You tell people humans came from a magic garden with an "apple tree of sin" growing in it. You belive people speak different languages because we tried to build a tower to heaven and god got mad. Your ancestors crusaded around murdering millions of people, spitting on your own crosses, warship severed heads, and preforming sick sexual acts. Your trusted priests are so convinced that homo$exuality is a choice they r@pe and molest thousands of boys in secrecy, not knowing how to confront their (obviously) unchosen affliction. Not to mention, you tell people who were borned and raised a different religon they will burn in a fire for the rest of time? .. I could go on forever, but like I asked are catholics completely nuts?

You've definitely covered every bad thing that has happened in the Catholic Church. Congrats!
Please read the New Testament and the teachings of Jesus Christ. Visit a Catholic Church and witness for yourself the beauty in the Sacrifice of the Mass. Be inquisitive and research the history of the Church. Go into the Vatican website and learn before you begin ripping the whole Catholic Religion apart.
You know we are living in a very dangerous time. You can hold the Bible in one hand and the front page of your newspaper in the other and compare. People think they know more today and that belief in God is ridiculous. People need to know that we are nothing without Him. Better to learn that in this life.
The Catholic Religion has been handed down from the Apostles themselves. God is not wrong, but His servants are human and sometimes we fail.

People who abuse kids are called paedophiles not homosexuals, please understand that homosexuality typically occurs between two consenting adults and is not an abusive thing. Just as there are many men some of them clergy who abuse young girls but we don't call these abusers heterosexuals for the very same reason, they are paedophiles.
Yes there is something very disturbing and corrupt going on in the Catholic church presently and it seems to lead all the way to the present Pope who has had personal involvement in the church's policy of covering up and hindering abuse enquiries whilst harbouring and protecting the perpetrators but showing the utmost contempt for the victims ... threatening them with excommunication to stop them from speaking out.

St. Peter explained it this way:
"John 6:64 (6:65) But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe and who he was that would betray him.
Joh 6:65 (6:66) And he said: Therefore did I say to you that no man can come to me, unless it be given him by my Father.
Joh 6:66 (6:67) After this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him.
Joh 6:67 (6:68) Then Jesus said to the twelve: Will you also go away?
Joh 6:68 (6:69) And Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life.
Joh 6:69 (6:70) And we have believed and have known that thou art the Christ, the Son of God.
Joh 6:70 (6:71) Jesus answered them: Have not I chosen you twelve? And one of you is a devil."
Nothing has changed. The battle between good and evil rages on, with many casualties and failures.

Have you done any research on fundamentalist protestants? They are ten times worse. And once again, I have to ask, why are you blaming catholics for what their maybe ancestors did 1500 years ago> Nobody can change the past, and we are not responsible for our ancestor's sins. And the crusades happened because the Muslims attacked catholic churches in Jerusalem and Bethlehem

Are people who don't believe in God and make sweeping generalizations completely nuts? What are YOU doing for the world? In what way are YOU helping people have better lives?

Don't listen to yeshua. You are contributing in your own special way by tipping the balance ever so slightly in favor of people seeing religion for what it is. Onward atheist soldiers!

I'm sorry that you seem to have been abused by some Christian. Your pain is evident.
