[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pain

Abuse Catholic Church.
Abortion issue watching my mother and neighborhood women suffer needlessly in the name of Pro Life, clearly they are not pro life.
Domestic Violence. Violence against children.
Protection of Priests that abused family members by the Catholic Church.
Now as an adult seeing it through adult eyes it sickens me the Church is still paying for lawyers to support Priests who abused children over the children.
Opus Dei also horrifying. How women are treated. 
There are so many things in the church that people just ignore hypocrites. I grew up in a very Catholic area. There were no other religions that I knew of as a child  everyone was Catholic 10 -14 kids were the norm. By HS then more diverse area but still predominately Catholic. Cheating husbands the norm but they went to confession weekly so hey all good right?

Lucky for me my father was a reader and he loved learning he sent us to public school instead of the local Catholic school after 5th grade. He was done with the protection of priests he could not stomach it. My mother the staunch Catholic was always a believer.

Given where we are in the world today all the hate spewing children being affected by religion daily not just Catholics and not in a good way. I see religion as nothing good. The excuses people make who are religious for the bad behavior of others is absurd.

Religion is bad for women.  Nothing good comes from the hypocrisy and control of women most religions.  Ie causes pain. [/quote]

What higher being do you believe in?[/quote]
