    Okay. Guess you’re wondering what the big deal is about the Epstein Files?

    The Catholic Church makes Epstein and all of the pedos involved look like JV league amateurs.

    I’m really not sure what you expected asking this question in your post. The Catholic Church deserves every bit of hate and more than it currently receives.

    I was raised Catholic. Fuck the Catholic Church

        Lmao, you can’t be fucking serious. Not gonna spend any more time here explaining this but will leave this

        If you’re actually this naïve, try perusing the references located at the bottom of this page. However, I suspect you will discredit it in some manner. Or try to brush off the 165+ sources describing exactly what everybody else is saying here.

        A bit of advice? Just accept the fact that the Catholic Church has been fucking little boys in the ass for centuries. This will make it easier for you moving forward, because this topic is absolutely common knowledge.

            It’s just an objective oberservation. No matter if someone tells me they have magical powers, have seen unicorns or believe in god: All of that is stupid and proves something is wrong with you.

                    You know that blood samples appearing where there are biological creatures around is not scientific evidence for a miracle right?

                    There’s a lot more needed to prove something scientifically.

                    But to get back to your question: I think a lot of the hate comes from (excluding the kiddy diddling) the exclusion of doubt. There’s a lot not yet explained in this world. And we as a society are at the point where everything unexplained doesn’t have to be explained to be “Devine” instead. There is so much knowledge we have collected as a species that makes a lot of biblical stories fantasy.

                    Religion probably was created as an explanation for the unexplained. We see this even more clearly in pagan religions, by them having a god for literally everything. But Christianity and other monotheistic religions are no exception.

                    Also religion was used to keep plebians in check. Rules were meant to be broken, but since breaking religious rules will have you burn for eternity, there is an incentive to do “right”.

                    Religion was also historically used as the basis for most wars. WW2 is one of the more extreme examples where people of certain religions were view as subhuman. And this is literally used again by Israel today.

                    These are my reasons for not being theistic.
