I used to teach sunday school. I am no strangers to being around catholics, or the religion itself.

It is just after the bishop raped my sunday school classmate. Then me going over to my priests house for bible study one night Only for him to take my other friend upstairs alone for "private lessons" (rape).

I lost my faith.

It has been beyond challenging for me to rediscover it under any uniform religion. I started exploring so many over the years. None could comfort me.

Then moved onto philosophy and settled on Stoicism. Which helps to guide my life, but after growing up a christian and still believing in a lot of morals, ethics, lessons, and traditions....

I am very much a lost soul right now.

Stoicism and Christianity are very similar, of course, in their attitude toward hardship and moderation etc., but Christianity is always life-affirming. We don't double-dog-dare people to drink hemlock and that sort of thing. The Stoics went a bit ad absurdum on that one, IMO.
