Thought for the day= On religion

Friday on 20/20 there was a story on Independant Baptist Churches and how a parioshner dealt with being raped. I had never heard of this religion before seeing this story on the news and found it to be interesting but the overall story was sad and I feel really bad for the victims of rape and what they had to go through. The whole religion seems kind of strange to me actually. Maybe I just don't know enough about it. I may need to do more research about it. Just for my own reference. In a more general sense I have been considering my own religion for a very long time. I was born and raised Catholic and proud of the religous upbringing that I have and what I have gained from it. I have been seeing the commericals for the Catholics Come Home campaign on tv a lot recently which baiscially encourages Catholics who have been away from church for awhile to start going to church again I don't go to church as often as I used to and feel I should go more often then I do. Prayer has certainly gotten me through a lot of tough times I have had over the past couple years especialy with the way the economy and job searching has been so difficult to deal with. I have mostly been away from the Catholic church for this long a time because of my disgust with the sex abuse scandel and how it was handled. I know I still believe in god for sure but the thing I am confused about is weather or not I want to change religons or still remain Catholic. My goal is figure that out with in the next couple months and then decide where I want to go from there.
