That's exactly why you attack it. Religious freaks should be committed to an asylum. Thanks to religion killing countless people because my god is better then your god. Terrorists are just really religious aren't they? And that's why they blow themselves and others up. For there god. I believe something created the primordial ooze we crawled out of but religion everywhere is wrong.

Exactly, it's not like any of the representations of Christ actually look like him either. It's just a prop for your belief and for you to focus your intent.

absolutely

Thank you Daria and Sara for the clarifications! I knew what I meant, but you said it TONS better! :D

Actually that's not exactly how it works. These saints are more like mediators between the individuals who pray and God. It's like, one prays to a certain saint, then that saint becomes an agent that forwards the prayers to god and makes deals, and guides that person towards the wanted goal. It's like when you make a complicated visa. You can do it alone, directly to the government, but it has a better effect and it's easier if you hire an agent to guide you and mediate between you and the government.

As a Catholic, you don't really pray to the saint. You ask for the intersessions of the saint so that the saint intercedes on your behalf. It is sort of like asking your mom to tell dad something for you.

I understand if y’all downvote me, I’m just saying what the Bible says

I understand that, but you don’t need an intermediary. The temple curtain was torn in two after the death of Jesus, symbolizing that you don’t need a priest like the Jews had to go to God on your behalf. The barrier between God and man was both literally and figuratively torn in two. We can approach God directly
