Actually, I find the history of the Catholic Church very interesting and the reasons why there are "these beliefs" and how they came into being. There is quite a bit of history there.
I also think that our participation in a religious doctrine is a cultural one--American, Familial, Friendship, Collegial, etc. We "feel" a part of something that gives us introspection into our lives to hold our moral barometers in check--not a measurement of God, rather a testimony of His actions working through our lives.
And sometimes, I've gotta catch the "Holy Spirit" with all the hoopin' and hollarin' because that makes me feel closer to Christ at that time...
But rattlesnakes are only as good as they are on my shoes...
Right now, I am probably a big sinner because maybe I'm a hypocrite with my life.
However, somehow, no matter how hard I might think life is to me and tried harder to mess it up for myself, God gets a hold of me and straightens me out.
That to me is being "touched by the Spirit"...
