Reminds me of the story that led me to start questioning organized religion:
Priest A (married) was sleeping with priest B's wife. Priest B tells him to stop or he'll expose the affair. Priest A tries to put a hit on Priest B. There was video of the priest negotiating the hit with an undercover police officer, where the priest coughed up a few grand to cover expenses and told him to shoot Priest B behind the right ear so he'd know that the hitman did it.
Later it showed Priest A talking to reporters outside the courthouse accusing the police force of entrapment and that god was on his side and he would be vindicated by god and he seemed to have lots of supporters too. This was in Florida I think, by the way.
Ever since then any talk of god, religion, and morals has been met with a healthy amount of skepticism from me.
