1. Christ is not the only son of god
    1. The myths are full of stories of divine men with Godly parentage. Christ is not unique in this respect.
  2. Christianity is not the only path to God.
    1. Christians believe that Christ is the only path to God. As Christ said, “Nobody comes to the father except through me.” This is a lie. Every major religion has found some path to God that does not involve Jesus. Even in the Abrahamic tradition, there are two religions, Judaism and Islam, that reject this idea of divine exclusivity. If God truly loved man and wanted him to ascend to the divine, would he drop one man for a few years in one part of the world to be the only path for all beings forever? No, God would provide many paths in many places so that we all could find our way to God. This is what God has done and Christians lie about this fundamental truth.
  3. Revelation is not the word of God
    1. Oracles and revelation can be a valuable part of any religious practice. They often incapsulate truth in such a concentrated way that they can be read over and over without ever exhausting their power and depth. Many texts share this quality, not just the Jewish scriptures. More importantly, despite the immense truth of revealed scriptures, we must always remember that they are written by humans and interpreted by humans. God transcends everything. God cannot be reduced to words in a book. The words are but a finger pointing toward God, never God itself.  Thus holy scriptures always require interpretation and literal interpretation is the lowest and most shallow of them all.
  4. Original Sin is false
    1. Original Sin states that humanity is inherently sinful and requires the sacrifice of Jesus’ life to absolve that sin. We reject this teaching based on the Jewish creation myth. Our souls incarnate into the physical world as a natural part of the breathing in and out of the Divine. We do however begin this process when the soul becomes enamored with it’s own image. In a way, our narcissism is what traps our souls in our bodies. Nonetheless, we are capable of escaping this state through contemplation of the Divine and ritual worship. Your existence is not some evil that needs to be solved. We do however recognize the ability of ritual sacrifice to the Gods to absolve sins that accrue due to our ignorance and vice.

This is by no means an exhaustive list of all the reasons to reject Catholicism. However, it’s enough to show why we cannot accept Catholic as a religious system.
