This resonates with me so much. As a young child I already had problems with the Catholic church. I often had heated discussions with my pastor at the time and sometimes drove him crazy. It was even so bad that I was no longer welcome at school during religious education. I was certain that things were not as the Catholic church wanted me to believe. So I have never been a convinced Catholic. In the past I have also studied the Bible, the Torah, the Koran and a number of Buddhist books because I was curious about the truth. In the last decade I seem to find this truth more and more in the Gnostic faith. This does not mean that I now consider myself a member of the Gnostic faith. My faith is Love and Nature is my church, but much of what the Gnostic faith tells me resonates enormously with me, more than what Catholicism, Protestantism, Islam or Judaism tell me. In this respect, Buddhism is closest to the Gnostic faith for me.
