TheJoe1989, please tell me you're joking!!! Either that or you have severely misworded your post. You think the bible is all literal??? OK, so the world was created in 7 days?? Basically a better way of saying what you did'nt quite say is that technically catholics are traditionally supposed to believe all books in the bible as absolute dogma. Realistic people (90% of homosapiens) realise that most of the bible's content was intended as a parable. The stories are symbolic. Now this is more so in the old testament than the new but even the new is in no way an accurate account of contingent events. Explain why the four gospels are inconsistent, if it was an event that actually occurred in a certain well known way then why do Matthew, Mark, Luke and John's gospels all contain inconsistencies??

The part of your post that confused me the most is that it looks like you're claming that the bible is God's word. Now when a priest says "this is the word of the lord" they don't mean that God was the friggin author of that paticular passage. They mean that what they've just read was written and recorded by someone directly inspired by God.

I'll leave you on this note, do you actually think the world was created in 7 days?? (bearing in mind that before the world existed we are lead to believe that a deity (God) existed and transcended time and space, therefore how could he create the world within a time period considering there was no such thing as time??) Maybe you need to go to some classes on catholicism taught by someone who isn't a complete retard.

Also i'm presuming that your name "TheJoe1989" refers to the year in which you were born. You have an awful lot to learn kiddo. Here's some advice, if you dont know much about a certain topic, then say nothing, instead of typing a load of verbal diohrrea.
