Well, the opposite of love isn't hate. It's indifference. Atheism in my eyes, is really little more than an indifference to religion and whether or not a god exists. There is a thread here, a sticky I think? That describes the distinctions between atheism and agnosticism, subtle nuances etc.
Regarding the priest scandal. The Catholic faith didn't create pedophile priests, it rather hid them and their crimes. I believe those priests were pedophiles prior to entering the seminary.
The Catholic Church shouldn't have protected them. What it shows is that religion is a cult that protects its own over doing what is right. In this case, so it wouldn't lose membership with Catholics and tarnish its "image."
Okay Ghandi!
So you don't hate anyone? Well, you're ahead of 99% of Christians! I sometimes hate God, so you'll get to Heaven ahead of me.
1 John 4 love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love...12 if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. 16 God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
Apparently you have God abiding within and you have been born of God lol. Y
Those Bishops are absolutely evil. Now the protocal that Bishops have to take is that any priest who is accused of sexual impropriety must immediately have his faculties removed and be placed under investigation until provin innocent.
St. Padre Pio lost His faculties and was basically in solitary confinement for 10 years because of being accussed of acting out sexually. Turns out He was innocent.

I don't even hate religion. I just think its wholly unnecessary to living a good life. Frankly, it's not necessary to believing in a god.
:-)
No one knows if there is a God or not? Those were your words. You're such a weak atheist.
You're agnostic.I didn't ask you if you hated Religion but said you have a repugnance for it. But I'm truly edified that there is no hatred there. Do you have a bad bone in your body?
Does the 32 near your name mean you are 32 years Old?
Actually that's silly cuz then you'd have to change your name every year for the number to be accurate.
Also, you would know I was a believer if you read my signiture or my thread on Marian apparitions.
