Apparently, there was a BBC documentary which revealed that the Catholic Church has been illegally trafficking newly-born babies. Why? Because they believed their mothers were unfit to have them. According to the documentary, they stole at least 300,000 of them and sold them on for profit via adoptions, no less.
The very fact that the Pope has not been struck by lighting over 9000 times and the Vatican swallowed whole by the Earth is proof that god doesn't exist, In my opinion.

Surely this is no worse than catholic priests sexually assaulting little boys, the picketing of soldier's funerals or the evangelical indoctrination of children too young to know better at Jesus camps, though?
I find myself unable to be surprised by the incredibly disgusting acts committed in the name of God anymore.
Because I live in a society with extreme sectarianism (Glasgow has some pretty heavy history with Protestants and Catholics - anyone from Ireland will know what I'm talking about because their history is very similar) I see the absolute worst that allegiance to Christianity has to offer. Either visiting a friend in hospital who was stabbed with a broken bottle in the crowd of an old-firm (catholic vs protestant, basically) football game or seeing mosques get vandalised and burned because they believe in something different. Ach, it just makes me not give a fuck about the scandals of the church, because I see it on a daily basis.
This is upsetting, but informative. A documentary from about 7 years ago regarding old-firm violence. Football games used by christians as an excuse to brutally injure or murder other christians, because half are protestant and half are catholic.
Religious nuts are like any other form of nuts, except they use God to justify their wrong actions, as if saying "God wants us to [immoral action]" makes it true.
Case in point: The Crusades, compared to the part in the Bible that says "Thou shalt not kill"
This is but one of the reasons.
I don't preach my hate, i keep it to myself. Unless a discussion such as this comes along...
I'm sure a hell of a lot more crimes have been commited "in the name of a God" than there has been because "there is no god".
But we all know how these discussions end.
