What really gets me is the ridiculous ritual with the cracker. When I was young I thought it was a ritual where the wine symbolically represented the blood of "Jesus" and the cracker symbolically represented his body. When I found out that they ACTUALLY BELIEVE that these things TRANSFORM into his blood and body I was shocked. The wine ACTUALLY BECOMES his blood? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? How does this happen? Because the pedophile - I mean priest - says some magic words? When you get right down to it, the church involves itself with cannibalism and drinking blood! Could a coven of witches do any worse?
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
