So I'm watching the movie AA and how this kid goes to confession. 
And the priest tells him that he has to do like 3 Hail Mary's and 3 Lord's Prayer and then he is off the hook or forgiven or whatever. 
It hits me right away at how everything, from thinking that one does something wrong through sin to the penance doled out is all just made up by humans. 
I mean, first of all the kid didn't sin. It's just a bunch of guilt tripping bullshit and then the penance is created to make him feel better. 
Just a bunch of bullshit made up entirely by humans to somehow make themselves feel bad then better all from a book of a bunch of made up stories by other humans. 
Religion is bogus. 

Confession is designed to make someone feel better about themselves by admitting to a man of the cloth so they can receive absolution from the bogus almighty creator, that is only a creation of the church. Depending on the extent of the action\behavior, there are always going to be universal consequences, we just might not know what at the time. If it is a serious crime that was committed, the priest would have to convince the confessor to do the appropriate thing by taking responsibility for their actions and reporting it to the correct authorities.

Yes, religion is bogus, and for questionable actions by people, to suddenly feel redeemed because they have confessed and will still enter the kingdom of heaven due to believing in what the religion propagates is one big massive crock.
