| Well, since I started a completely useless topic, I decided to use the space to complain about something that has been bugging me. I am/was a Catholic. I mean I was born into the faith. I never really liked it, especially since I went to years of Catholic School. This whole priest touching thing has really made me think about how stupid the whole thing is. I mean I sorta believe in God, but organized religion sucks. There are so many holes. Like how can I be happy in heaven if I know someone burning in hell? If anger is a sin, why wasn't it a sin when Jesus went psycho at the temple? All this shit makes me think. The real pisser is that when the Church losses these lawsuits, the money is going to come out of the stupid follower's offerings every week. PAying for a crime they were tricked into helping by thousands of years of brain washing. I don't know. Does anyone else hate their religion too or am I just nuts.

| I've been to church before, but it was usually one of those nondenominational ones. Sometimes it's intersting, sometimes it isn't.
I've always believed that you can be a good person without religion, and any nonexistential ideas that guide your life are valid and good, except for violent things, even if I don't personally follow your line of thinking.
Use all your well-learned politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste.

| I think the important thing is to keep the faith in the religion, not always the faith in the institution. There have been a few severe dark spots on the Catholic Church in the past, albiet this is probably the most severe contextually. In the sixteenth century, the Catholic Church sold indulgences relentlessly to pay for the construction of St. Peters. And in this century, the Church didn't look too good when they stuck by their guns of asserting that the world was created in 4004 B.C. I am still proud to be Roman Catholic, even though one of the former priests in my church has been accused of such horrific crimes. I still have faith in God and the like, and no instution can change my or should change anyone's minds about that.

I respect that 100%. If you believe in it, do it. It's very true that instituition have taken God's name and made it it's own. Fuck those people. Our #1 priority is to care for our neighbor. After that it is all up to interpreting. I have views, as does everyone. Isn't just loving God enough?

| It always has, and always will be a question of faith. Remember the instution is there as a support, it is still up to the indvidual how he leads his life.
