Catholic atheism

[Bill_Martin]

Hi Jack,

I see that you have received little, if not no support within the forum – well, I am a millennial, and like most millennial, I am here to save the day.

What I saw most often in your adversaries was that they didn’t seem to understand what you were doing as a catholic atheist. They regard you as a lion is disguise, deserving of punishment for your deceit, when really you are far ahead of your time.

There is no evidence for the existence of god that can satisfy any critical thinker to where it is an absolute. Of course, it is impossible to disprove a negative; but you can’t prove the existence of a higher power in the same way that you can prove that the earth orbits the sun. This new generation wants that kind of certainty, we will not submit to anything less; and so for the church to survive the millennials, the church will change.

The church, especially the catholic church, provides society with a moral compass. Despite the mistake and scandals, the church holds firm to the word of Jesus, to the importance of a strong family unit, and places the man at the head of the household. The bible reflects our nature as humans, which is a result of millions of years of evolution. We are animals, through and through, and the bible displays our strengths and weakness, asking us to learn from the mistakes of others.

If the church is to survive, it will have to both accept and submit to atheism. This does not mean abandoning the teachings of Jesus, of peace, kindness, and love; but to attract the younger generations, accepting the fact that there is absolutely no evidence for a life after death, and establishing more pragmatic arguments for church attendance is necessary.

Hope I started a heated conversation; #MAGA

Of course it does. How could it mean anything else?

I’ve been involved with the Catholic Church for over 30 years. I know just as much as you do about Catholicism, if not more. I can help people with questions that they have about the Church, beliefs, etc. and I love to meet Catholics, especially the ones who need help. That’s my purpose.

Jack

then look in the mirror.

Shalom

No, more like a diabetic at Dunkin Donuts.

This thread brings out a lot of feelings … I see that it is an older thread so I will not answer to the person who opened it … but I feel that I should look upon the statements made in this thread by the thread maker as a call for help … I also believe that anyone that would agree with him, and believe themselves to be a Catholic Atheist is calling out for help … and based on that I will pray for all such people who believe themselves to be a part of this group.

I have to say I agree. Some people have lost faith in what cannot be seen after life experience. They still want to believe but they struggle to.
