Ciao Amici,
I'm very skeptical about Religion and God. It has nothing to do with family because I grow up in a Roman Catholic home and my parents went to church every Sunday. And now, I don't like priests. I did once meet a Pastor who was quite decent, but that was in Russia. However, I find priests the most difficult to tolerate.
I'm sure many of you would ask me why I dislike priests this much, and here is my answer: Priests open their arms, smile piously and make you believe that they love everyone equal, and they preach a theology of tolerance and respect but they are the firsts to point out the members of their own congregation if they do something wrong and other people outside their community, too. And who gave them that power? They say God did, but sometimes I think priests like me don't believe in God at all. Instead, they are in love with a Jesus stereotype, the good pure man in sandals, velvety face and warm welcoming arms.
I don't want boring sermons and promises of punishment. They say God forgive us all and they are always condemning us to an eternal suffer of flames. Who are they to point their fingers to us? Isn't God the only one that can judge us? Priests, Bishops, Cardinals, Popes, they are all the same; expensive zucchettos, traditional vestments and burning eyes as if they carry hell inside them.
I don't need a Church to tell me what I do is good or wrong. I don't need to be told by a congregation that I am heading to an eternal damnation. Basically, religions are extreme groups that expand terror to every human on this planet. They do whatever is necessary to get what they want even if they have to fight governments and other religions. Be free!!! Break the chains!!!
Il tuo Ricardo!
