Disagree. The 400m relay race is pretty important.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

They only mocked religion, they didn't condemn them to hell fire!

Catholicism's rules are strict but totally fair and just. People would do well to conduct themselves with a bit more decorum.

There is nothing just in punishing people for homosexuality, abortions, and having children out of wedlock; all while protecting pedophiles and performing human trafficking.

I was watching the new documentary about Billy Joel and here's a part when he was bullied by the Catholic Church

The bullying backfired in a truly spectacular (and hilarious) fashion. The ban spiked sales so much, Joel wrote the archdiocese and asked them to ban his next record.

Only the Good Die Young
Song by
Billy Joel
Come out, Virginia, don't let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
Aw, but sooner or later, it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one
Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
Aw, but they never told you the price that you'd pay
For things that you might have done
Only the good die young
That's what I said
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
You might-a heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain't too pretty, we ain't too proud
We might be laughing a bit too loud
Aw, but that never hurt no one
So come on, Virginia, show me the sign
Send up a signal, I'll throw you the line
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
Never lets in the sun
Darlin', only the good die young
Ooh-whoa, whoa, whoa-oh
I tell you only the good die young
Only the good die young
You've got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
You've got a brand-new soul, mm, and a cross of gold
But, Virginia, they didn't give you quite enough information
You didn't count on me
When you were countin' on your rosary, oh, whoa, whoa
And they say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better, but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
The sinners are much more fun
You know that only the good die young
Oh-oh, oh, baby
I tell ya, only the good die young
Only the good die young
You said your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation
Aw, she never cared for me
But did she ever say a prayer for me?
Oh-whoa, whoa
Come out, come out, come out Virginia, don't let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
But sooner or later, it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one
You know that only the good die young
Tell ya, baby
You know that only the good die young
Only the good die young
Only the good
Only the good die young
Ooh-hoo, hoo, ooh-hoo
Ooh-ooh, hoo, ooh
Ooh-hoo, hoo, ooh-hoo
Ooh-ooh, hoo, ooh
Ooh-hoo, hoo, ooh-hoo
Ooh-ooh, hoo, ooh
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
Ooh-ooh, hoo, ooh-hoo
Looks to my as though Billy Joel told the Catholic chuch what he thought...in grand form.
