What makes you think I want a "Confession". Why does he have a right to hear my secrets.
He is fallible and human and not superior to me. You are projecting your own confession habit onto me.
It is not the solution to everything. Confession alone once every few months is not enough to sustain a persons faith.
They need a church to go to, sermons, eucharist, other sacraments, community.
You wont admit that I am polarized against the religion because of the treatment I got.
You claim I lack knowledge on the religion. But I used to be one of you.
I know that in your theology I dont even need confession, I can be saved by an act of contrition.
But you are not being realistic. Why should I be contrite for my infractions of catholic laws.
Catholics dont even follow their own laws. Why should I go back to humiliation and grovelling a god while other stone cold people use that very humility to persecute me. It wont work in real life.
I wont apologize anymore for being human. I am an animal whose only true duty is to his genes.
I have another philosophy now. I wont be guilt tripped into a rabbit hole of abstractions and delusions because it leaves me defencelesss against the relentless attacks of the mob in the chapel.
Why dont you address these phariseeical hypocrites who stole the chapel.
>> What makes you think I want a "Confession".
I don't know whether you want one, but I do know you need one.
>> Why does he have a right to hear my secrets.
I would not exactly call it a right to listen to your sins, it's more like taking a bath in a sewer! But it is your right as a Catholic to get yourself cleaned up.
>> It is not the solution to everything.
It's not the end of every solution, but is certainly is the start to all solutions.
>> Confession alone once every few months is not enough to sustain a persons faith.
So far it's worked for me and my family. And it seems to be working well for many others too.
>> They need a church to go to, sermons, eucharist, other sacraments, community.
Given that you're not getting it at the local SSPX, why don't you look for it elsewhere? Ask and you shall receive.
>> You wont admit that I am polarized against the religion because of the treatment I got.
I admit it, as it's rather obvious. But that doesn't mean that it's the solution to your problem.
>> You claim I lack knowledge on the religion. But I used to be one of you. I know that in your theology I dont even need confession, I can be saved by an act of contrition. But you are not being realistic. Why should I be contrite for my infractions of catholic laws.
You've answered your own question. You know everything you need to know, you just refuse to do it.
>> Catholics dont even follow their own laws.
True, many Catholics don't. But neither do you.
>> Why should I go back to humiliation and grovelling a god while other stone cold people use that very humility to persecute me.
Oh yes, you will go back and "grovel", either here on earth for a few minutes or in hell for the rest of eternity. But you
will bend your knee (even if you call it groveling).
>> Why dont you address these phariseeical hypocrites who stole the chapel.
Because I don't know what happened there, and if what you say is true there is nothing I can do about it. There's hypocrites everywhere, especially among the atheist you're so keen to join. And in case you haven't noticed yet, you are very quickly becoming what you despise.
