I don't need a middleman coming between me and my god. Mind your own business! Especially them Catholic priests. They just wanna hear all the juicy details about all the sinning you do.

(By the way, this is a general post and not directed at any one person.)

The problem is that the Christian manual is quite explicit that not following Jesus leads to hell ("if you're not with me..."), and there are not many paths to God ("narrow is the way..."). Like it or not, arrogance is part of the system, unless you want to twist it, but then it's quite explicit about "twisting it," as well. Except, of course, everybody twists it, and I do mean everybody.
