Pope says: "God don't exist, y'all!"

OK, so he didn't quite say that, but he may as well have done.
Bare with me now!

The Popes mates - the International Theological Commission, who are a group of leading Roman Catholic theologians - have been discussing whether to abolish limbo.
Limbo is the halfway house between heaven and hell, inhabited by unbaptised infants.
If a baby dies without being baptised it can't go to heaven, apparently. Equally, it can't go to hell either because it's not committed any sins.
So instead they go to limbo, which is just a nothing place. Nice!
Still it's better than sending them straight to hell, which, as it happens, was where they went before the Catholic theologians came up with the idea of limbo. Afterall, sending babies to hell isn't very nice, so they made up limbo to make Catholics seems like nicer people and thus a better religion to follow.

This scrapping of limbo appears to be for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, the current Pope Benedict XVI never believed in it anyway by the sounds of it.
And secondly, Islam is thriving in Africa and Catholisism is losing the race because Islam sends it's dead babies to heaven; it would seem that by scrapping limbo and not sending dead babies to a nothing place will make Africans think being Catholic is cool or something.

So back to the title: the Pope saying God doesn't exist...
All religions are supposed to be dictated by a higher or divine power and yet here we have the beliefs of a religion being changed by a bunch of old men because they feel certain parts of their religion are unpopular.

Hello...?
Surely God decides what exists and what doesn't. How can a committee end the existance of a heavenly spiritual state of afterlife supposedly created by God? That doesn't make sense!
As an atheist my eyes are wide open to this blatant man-made manufacturing of a religion. It's not the word of God in the slightest. How can it be when a debating society decides whats right and whats wrong?
Old men are sitting around a table right now and deciding what happens when people die.
They can't make that decision! They don't have the power! They aren't God! God decides where people go when they die and no amount of debating will change that!

I decided that the only way to find out about this was to go to one of the worlds largest Catholic communities on the internet and ask them.
READ IT HERE.
As you can see, I didn't stand a chance.
Basically, because limbo was only an "idea", they can drop it whenever they please. My assertion that the whole basis of thier religion was formed from an idea was ignored.
I asked them lots of questions, some that were "answered" by posting lots of stuff I couldn't be bothered to read because I knew what they were saying: God says so, so it's true.
Other questions that can't be answered were ignored. Afterall, they're blinded by their faith in the supernatural.

EDIT - The link above to the Catholic forum did feature over half a dozen posts by me asking a variety of impossible to answer questions that would make the staunchest of religious zealots uncomfortable.
That probably explains why a moderator over their deleted most of my posts and the responses given.
In other words, I was censored. I must have struck a nerve.
God bless them!
