"those kind of girls" whom you wish to see pictures of are like so much tinsel and brass compared to the real beauty I posted.

How many catholic priests does it take to change a light-bulb?
All of 'em. One - to screw a prepubescent child's ar*e and the rest to cover it up, all the while claiming moral authority...

You have some doubts about your faith? Ever think it's because you believe in things that don't make sense, because it's all a bunch of crap made up by people who want to control the masses? Think about it. If you can.

Do visuals like the ones you posted help you have faith, make you feel good about your faith or both?
Would you find it surprising if I told you I find the lamb and the Mary picures sickeningly sweet and the heart and Jesus pictures fascinatingly repellant?
I do enjoy some Christian art. But it doesn't make me believe anything anymore than Hindu art makes me believe in Hinduism.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

It's official! I am a Roman Catholic, but with some doubts about my faith .
At it's heart Roman Catholicism is about Jesus' Great love for us! 
Here are a few visuals to help you think of Christ's love:

Any thoughts? Questions? Concerns?
I am more than happy to answer them!  On a scale of 1 to 10, in terms of the general accuracy of their statements, how much trust would you place in:
The Bible, generally
Jesus, specifically
The Doctors of the Church
Thomas Aquinas
The Pope
He who loves God cannot endeavour that God should love him in return - Baruch Spinoza

Why do you believe in whatever it is that you believe?
What was the reasoning that got you to believe?

Probably something along the lines of:

No need to apologize. I just don't want people to think he is actually being serious.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

How can you tell when it comes to catholicism?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
