Oh, do tell. Which catholic doctrines 'reinforce alot of the atheist views of God'?
You don't ever answer the question, do you? What is a non-singular perspective of god? I addressed a bible teaching church (the ONE true way taught by others that after investigation you chose or were simply indocrinated in) or biblical self discovery as both still singular. You still have yet to give what you mean by a non-singular or complete understanding of god. Just because you can parse and attack a very limited portion of someone's reply and comment doesn't mean that you have actually provided and answer to the original question.
Are you suggesting that the catholic church doesn't teach the bible? What exactly is a bible teaching chuch? Do all bible teaching churches agree on all matters of theology?

Are you seriously positing that the reason that I have to make a decision in all matters of my existence is because of your creator's abiguity? I now have a vision of a less than curious eight year old holding a magnifying glass next to an ant hill on a bright sunny day. This child then concludes that if an ant turns left it will be incinerated, but if it turns right he will place it in a shoe-box to be carried off with all other right-turning ants to be placed on his night stand. The child likes the noise thinking that the surviving ants are worshiping him as their savior never knowing that they are just all scrambling to get out of the damn box.
