 indeed, i'm getting the gist of that but i definitely am not going to a Catholic church, the idolatry is too offensive to me

so, yeah, good point, probably best to just see what's around near where i find myself and try them out, and go with what the spirit tells

 Yeah, the idolatry... So much idolatry. Its more than the statues for the Catholics and the bad art of the Orthodox - giving authority to {anything} is idolatry. 

When it comes to teaching, the big unsaid question is - how do you evoke the knife's edge of rationality, such that it leads to faith?

And I always point out that faith isn't belief. Those two words lead in different directions.
