You don't seem to like the anti-religion posts, yet you come onto an atheist forum, I don't know what you're supposed to expect. Everyone being completely peachy towards religion. No, we have legitimate criticisms, and you act like these bad things don't occur in religion of the world, or act like you've never heard of someone using religion for immoral reasons. I know you're not one of these evil goofs in the world. It's nice to have a kind theist here, but I'm not the only one to notice this ongoing act of cluelessness. I've seen many posts on here, with people debating you, and many good points were made, and it's like they're forgotten or something. It's like everyone is completely wasting their words with you (which is practically every theist on here), that actually would like you to see how clearly made-up this stuff is, and you don't give it a second thought. Which is fine, you're allowed to, but don't act like, "Oh, my gosh, people persecute people in the name of religion, no way??" "There's evil in the bible, and the catholic church promotes immoral acts, according to free-thinking individuals? I've never heard of anything like that in my life.." Not actual quotes, but you get the idea, hopefully. Someone needs to say something. Even, if you think about some of the things people are arguing against regarding your position, good for you, if that's actually happening. Even, if you don't come to the same conclusions, ok, not everyone is going to see what we see, but come on... A few of us have noticed this cluelessness on your view of what catholicism and christianity can do in the world.
