And this is Religion for you

The existence of God can never be truly proven nor proven as to not being real

Fair enough but you cannot really shove it down anyone's throat, especially on a site like this where it is easy for people to ignore you if they wish.

The best you can hope for is that someone chooses to read what you post and make up their own minds.

As for your headline continuation, are they the people who preached to us? No doubt they are to some but not all are like that so who really knows.

It is up to you what you believe or don't, just don't use what individuals do to blacken any group. The Catholics aren't to blame for what their priests do, though they are responsible for what they let them get away with. That is far from fair or just.

However with all there evidence there is for teh existence of God I often wonder how, even with Satan's veil in front of their eyes meo people can't see it. Still, that's between them and God.

What did I just say. If people read what I wrote, I think everyone would be agreeing with me by now. Jeeez.



Yeah, knowledge, faith and blind faith--and knowing what's the difference.



There you go, off into the woods attacking the easy target, revealed religions, and ignoring the rational possibilities. What are you after, cheap shots and mindless kicks.....or Truth?

@Demented Said

I probably SHOULD have done this with the original post,but alas I neglected to and it looks like the words are mine,although I stand behind what I've said about the Catholic Church.

@MadCornishBiker Said

Yes I have to agree about the Catholic Church but my point still stands. They are not guilty of the abuse, but their guilt comes in when they try to cover it up and simply move guilty priests from one parish to another.

That is their guilt and it makes them as guilty of allowing later abuses to be committed, as the perpetrator is of committing them.

This is more the fault of organised religion imo. The hierarchy of these kind of faiths allow things like this to happen as it's open to corruption. Not just true of the Catholic Church though (but the fact that it has so much power and has for a very long time probably doesn't make it any easier).

@Demented Said

Nice bit of patch working you've done there

@ThePainefulTruth Said

Patchwork my ass. It's what I've been saying since I've been here.

I chose to read what you posted and made up my own mind.

The line for the lake of fire forms to the right. Please queue up and wait patiently for your turn to wade in, as you fail at christianity.

@Demented Said

Oh, sorry I missed what you were getting at.
