Really?  I can follow Islam and I can follow Roman Catholicism at the same time?  How’s that work?

That's a false choice presented by your fellow humans, not God.   Indeed, Christians,  Jews and Muslims all believe in the same Abrahamic God.  The differences all pertain to earthly concerns such as dogma, details of worship and how fiercely one is obliged to convert or subjugate followers of other dogmas.   

God would be a lot easier to know if it weren't for religion.

Glad to see you got the joke. I was trying to goad you into an argument, but it did not work.
This is for you...

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

So, those who don't have any religion (they're "spiritual") know God well?

Oh, I don't know about that.   I had a Christian upbringing,  and never lost my faith in Jesus Christ.  Christianity is certainly the context in which I approach God.  But I don't buy into the demand that one is doomed unless one believes in Christ, and, while religion is a useful context for approaching God,  I don't accept that membership in a religious community is necessary or essential.  Adherence to the golden rule is, I understand, a tenet of most if not all of the world's religions, but it is also a conclusion one can reach by means of logic.   

Some folks feel the need to be religious in order to ensure they're "saved" -  I guess that the logic behind Pascal's wager.   But the hope of salvation in the "next" world isn't what's important, IMO - it is the attainment of inner peace and enlightenment in THIS world that is the tangible good that one can strive for, and achieve.

Some people will argue about anything just to show people they are a fool.

I used to think I should risk looking like a fool by not speaking than removing all doubt by saying stuff.

The web may not have created fools but it certainly turned a huge number of borderline idiots into full on fools.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

That would certainly be in line with Catholic Doctrine.... 888mouth
