I don't think I disagree however I also don't think that I am confusing anything. My statement is relatively straight forward. All the religions of man formed into its various groups are no more than voodoo... and I don't believe in voodoo.
I see scripture selection as nothing more than fraud & trickery. If you are a Christian you must take both Old and New Testamate as Gospel truth... which it obviously is not.
I am sorry that I disagree with you... but I do. The free will of man is a convienient and of course unprovable out in religious sects but in reality the calling of God would not go out to the "sickos" as you call them. And regardless look at all the cases of church child abuse and think that number could probably be times a thousand in unreported cases.
And my point still remains. If you can't tell if the church is a pedophile and God will not step in to protect the innocent being victimized in his name... then there is no way to trust religion at all.
But that's the thing. My attitude about faith is not something preconceived and entrenched at all. I was never abused at church. I was raised as a Lutheran Christian. Went to church, went to Sunday School as a child. Didn't dislike church at all. I come from a family that is moderately church going.
There is just too much evidence to ignore here to not come to my conclusion. I won't get into all the science of things and I've already discussed some of the many contradictions... don't even get me going about the time line of the Bible and the dinosaurs 
.
All religion is man made stuff pure and simple. And yes some of that stuff has helped many... but it's still man made stuff.
I do leave the door open to God along with evolution because I can see where both could coexist. But organized religion... all smoke and mirrors.
