Good arguments for, good arguments against

Something weird is going on with Catholicism.

Islam has two big problems: there are no good reasons to believe it and lots of good reasons not to. Catholicism suffers from half those problems.1

I think there really are a great many powerful arguments against Catholicism. Dustin Crummett https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEKpYouT1wU has a good video going over some of the problems, but to summarize some of the issues:

1 Catholics are committed to a really implausible view https://wollenblog.substack.com/p/catholic-sexual-morality-a-new-theory about sexual ethics, according to which homosexuality, masturbation, and contraception are immoral on account of being intrinsically disordered. The backdrop natural law view that this relies on is about as implausible as any view in all of philosophy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPen831EkYg

2 They’re similarly committed to a categorical prohibition on lying. This is insane! Lying is great and you should do it all the time! https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/the-lowdown-on-lying
