I'm not sure what religious path you were shown as a child, but this ideology isn't what I see "pushed" in my local chruch.
in america we have a rating system for t.v. veiwers where children can not be shown death in any form it is called G rated what would happen if this
message was removed from the church in order to protect the children of america from mind control?

As a parent, I have a choice to let my child watch what I want her to watch based on a rating or based on my own judgement. If
I don't want my
kid watching death, violence and gore, it is based on
my decision, not based on a "mind control" scheme set up by "them".
If the images of death is removed from the Church, then a child is not being taught the proper truth. The two are not related. I am not sure what you
are trying to get at with your post here. Mind control does not have to do with images of death. It is simply a sobering reminder (for those who
believe in this) that Jesus was killed for his tyranny.

as an adult now i dont fear being smited by my God but by catholics themselves. they are a hypocritical lot.

I'm sorry if your fear keeps you from realizing your true path. Americans aren't judged by their religion. If you feel as if you are, perhaps you
are on the wrong path. Catholics are very ritualistic and hld their beliefs in very high regards. They are a pretty strict bunch of people. I don't
know why you think they are hypocritical. Care to elaborate?

they try to push their religion on others for fear of being the odd man out.they seem to think that their religion is the only correct religion
in the universe.

Of course. Their "mission", is to spread the word of God and Jesus. When they appear at the Pearly Gates, they would like to be able to say "look
who I brought along".

to tell a child to eat my body and drink my blood sounds very morbid and satanic . i dont care if you try to tell me its just symbolic. to a
young child it will be taken very literally.

If I were to teach my child what Mass is all about, and did not explain the symbolism of eating of Jesus' flesh and drinking of his blood, then I do
not belong bringing such a child to a Catholic Mass. Telling the story of Noah would not be complete if we did not explain the reason
why Noah
had to build the Ark.

i sure hope that people will realize who is really just panhandling for cash .because you can PAY for your sins with cash or credit card. if
you dont sin in the first place you wont need to donate ten percent to a "man" who has never worked a hard days pay in his life.

I do not need to go to a church to pray. I do not need to pay someone to confess to. I would do that personally through prayer. It is improbable that
you will never sin in your entire life. And if this "man" never worked a hard day in His life, let me see you create the entire Earth and creatures
in a week.

this message is intent to show the mind control of the catholic religion so any of you pro catholics need not reply.

No need to judge anyone here, Catholic or not. They can post their beliefs, just like you can. And I am not Catholic, just for the record. I am
agnostic.
