None of what you posted about why you don’t like Catholocism is true. Well, actually your argument against childhood baptism makes an interesting point, but the rest is myth and rumor. Tell me where in RC doctrine it says I’m not worthy to talk directly to God.

However, the sale of indulgences ended in 1567. It’s been 500 years. Yes, we have a ritual for having our sins forgiven but that doesn’t mean that we can’t pray to God directly. > > If you’re going to bitch about others being open minded you might want to try it yourself. > > Oh, and if you’re trying to maintain validity in a theological discussion, you might want to refrain from claims like “carbon dating has been proven false.” > > [http://science.howstuffworks.com/carbon-14.htm](http://science.howstuffworks.com/carbon-14.htm) > > Well, I’ve said my piece. It’s nice to see other young people who can at least see the good in religion, and some even have faith themselves. Yeah both my parents were raised catholic…I know nothing about it :bloated:. When my father was young and his parents got a divorce but were too poor to pay the church for an anunulment, they use to use him as an example to the other kids saying if you dont pay the church you’re going to hell like John’s parents. Tell me that is not fucked up. I disagree with Confession because you are accountable to God and God only. You do not have to redirect your thoughts to a priest because he is holier than you. Also, the repetition in Catholic prayers (hail Marys etc) are stupid. The bible says “pray in this fashion”, meaning to pray like that, not repeat everything it until you are forgiven. If you truly believe the bible you would know that one need only ask god for forgiveness and he is forgiven. Not repeat a phrase a certain number of times based on the sin. And the whole priest telling you “say 40 hail marys and do this and you are forgiven” is not right. Again, just read the bible, and you will see the hypocrisy in Catholicism. It has been turned into a comercial religion instead of being what it should be, somewhere to go to share your faith with other and worship. period. Your personal faith with god is all you need to attend church, not how much money you can give to be forgiven and buy your way into heaven. That is my biggest beef with Catholocism. They have adapted to so many other’s beliefs to spread that it has tarnished the image of what Christianity should be and what it stands for. No matter your race, social status or what you have done in your past, you are all the SAME in God’s eyes and only answer to him. So yeah I know nothing about Catholocism :ham:. I know quite a bit my friend. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/so-you-guys-rememebr-hearing-about-the-chapel-right/19669)._
