The catcholic faith(I am a catholic)does nothing but say all the bad things that God stands for. Punishment and damnation.
Seriously??
That is truly sad. I too am Catholic, and my Church is nothing like that. I live in an ultra-conservative part of the country, but even here the Church is not all "Hellfire and brimstone." There is some discipline involved with the faith, like trying to avoid sin. However, they realize nobody is perfect,they just ask that you TRY. The homilies (sermons) I hear are positive, i.e. try to appreciate all the good things God has made around you.
It just amazes me how many people bash the Catholic Church. That is not what Dogma was about. Like the original post, the person thought Kevin didn't have a message, because he realized it wasn't really bashing Catholicism/religion at the end. He thought Kevin was trying to. I believe Kevin has said it was a sort of loving constructive criticism, andthe message was religion good, God better.
