Ask Victor..... (priests, beliefs, myths, sin, faith)

[Victor]

I'm sorta of late with this whole "ask" trend but had a couple people show interest in knowing what makes Victor tick so here I am. I always figured my posts showed a part of who I am but that doesn't quite capture the full picture for most.

Ask away...

Okay, so you seem to be secure in your beliefs but you easily dismiss beliefs that contradict yours. Do you find this problematic, or at best, do you think you don't know it all?

Edit: yeah, it's a leading question.

Double edit: hey, maybe I should start one of these threads too.

What do you do for exercise and why? What shows do you watch on tv and why?

This may turn into personal growth, if this continues. Tell me, what made you come to this conclusion of me? There isn't many forums I haven't visited or posed a question in.

One thing I am confident in is "I don't know it all". The day I do think this, I have forgotten what my faith is about.

I like to think that most things I don't agree with I have put much thought into it. So I can't see why this would be problematic unless I consistantly misunderstand people's position. Which I don't think I do often.

Don't do as much as I used to but currently play basketball with co-workers every Wednesday. Does chasing my kids count?

HOUSE is about the only show I really watch. I am attracted to his intelligence and how he rationalizes situations.

On topics of faith you are right in there representing a very firm Catholic belief that I've seen in others, namely priests. I admire that, especially as I don't quite understand it, but I recognize in it elements of the myths.

You certainly are diplomatic. I hope you never do encounter problems in your diplomacy.

Okay, what is the the worst sin you've ever committed?

What do you think could be a possible problem in your estimation?
