda Guy. Think Old Testament. It seems to be a very peaceful religion in which everyone strives to be the best person they can be and I've met several Muslims who are some of the most friendly people on earth, so please don't think I'm bashing them, because I'm not, this is just my understanding of it.
And, yeah, Catholics have always had a bit of a superiority complex because we're the oldest denomination of Christianity, founded by Jesus Christ Himself, and blah blah blah. Probably nothing you haven't already heard before. :P I will say that I do prefer Catholicism to other denominations of Christianity because it's such an intricate and complex organization, complete with concrete interpretations, and I just like that so much thought was put into it, you know?
But yeah... People will be people.

Lute: Definitely.

Oy. Just realized for the second time how miraculous it is that my parents got married and stayed together this long.

On my dads side of the family: flaming liberal, feminist, modern art snobs.

On my moms side: staunch, blue collar, traditional Catholics.

For the most part anyway. There are a few exceptions on both sides, but you get the general idea.
I'm not going to say completely different worlds, because my mom and dad do have several things in common in their backgrounds: Both came from big families, both were raised Catholic, and both were never wealthy growing up.

And they get along great. It's just that sometimes life happens.

Like today. On facebook, my aunt Cathy posted a wallpost burning my mom for supporting traditional marriage and being a total lemming where the church was concerned and calling her a priest-worshipper and a sheep and all this other shit. In a way, this is understandable because she's always hated the Church with a passion because her dad pretty much shoved it down her throat when she was younger and didn't leave her room to think for herself, so now she's got all this bitterness and anger towards it and it's just... *sigh*

But on the other end, if half my Catholic friends knew my opinions on some of the things the Church does, they'd probably think I was a total heathen. (Well, maybe not TOTAL, but...)

It's just such a double-bind. When you're an atheist, you get bashed by Christians. When you're a Christian, you get bashed by atheists. Really can't win one way or another.

And on a completely seperate note, with all the prejudices out there, why even bother posting anything on Facebook anymore? You could post song lyrics and you're bound to piss somebody off. I guess it's okay if you don't mind people biting your head off, but I kinda do. >.>

Shit. Just realized I made this whole thing about me. Sorry. DX My brains been slowly dying all Summer.

I guess, you know, I just feel torn... Part of growing up, I guess.
