I admitted no such thing that you've accused me of. I have not said that I do not believe in the Christian God. That is a lie and only done by twisting my words and manipulating definitions.
On the contrary, I go right to the source, Scripture.
Rejecting Catholicism does not equate to rejecting Christianity or rejecting Christ.
I reject the teachings of men superseding the teachings of Christ right out of the Bible.
The Catholic church claims to be built on Scripture and that it even wrote Scripture. Why are we then castigated for going back to the writings that the Catholic church claims responsibility for?
If it's good enough for the Catholic church it's good enough for the individual believer. Jesus came to save people, not organizations.

I don't care if you openly admit it; you have demonstrated very adequately that you do not believe in the God of Christianity.

You aren't. You are castigated for hideously erroneous interpretations of Scripture. St. Paul is a venerated Apostle and stands in the Church as does St. Peter. You guys have twisted and manipulated him into a demiurge resembling Islam and not Christianity at all.

Jesus built that organization that you are opposed to. Jesus came to save people via that organization, not by Billy Bob Rolex's organization, or by those in their very own LaZBoy chair of self worship.
