Do we want to be a part of a community and/or do we want to worship with people---these are two different things that may or may not be found together. Thank you for adding this, Kelly.

I don't necessarily need a group to worship with, but I need a group of humans that is somehow part of my life. I remember when I was in Little Rock and attending Quaker Meeting every Sunday, as well as playing bridge a few times a week. Interestingly, when I was sick with the flu for a little over a week, it was members of Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339250623919488760.post-13510240875843256652009-01-08T08:51:00.000-08:002009-01-08T08:51:00.000-08:00Hi, Mary LA and welcome to the happyluau!

I think you've hit the nail on the head here...our beliefs are just one factor that draws us to any specific group...there are SO many other things. <BR/><BR/>This is also true for me about Catholicism---it is not the moral teachings at all, nor even the beliefs that draws me to it, but other factors. <BR/><BR/>Blessings to you,<BR/><BR/>OliviaOliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058356843151306428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339250623919488760.post-30441187568265196732009-01-08T01:54:00.000-08:002009-01-08T01:54:00.000-08:00Hi OliviaI was intrigued by your mention of Cathol...Hi Olivia<BR/><BR/>I was intrigued by your mention of Catholicism (I have always felt very close to the church) so took the quiz. I am a Taoist, neo-pagan inclined to Mahayana Buddhism.<BR/><BR/>THis is a great surprise but as I checked off categories I realise that the appeal of Catholicism to me has nothing to do with its moral teachings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339250623919488760.post-53470775033977550872009-01-07T20:15:00.000-08:002009-01-07T20:15:00.000-08:00Mary, REAL nice silhouette!

You can continue to be very supportive and still have your own beliefs I think.<BR/>I took the quiz and the first match was Neo-paganism. I don't even really know what that is. I had a hard time with a few answers and didn't know what importance to place on a few of them so if I take CrystalChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11778302473630157009noreply@blogger.com
