I don't believe it because it's written. Words must always be interpreted and they must always be abstractions of reality.

because it doesn't appeal to me. I'm not saying I pick and choose, but I don't find what it says to be in almost any way relevant.

Pretty much faith. Honestly, I don't hate atheists for not believeing in God, I only hate atheists who laugh at people who believe in God. I can respect someone's view on something, but there is no need to go out of one's way to say "YOU think wrong, faith is nonexistent and there is cold hard proof God does NOT exist." Personally, you could write a ten page thesis and I would simply just say, "You may be right, but you can't disprove my faith." And that's what separates atheists and believers. The problem is that it is common misconceived that all Catholics hate atheists. I know a ton of them, and they just keep to themselves, and I respect that, I don't go out forcing people to believe in God.

t's the people that matters. Christians, muslims, etc also try to "shove" their beliefs down your throat, it all depends on the individual, not their beliefs.

Everyone says "faith", but what does that mean, that you believe in God. It's a revolving logic, is it not? Now I'm a Christian fyi. 
Personally, I believe faith means that you are capable of believing in something that cannot be proved. But that's just me.

I agree with you, it is the person that matters. I seems these days that the power for Catholics lies in the Church. I am a Catholic, but I personally can't stand the Church. They make inferences from the Bible and use these inferences to make laws, such as celibacy. No where in the Bible does it EVER mention if masturbation is wrong, but it seems the Church believes it is wrong. This is why I live by the Bible, not by the Church. The Church is also the one responsible for the stereotype that ALL Catholics try to shove religion down your throat. I have never done that before and have a few atheists friends and family members.
