As if society does not marginalize atheists already


They're in the 'god club' and we're
not. FrG has said they are all at
least worshiping some aspect of
god, atheists worship none. That
makes all god people somehow
related to each other.

Yuck.

I'm sure there are numerous atheists involved with child abuse, but it is disturbing, the sheer volume of religious leaders caught doing it. This article links many more accounts of institutional abuse. http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2019/january/the-pedophile-in-the-pulpit-how-a-respected-pastor-abused-hundreds-of-children-for-40-years-and-no-one-knew

"While some of the pedophile priests and brothers were expelled from their congregations following the discovery of "immoral conduct," many had their cases "minimized of the absolute gravity of their criminal acts, attributing them to mere weakness or moral lapses," wrote Francis.

@ CD; Power tends to corrupt. And absolute power corrupts absolutely.

This "phenomenon" is as old as the hills.

"What is not said here is this could not occur unless the states/nations, at a minimum, turned its head and averted its eyes. This means doing so was to the benefit of the states/nations leadership."

How nice. In the real world they throw
people in prison for such 'moral lapses'
and if they ever get out, they go on the
sex offender lists. But in the twisted
Catholic world, they get a slap on the
wrist and a stern talking to..

"Under the banners of accountability and transparency, Pope Francis has opened an unprecedented summit on sex abuse in the Catholic Church. He said that serial criticizers of the church were in league with the devil."

Smoke and mirrors, nothing will change. The church
invests a ton of money in training a priest. There is
a massive priest shortage, you have to practically kill
somebody before they will get rid of you.

And anybody who criticizes the church has always
been on their crap list. You were called a heretic,
and could be thrown in prison or executed.
