But I guess, considering 90% of you never get out of the house, you live in your own delusional world which is ruled by FOX or BBC (depending on which way you swing). You see a child abuse case in the Catholic Church (an obvious problem no doubt) and you believe all Catholics are possessed with this urge to fuck children.
The truth of the matter is that the majority of the world swings to one religious orientation or another, and while religion has been used in the name of bad things, the vast majority of these people are good, honorable people. They help the starving in developing nations, they help the starving in your own, and they do it not for money but for satisfaction of helping another human being. Just because you idealise money and things only, does not give you a reason to bash those that idealise a God.

Relgion has been the root cause of more destruction, violence, and death than any other element in the history of mankind.
Give me a fucking break with this religion does good things baloney. You'd still have charitable people without religion behind it. Nothing would change there so your argument has no merit.
The Vatican is one of the most corrupt institutions in the world. They've been sucking money out of poor 3rd world catholics for 2000 years. Go look at the wealth they've amassed over there sometimes.
