If you were to convert....

[TJ in Oregon]

1. Eastern Orthodox (I am Catholic)
2. Atheism (not listed because one does not "convert" but still more likely for me than the other options)

1. I have always thought that there can only be at most one true religion and that if it lies withing Christianity it could hardly be somthing that started in the 16th century (or later) but should be something that can at least be traced back to Christ. I know some Protestants will claim that Catholicism wasn't founded by Christ, but I sure don't think Lutheranism was either, or Presbyterianism, or Methodism, etc. But with the Eastern Orthodox, well, who really knows what happened in the 11th century? I highly doubt I'd convert to anything, but if I did, Eastern Orthodox would be the most likely.

2. If I ever lost my Catholic faith, I bet I'd lose hope for religion all together. If everything I've ever believed was a lie I don't think I could ever trust any new (for me) set of beliefs either. I could see myself going through some sort of depressive rebellion ending up an atheist before I could see myself converting to a non-Christian religion (other than possibly Judaism).
