Ask a Catholic

[nihilistcat]

He wouldn't want to know we all secretly worship satan and wear black robes and on the weekend have secret atheist meetings plotting to take over heaven
and let satan rule over everyone's souls.

He already knows that. After all, we're all angry at his pet god after the abuses we suffered as children.

I so hate the "angry at god" crap that we're so often accused of ... I mean, if the obvious contradiction of being angry at something that we don't think exists isn't enough, how about this. Why would a god have to be benevolent? I mean, that doesn't seems to be an argument against the existence of god (although it may be an argument against the reasonableness of worshiping such a being). Surely, a malevolent god is just as plausible as a benevolent god, in fact I would say more so. If we were created in god's image, then it would stand to reason that god is just as selfish, violent, and self-interested as we are (and when I read the buy-bull ... that is precisely my impression)

But I'm just as skeptical when it comes to new age (peace and love) type religiosity as I am with conventional religion. Bullshit is bullshit, whether pleasant and dressed up with swirling lollipops and flowers or not.
