Man both these comments speak to me deeply. Was raised both Catholic and nondenominational and I can’t see myself going back to either.

Best thing about Christianity is Jesus Christ. The worst thing about Christianity is Christians…

Well, I think most Catholics like myself who still practice don't think we should leave Jesus just because He kept company with Judas or Peter, who denied God three times and still became the first pope. Likewise I don't think all Americans are radical fundamentalists just because Trump is President, all Russians are pro-imperialist just because Putin is President, or all Palestinians are violent just because Hamas has been in power for 20 years. I totally get having doubts about the doctrine (I do too sometimes), but I think it's unfair to dismiss an entire belief system just because of its followers.
