Does a Catholics community really belong here? - eviltoast

I don’t want to be the judge here or anything. Just wondering if a religious sub belongs in an instance with nothing anti-science as a rule. If its fine by everyone and the admin, its fine by me. I’d just block the community. Just felt wrong to see a Catholicism community in local.

I won’t go down voting the community or anything, we’ve got enough of those people here

    I mean this in the most respectful way possible, but is there something you can name that religion does explain without relying on faith of some kind? I would never claim science has all the answers, but if I’m going to attempt to take religion seriously it has to start by giving at least a single answer.

      Science does not have all the answers. We utilize Science to find answers, with valid evidence, to the questions we have. Religion just makes up stories to explain things that are actually untrue. Science is doing the work to get a true answer. Religion is just a ‘feeling’.

      Well, no. Religion is nothing without faith. You have to be personally called to that faith in order to be able to explain things to yourself in a religious manner. I’ll recommend this video, though.
