Reasons

[fr0d0]

Mostly Catholicism is precisely NOT Christianity IMO, and that's the opinion of every Christian I know, and every Christian I empathise with.

Yes I've heard other cults say that ... I would like to hear some kind of reasoned justification outside of some kind of innate prejudice.

These things aren't biblical and aren't accepted by the wider church:

• Interercession of saints
  
• Mary as God/ Praying to Mary
  
• Worship of Idols & Idols in Church
  
• Priests as intermediaries for God
  
• The pope is a descendant of Peter
  
• That Peter was ever meant to lead the church
  
• That the Pope is the head of the church
  

Just a few things off the top of my head.

Not everyone else agrees with you. People here, none of them agreeing with my beliefs, think there's error on both sides. All I can say is that from my POV, I am being truthful. I try to see your POV, and I ask for clarification.

Who exactly has agreed with you then?

Kyu

Demonaura, Adrian and thoughtful I think.

As Dawkins says...its important to be open-minded but not so open-minded that your brains drop out.

That's a good excuse for not being open minded isn't it? Or to limit your open mindedness.

All that wordplay aside, you're saying then that you refuse to think about anything which doesn't concern itself with hard physical fact? I don't think Dawkins would be with you there.
