Catholic leaders issue sharp warning on pope after he embraces gay unions

…religion con…

’to each their own’

[XavierOnassis]

I was a convert to Catholicism in my twenties, practiced it faithfully for ten years or so, and then began to question whether it made any kind of sense that a supernatural being powerful enough to create the universe would have any interest in what human beings ate, who they were or weren't attracted to, etc. - the picayune details of the lives of a single species on one planet in perhaps billions. The very idea that people were somehow so tremendously superior to every other creature with whom we share the planet began to strike me as extremely self-serving, and all the theists' arguments began to appear as circular and shallow. Religious belief is, in my present view, a comforting fiction that fulfills an individual's need to feel important and to feel as though they have answers that others do not, and that helps them not to panic or be depressed by the contemplation of their own personal extinction.

The basic aim of most religions is to install the religious belief in a child's mind before he is capable of reason.
The Unitarian view and the Baha'i view are okay with reason. Perhaps Parsis also are okay with it.
But the Roman Catholics are very much against critical thinking about God, sin and the importance church attendance and donations.
