-There is no God. I have to be given proof to believe in something. I can't make myself believe in God if I have no proof of him. I have been given no proof God exists. Science has proven to us all that matter can be created out of nothing and that God did not create the earth. Matter created life and the earth, not God. -Many priests are child predators and more and more are being discovered. Catholics keep saying it won't happen again, but it keeps happening. -Religion tells you that if you don't follow God's rules, God will cast you to hell and you will suffer forever. What kind of God would rule that way? That's right, no God would. religion tells you stuff that can work to their advantage. -Religion influences people to fight over who's God is better, and those fights turn into wars. -The Vatican holds so much treasure and valuables that could work to help cure cancer or give children in Africa something to eat for dinner. The Vatican holds a large amount of the world's money That money they got through Crusades, killing their enemies, and lying to everyone. -Religion used to crush all their opponents. They would kill scientists who would tell the world facts that humanity wanted to know, but the church killed and mutilated those scientists and lied to cover up their tracks.

Religion isn't, people are and not all of them as bad as you proclaim. I think to attribute everything wrong in the world to religion when you do not believe in God is the ultimate "boogey-man" excuse. But it does give you an opportunity to rant and advance your cause.
2 :
All things involving man contain elements of dishonesty and corruption. No exceptions.
3 :
religion is a waste of time. its really about a RELATIONSHIP with the one TRUE GOD and the ONE SAVIOR Jesus Christ.

OK first off, not all religions or religious leaders are corrupt and dishonest. Second, science has not proved that matter can be created out of nothing. You don't really believe that do you? Pedophiles exist in all walks of life. The church was indeed wrong for covering it up though. Many religions are nonviolent and never encourage fighting or wars. But the Vatican does surely have a responsibility to help with all of that money.

Human Nature is corrupt so every people group will be. Doesn't mean you throw it all away. You kid yourself when you say you need proof. You believe in atoms and molecules and electrons. You can't see them individually but you believe they're there because of evidence. Its the same with God. There is evidence He is there you just choose not to believe. Jesus loves you.

Are you talking about Catholicism?

Let me start with your main question, and if time permits, I'll move on to some of the other issues. The answer is simple. All religions are of man. Man is incapable of being perfect so his theologies and religious dogmas are corrupt. Now that was easy. Lets move on a bit. It is your very own opinion that God does not exist. Don't feel bad as there are many others in the world that feel the same as you. You put all your faith in man and this makes you comfortable. You are probably a young man with little life experience. I can understand this as I a very long time ago was young to. If the existence of god is so important to you that you would take time out of your busy day to drop in here and tell the world how you feel about it, then maybe you have the time to test the world that you trust and put it up against God. Go out into a deserted place with all your comforts. Say two days worth. After that, trust in the world for your survival. Your world will let you down every time. If God sent you to this place, He will meet your every need as is His promise. God is so close to you right now but you can't see Him. Why not give Him a chance. Ask Him for eyes that see.><>end
