Dude, you're a freakin zealot. Get some perspective into that thick skull of yours. Somewhere along the line someone in your family, nation or country of origin has done bad things. Does that mean you're going to renounce your lineage, your citizenship, or your ethnicity? You can be happy with the penguins at the South Pole, I'm sure they've never hurt anyone human.
Most importantly, your attitude is typically telling -- you don't bother addressing the beliefs themselves, but attack the structure. It's a religion for adults that take responsibility for their own failings, something that seems to be less and less fashionable with every passing day in these times.
To answer a question posed by Dogma -- you want joy, go to Disneyland. You wanna be an adult, choose Catholicism.
