That's another thing they like, forgivness.
I don't care if the church lead crusades against the east back before anybody here was alive, there not doing that today.
Not what I'm talking about.
The wost thing the church does is tell homosexual people that they are sinners for the way that there god made them (But most are smart enough to see through this)
Can you even
imagine the emotional torment that would bring to a homosexual raised catholic? I certainly can't. To wake up every day with deeply ingraned thoughts that you are a horrible and evil individual just because of how you are? That is by no means alright.
and that any sex before marrage is wrong, so don't use a comdom (And granted one way spreads STIs and the other is bad for your emotional state, when was the last time teenage kids cared about god?)
There are people who continue to have children that they cannot feed and contract HIV in impovershed nations heavily influenced by the Roman Catholic Church, all because the Pope says that condoms are bad. I have no sympathy for an organization that specifically creates such problems in the name of ideological purity.
I don't think it is possible to count the number of people that don't do bad things for fear of devine retribution. If you are a prick, you get stuck by lightning, and people belive it! It's so perfect!
If anyone refrians from doing bad things only because they fear their god, then they have much bigger problems than religious indoctrination. Plus, the Vatican has other problems. You know, that whole
covering up rampant child molestation thing?I like religen, because religen says that bad things happen to bad people, so people try to be good.
That's just about it.
Guess what. Bad things also happen to good people. The "good" that these people try to be is whatever their religion says is good, which it doesn't have to actually be.
You come off as an old man sitting by a window shaking his fist at the local church.
I'm quite young, actually.
I've never heard a a Christian trying to weasel out of admitting there is bad stuff in the Bible. Ever.
Then you don't know the christians I know.
Not only that but what you mean by "bad stuff" is quite vague.
I could make a list, but there's already one
here that shows the sort of stuff I'm talking about. (Not all of the catagories though, use your judgement.)
