He maintained that human reasoningis inheritently contradictory. So true to have a Catholic make this claim. ie. no miracles allowed.

Then I realized they just posted 1000s of times and it was no reflection of virtue.<br /><br />I was reading over James Fowler's Stages of Faith today. Most people get stuck at Stage III, Synthetic Conventional. CAF is definitely stuck here. Here is the description: Most people move on to this stage as teenagers. At this point, their life has grown to include several different social circles and there is a need to pull it all together. When this happens, a person usually adopts some sort of all-encompassing belief system. However, at this stage, people tend to have a hard time seeing outside their box and don't recognize that they are "inside" a belief system. At this stage, authority is usually placed in individuals or groups that represent one's beliefs. [This is the stage in which many people remain.] this stage people rely on some sort of institution (such as a church) to give them stability. They become attached to the forms of their religion and get extremely upset when these are called into question. <br /><br />http://www.psychologycharts.com/james-fowler-stages-of-faith.html<br /><br />The dynamics at CAF are an interesting sociological, psychological study.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502249719401400438.post-63169181699446795232015-06-09T09:16:53.589-06:002015-06-09T09:16:53.589-06:00This infuriated a couple of posters in particular ...<b>This infuriated a couple of posters in particular who I am sure we're going to make sure I was banned.

Certain opinions and posters are repressed and hounded off the forum. These posters are like "unofficial moderators" and the mods count on them to report people who need to "have an eye kept on them." When I was active there, I had an offline friendship with one of them. <br /><br />Once you are targeted, you either tow the company line or you will be banned.

I want ...I appreciate your post and agree with it.<br /><br />I want to share some thoughts on the comment above. I've pray long and hard about "expressing my conscience only to my superior" I have at times practiced it. However, I've seen marriages be damaged by legalistic teaching regarding married sexuality. I can no longer be silent about it. It bothered my conscience too much to continue to keep silent. At CAF any hint of questioning or dissent is met with enormous backlash. I was sincere. I was honest. I searched and I read and I prayed. This infuriated a couple of posters in particular who I am sure we're going to make sure I was banned. I was intrigued by the way they followed me around on this issue and how I infuriated they got by my honesty and questioning. <br /><br />I am not willing to do silence anymore. Not after I have seen the damage legalism does. <br /><br />Again, I felt relief when I was banned. I needed to stop drinking at toxic wells.
