Why are Catholics bad? Everyone says they are, but I see no logical or scriptural reasoning behind it. Give me some instead of just saying that there a cult or something.

I agree with Veteran on this topic. Catholics that cannot look past their own doctrine and recognize Christ in their brothers and sisters in Christ who are not members of the RC, really need to search their hearts and put aside their differences. So often, doctrine creates division between believers - it is not right.

BAD?
By 'bad' I assume you mean licentious.
The affliction is not restricted to Roman Catholics. It pervades Protestantism to a much greater degree.
The root of the problem is the belief that one has his golden ticket to heaven, as well as God's automatic favor, in his back pocket. This spiritual reservation no longer depends upon being good. It depends upon membership only; what Calvin referred to as election.
Calvin's election isn't the same thing as the election mentioned in the Bible. (I can just imagine the flurry of objections I'll get on this assertion.) While it may be so in theory or in polite theological discussion, it does not manifest itself in practice. In short, we don't see it. Anywhere. Christians act badly because they feel they have a right to do so.
What we DO see is Christians of both Catholic and Protestant persuasions assuming the attitude that membership is license to sin.
Theoretically it isn't, but as the leading post in this thread points out IT IS BAD out there. Shall we continue to argue in theory, bantering passages about to support our private golden ticket, or shall we recognize the reality of the issue?
We shall see.
Protestants are Catholics James.
And there is no such thing as a Christian that is not a Catholic.
All this shows is only someone has a lot to learn James as this rubbish just goes to show just a skimming over the top of things with no depth at all, not to mention you have said some things more then once.
Not even all RC are exactly the same.
As a former Catholic, my major concern is where Catholicism conflicts with the Word of God. And the conflicts are numerous:
CATHOLIC SCRIPTURAL CONFLICTS / FALLICIES
displays
73. Crucifix displaying Christ forever on the cross
74. Corrupt immoral popes (Anti-popes since 1958)
75. Sanctioning inter-racial marriage
76. Apocryphal books incorporated into the Bible
77. Lighting of candles for prayer requests
78. Confession of sins to priests and prayer penance
What? Why is this a bad thing?
Because a dog in heat will mate with just about anything that moves does not mean that we should emulate their behavior.
I'm sorry that you think that way.
That wasn't the point. There is nothing in those verses that forbids marrying outside of your race. The point of the dog breeds, is, a poodle is a dog, a labrador is a dog, same species different look.
Now, a White person is a human, an Asian person is a human, A black person is a human, etc etc.........
It's suspected that Abraham married an Ethiopian woman.
Even so, in the NT, there's no races in Christ.
