Very well.
It all boils down to If there is a benevolent God, the religious messages we see from all the world's religions cannot have come from such a God.

Psychological entrapment? That's a funny way of putting it.

Ouch.

Great point. You really showed the atheists on that one.

Well, it was said in reference to the implied claim the sole reason priests molest mostly boys is because of accessibility.  That claim, of course is ridiculous.  The few molesting priests were overwhelmingly gay.

The RCC messages come from God.  However some alleged Catholics say stuff that does not.

It's a lie, of course, that Cardinal Burke hates gays.  I guess leftwingers make that claim because gay sex is an abomination, and this man stands up for what is right.

"Gay sex is an abomination"...

According to an organisation that has actively supported, condoned, and perpetuated torture, genocide, murder, and many other crimes.

And no, it's not a lie that Burke hates gay people.
