Recovering Catholics

[depechebox]

---

maybe some of you are familiar with Tom Araya.. vocalist sa Slayer.. he is also a Catholic.. a practicing Catholic..

Araya commented about the misconception of the band labeled as Satan worshipers, "Yeah, yeah I think that’s one of the biggest misconceptions towards the band, but next to that just the fact that we’re normal." If guitarist King writes a good song, Araya puts his beliefs aside, "I'm not one that's going to go, 'This sucks because it's contrary to my beliefs.' To me it's more like 'this is really good stuff. You're going to piss people off with this.'"[9]

In an interview, Araya believes that "...Christ came and taught us about love, about doing unto others. That was his preach: Accept each other for who we are. Live peacefully, and love one another." When asked if he believed in God, replied "I believe in a supreme being, yeah. But He's an all-loving God."[10] Araya explained that he has a "really strong belief system," and Slayer's words and images will "never interfere with what I believe and how I feel.... People are not in good shape to where they have to question their own belief system because of a book or a story somebody wrote, or a Slayer song."[9] Tom Araya also appeared in Sam Dunn's documentary Metal: A Headbanger's Journey, and was asked about his religious background, to which he commented "Catholic." He was also asked "God Hates Us All, How does it fit in?" To which Araya replied "God doesn't hate. [But] it's a great ****ing title."

one thing na ako ni gi example si Tom kay if you're a true believer dili naka ma distract, focus kaayo ka then dili ka mo judge..

kay ang Ginoo ra ang naay katungod mo husga sa ato.

I'm glad nga naay mga recovering Catholics. Be reminded nga ang Roman Catholic Apostolic Church mao nay the one and only church nga founded by Jesus Christ.

The Roman Catholic Church has its dark side and good side. I would rather focus on the good side for it produced lots of SAINTS and MARTYRS and MYSTICS!

No its not only by name but by Jesus Christ himself. It is in the bible. Only the Roman Catholic church can trace its roots to St. Peter. Other churches can trace its roots to St. Peter.

Hmmm...

I was born Catholic. I lost it when I got to high school and faced typical adolescent issues. I started to regain it by reading The Road Less Traveled; and after joining Singles For Christ, my life changed dramatically.
