I think religion can stop people from reaching a deeper spiritual experience. I don't know what the nature of god is, but I know what religion teaches us isn't right.

The Catholic Church has two thousand years in experience with this. If you deny it, you are on the path to atheism.

" If you deny it, you are on the path to atheism."

Organized religions are ran by people. There is nothing inherently spiritual about them. All doctrine has been written by men. With that in mind, your assertion is false. There are many other beliefs besides atheism. One does not find God through the writings other men. Prophets did not gain their wisdom by following doctrine blindly.

"The Catholic Church has two thousand years in experience with this."

Are we meant to fill in the blank here? In the context of the above writing in which you are replying to what is 'this'? Because I assure you, I've read it over several times, and there is nothing I can attribute the generic and all encompassing term 'this' to.

In short, you have done exactly as all religious zealots do. You have made a vague prophetic statement, signifying nothing, and then attempted to instill fear in others. You are clearly without shame. I wouldn't trust you to lead me to a Taco Bell, let alone a messiah.
