I was posting on a Catholic forum at the beginning of this year, but I had to quit, because my desire to argue against their rigid beliefs conflicted with my desire to be respectful. The more I learned about Catholicism, the more frustrated I became. I can totally relate to the OP.
I'm also frustrated in my day-to-day life. My 70 year old mother is a very devout Christian. My brother and his wife and children are Christians. My sister and her husband are active Christians. I feel like I need to pretend to be a Christian for my mother's sake, and it is frustrating.
It's like being surrounded by people who believe in Santa Claus, but you are the one who needs to tip toe around their delusions.
