sorry P Eagle but the bible does mention a few points which i believe totally ridicules the catholic faith.
1st Id like to say I am C of E and do believe in God just not in the way many people do and I atend church and mass but am not a religious freak. MArilyn Manson is amazing :D
1)The catholic faith teaches us to beat our children - Psalm 137:9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones
2)it also teaches that drunken incest is ok - (Genesis 19:31,36) Come let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night; and the firstborn went in and lay with her father, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father, let us make him drink wine this night also, and go thou in, and lie with him. And the younger arose, and lay with him, and he percieved not when she lay down, nor when she arose. Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father."
3)canabalism - (Leviticus 26:29) And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
4) and then theres the point of Adam and Eve had 2 sons Cain and Abel, Cain killed the Abel and so the human race could not have continued without Cain having a child with Eve which could not happened because Cain was sent away by God...
5) Everyone is born with original sin which is passed on from their parents which comes from when Eve ate the forbidden fruit, however we are taught that when we are baptised we have all sin washed away so this should mean aslong as your both parents somewhere along the family where baptised then you wont have original sin...
6) the last point. God is omnipotent so why did was there the holy wars where satan and 1/3 of the angels fought for his right to rule in hell rather than to serve in heaven surely God could have just banished them all without a 2nd thought rather than letting the loyal angels fight for him led by the arch angel michael. and if you are going to say because that would not allow free will which God gave us then theres the problem of God being perfect and knowing all, if he was perfect he would not have made the mistake of creating satan better than the other angels and would have know he would have made this mistake and so could have averted this course of actions
the problem with organised religion is everyone takes things so literally in a thousand years people will find a book buried in the ruins of a house open it and imediatly start worshiping the lord frodo from freeing us from satan who just happened to apear as a large flaming eye.
not saying God doesnt exist just that people should be free to worship how they want without the threat of burning forever
As Marilyn Manson says in his book he believes the antichrist is something inside all of us which compells us to do evil and not an actuall figure/person I see God as something much like this
