Do you need to confess your sins to preist

I never have confess my sins to a priest and never will because everyone on earth has sins and the only one that could forgive you for your sins is god not a priest. I only confess my self to god when I am praying and thank him for everything he has given me so far in life. I think that is the best way to talk about your sins directly to god because he is the only one that will forgive you not a priest or anybody else.

The idea of confession is one of the reasons I am nit Catholic. I could Never do it and there is nothing you can do to me to make me do it. I would rather go to hell than go to confession.I have great respect for people who can go but I can't. I have always felt that if I tell a priest or anyone else a secret , I would have to kill them so it wouldn't get out. And killing a priest is worse than not going to confession.It reminds me of a joke Bill Mahr would do, He said he is half catholic and half Jewish. He would take his lawyer to confession. He would say, " Forgive me father, I have sinned, you know Mr. Cohen?"
