Catholics, why can't God hear them? (Part 2)

Actually, this isn't a new post. I posted this on another blog a while ago to get feed back. Now lets see your ideas:

I have just thought about an interesting fact: Why do catholics have confession? I am a Lutheran from birth (Protestant) and I have always found that confession was... well... pointless. Here is my case and here is my evidence. If God hears you pray, is everywhere, and can talk to you then why do you need a priest to talk to him for you. Here is an example. You do something bad. Lets say you stole five dollars from someone. Confession would be the automatic place catholics would go right? Well, I believe that isn't the best choice. Lets figure this out togther shall we? If you were God, not to personify him, but would you rather have someone say to you directly, "God, I did something terrible..." or would you rather have some guy get in the middle saying, "Hey God, yea... you know that so and so told me to tell you that he..." Is the choice obvious to us now or do we need more proof? Ok, I'll give you some more. So you are walking along one day and beat someone up pretty bad for no reason. Your mom sees you do it and takes you to confession. Would it make you feel bad for what you did if you told some stranger that you did something bad? "Man, that priest has it in for me man..." you NEVER hear that. Now if your mom sent you to talk to God. Well, you hear about it every day. "Dude, I think God has it in for me or something..."

(I do not mean to attack any religion, I am just wondering how others feel on this subject... which is still a mystery to me...<(-.-)> can you fill me in?)

Lies - Human Nature

Why do we lie? Well, the obvious is that we lie to get outta trouble. Lets take it down further. We lie to benefit ourselves. When do we lie? When we are in trouble. Trouble is a type of situation. So here is the final basic idea: Lies - Help us get into a positive situation when we are at a disadvantage to escape harm. Humans are very interesting creatures. We are basiclly a thinking virus to the earth. Lies started when we did something that others felt was "wrong" or deserved punishment. If we could desieve them into thinking we did not do what they think is wrong, and instead something right, we could escape harm or even death. Thus many a people have escaped punishment well deserved (or what we think is deserved) for a crime by just telling a lie. Lies can come in many forms. All are harmful in some way. OK don't get on me about this "Little White Lie" Bull. Lets say someone's birthday is coming up. Ofcourse you don't want them to know about the party. "No Timmy, there is no party on your birthday! We are just staying at home this year." . . . . . ... do you realize what you have done? You just emotionally damaged the child! He is now thinking "No party?" and starts wondering why there is no party. Those thoughts lead to self examination and thoe thoughts lead to ... well, who likes to explain further hmm? Pretty soon he is hitting himself for something he never did wrong. Yea sure he is all happy and surprised when he gets to the party... but what if next time you tell him there will be no party... and there is none? He will start thinking "Oh wow! Another surprise!" until the last 5 minutes of his birthday when he is sulking in himself about why he deserves a party.

Update: New Blog

This is a new/old blog I have used for many an idea. I considered formating it due to a high volume of dust build up (There were more ad comments than there were Mogget comments...) but I desided that those posts are a part of my past and need to stay... however deathly they are. I guess many people will start checking my blog now, so.... no time to waste! POSTING BEGINS NOW!
