    "wha?"

    If you want to "confess" go to a ***** counselor or psychologist who can actually help you with your problems via a rational process (rather than hearing "god or the devil did it").

  • askegg, on 07/06/2008, -4/+5All priests are fake - professing answers where they have none, praying to their blood god, using important sounding but dead languages, dressing in silly clothes, accepting billions in tax-free dollars and giving little to the world's needy.

    Religion is poison.
    • OnlyGirlOnDigg, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2I dare you to say that to someone in person.

      Churches and religions aren't perfect, but then again neither are governments, organizations, or societies.
      • askegg, on 07/07/2008, -1/+2I told my Christian work mate something very similar just the other day. He had it coming...
  • Inuranic, on 07/06/2008, -2/+2"He was wearing clerical garb, but the expert eye of our personnel didn't need much to sense something strange in his behaviour."

    Read: He wasn't paying undue attention to males under the age of 12.

  • JD52, on 07/08/2008, -1/+1All Priests are fake. Confession is just another control mechanism put in place by organized religion.
