Is it normal that i'm convinced that catholic church is evil?

Everyone laughs at the Catholics. Until you need a damn exorcism.

Strangeduckdude, seriously dude u think ur so funny with saying a serial killer is safer than a catholic priest, but it's really notfunny, John wayne gacy killed a ton of people, how would u feel if u were picked up and raped then killed by him? IT'S NOT FUCKING FUNNY

Religion has also done alot of good in the world.

No the catholic church is the cause for a lot of the worlds problems. So is the rest of religions. God doesn't exist so switch over to atheism!!!!

im a catholic.. well im supposed to be. when i was younger i decided people are feeding me .. stuff that isnt true. honestly i think none of its true and people are just believing in it because they are afraid not to.

I think you're on the right track. It's a church about money and control. It also is not based on scripture or history. It's made up.

it is the only way to heaven. your screwed if you keep thnking that way.

I think you are normal for feeling the way you do but I also think that you are not seeing all the good works that have been made possible through the Catholic church.
The grievances you have about the Middle Ages are legitimate complaints and people like Martin Luther and others created new Christian religions as a result of some of the practices. History is replete with individuals and movements which stood up in defiance of the goings on of many different churches, not just the Catholic church. But the fact of the matter is that was hundreds of years ago and that behavior would not be as easily tolerated in modern day as it was in the middle ages, dark ages or antiquity. Look at what is being done today to help humankind, not at the sins of the past.

Religion has done a lot of good in the world, but never a religion that considers itself the "one true" religion, and ESPECIALLY if they HAD to spread it by the sword. If you need an exorcism, call a shaman.

You are not the first to question the direction the Roman Cathlic Church is headed. A Roman Catholic monk named Martn Luther did and formed the Protestant sect of the church. In this day and age it is rare to find a person who can read Hebrew, Greek, and Latin and have access to the ancient texts to see where the true direction of the Christian movement was meant to go. The Bible of whatever sect is written and printed by man and is, therefore, subject to their interpretatioon of what they want it to mean to their followers at that time.

its feels like a cult.. im actually uncomfortable when i go to church. i was born catholic.. but am not religious anymore. only spiritual. :P

normal, the church has messed up, they even teach that in school, there is actually even a such thing as an anti pope

This is my Story and I want to make a few things clear:
I believe in God and in most of the Catholic Religion, the Organization is the problem. I don't trust most authorities, although I admit many priests are ok

The thing with Catholics adn other Christianity is that they Bible has sooo much in it that people use it for their own benefits. So instead of using the Bible to make a situation clearer, they will use it as an excuse for themselves. I find that is selfish and therefore can come across as 'evil'. Also the Catholic Church is very different with so many rules other Christians do not follow which makes the religion more un trustworthy, but I guess we can all choose your belief. As long as you know what you and God (or whatever you believe in) have and you are using the words of the Bible for good rather than bad (including selfishness) then there is nothing else churches can do.

Remeber churches are other peoples opinions, so try and find your own opinion

I understand what u mean but get what u can out of church god....and the rest leave it behind. have faith that god will protect the bible and the words. use it for good don't focus on negative stuff learn from it.

Let's call religion, all religions, myths and legends to help people who fear death. I'm a non-believer! (Former Catholic) Read Richard Dawkin's "The God Delusion."

Who needs to listen to an old pedophile to hear the "word of God" anyway? Just read the bible yourself

If I had a young son, I'd just as soon let John Wayne Gacy take him fishing, as allow a Catholic priest anywhere near him. (I think I speak for a lot of people these days.)

God exists, but probably hates the church.

All churches are corrupt and misguided- like ieatrocks said god is man made

god is manmade.
