One guy said "for an end to abortion on demand". Then I learned about the ban on contraceptives. I assumed that was ancient history, but nope. Shows how dumb I was I guess.

EDIT: Oh I almost forgot about their belief in Biblical inerrancy, a literal Adam who committed a literal original sin, ... I thought they were more like liberal Christians, but they are more like fundamentalists - only worse.

Can't you like skip that stuff?

RE: Catholicism is crazy too
Fuck me, what a pile of drivel! Isn't God a bit jealous of people worshipping a man in his stead? It's not like he's jesus or something. (I'm jesus).

Yeah religions are cults, and the Catholics seem a bit more obvious about that than most.

Yeah, God helped with evolution. That's why we have such a stupid design I suppose. He helped by doing nothing.

Anyone who thinks Catholicism isn't crazy is a complete utter moron. There are not many institutions in Europe more corrupt than the Catholic church (except maybe for the European Commission and the EU)
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

Oh, he did things...
Things like parasites, which supposedly are part of god's "perfect" plan B (I'm assuming plan A involved humans obeying god, not eating the forbidden fruit and remaining forever in paradise, but maybe he assumed the worst from the start?).

Parasites.
Because how could a world be any good, without things burrowing into children's eyes?...

Oh yeah, he helped screw us up pretty bad. He is welcome to come down and stop all the heinous, pointless suffering in the world, anytime. Or he can lend me the power to do it, I wouldn't be waiting around like this jacking off to worldwide misery. It kills me to know the horrors going on that I can do nothing about.

They are allowed to believe in evolution (guided by God), but they are required to literally believe that God created the first man (Adam) in some way. (If they believe in evolution, they might imagine that God gave a soul to a hominid to instantly transform it from animal to man.) Then Adam committed a sin, and all humans physically inherited both our souls and guilt for that original sin - guilt that makes us deserve to burn in hell for eternity.

Here is a link explaining the Catholic position:

Worshiping saints is a great idea. If you're going to have imaginary friends - have loads...

And think of the merchandising opportunities... Star Wars ain't got sh*t on Catholicism.

And then when the Jehova's Freaks come around telling you about idolatry, fiercely deny it.
