Yes, yes it is. So is using Python and Apple. In fact, best you steer clear off of computers.

I'm not Catholic but I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

Playing games with religious themes is also not a sin, as you are expected to understand the difference between fact and fiction.

My source is that one of my best friends is Catholic

If they understood the difference between fact and fiction they wouldn't be a catholic. They're supposed to believe that crackers and wine literally turn into Jesus's body and blood by saying an incantation. Alchemy makes more sense than that, so I could see some people having issues.

No, no literally, figuratively.

The fact is there is no evidence for existance of God. But also there is no evidence that disproves the existence of God.

But still... there was a guy 2000 years ago that said "There is God"

And whole religion is based on a question "do I believe the guy that lived 2000 years ago"

And I said yes and I don't care what your answer is.

Just don't be a douchebag.

No, literally. In Catholic doctrine, it transubstantiates into the body and blood of christ.

I agree most probably don't believe it, but a catholic should if they're keeping with the teachings of the church. Yes, it's absolutely insane, but it's not even close to the most insane thing.

Also, you can't prove a negative, except by countering every other case, which is impossible in the case of a god. Of course there isn't any evidence there isn't a god because what could that even be? There can't be any. The only thing that can be proven is contradicting claims made by others, but obviously they can just shift to the next thing because you can't disprove every possible one.

There's no evidence there aren't leprechauns or unicorns, but anyone making the claim there has the burden of proof. There is no burden of proof to not believe things. You just don't believe it.
