“The Catholic god shows no mercy. All remission of sins has to be earned. That’s not mercy, that’s subjection”.

I am truly amazed and repelled by this statement; it is very far from truth. I am a convert to the Catholic Faith and I was NEVER taught this, not as a catechuman, not from the pulpit from a priest, not in Confession, not by word of mouth.

The statement you have made here cannot be verified in the Catholic Catechism.

It’s a very subjective view and can’t be sustained by fact.

“Fear of being condemned by an angry,vengeful God whom only Mary can appease——”. This is nonsense. And it is also not truth.

Of course it can't be verified, neither can met's other statements. They can't be verified because they do not exist in reality / verity.

The only purpose that met's meandering maltruths serve is to have:
1. More non-Catholics and lukewarm Catholics read and wonder why someone would lie so much and repeat so many untruths about The Church. They'll think "there MUST be something about The Church that makes so many spread such lies that are easily proved wrong" and learn more about The Church and come to Christ through His Church.
2. More reasonably well-read or even simple believing Catholics will wonder the same and learn more about their Faith. As I've noted on these threads, the number of CAtholic posters have increased as more and more presumably are like me (wondering why this hatred, learning more about The Church and it's eternal, Christ-given Truths, and becoming stronger Catholics)

So Met serves to get more Catholics back into or get deeper into Christ in His Church and get more non-Catholics to come to The Church

Well, I was raised Catholic and I found Catholicism to be just like that. God was to be FEARED because if you slipped up once before getting to confession, sucks to be you.

God as presented by the Catholic church is demanding and not quick to forgive.
