When it comes to rackets, the mob's got nothing on the church.
so they created this problem in the first place, then they promised money to help fix it but just need up paying themselves?
hats off.

216,000 boys were the victims of sexual abuse at the hands of clergy in France since 1950!
It’s the worlds biggest paedophile network
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-e…
The church is offering thoughts and prayers to the victims, seriously my child come by and let us pray together.

- tastes like chickenkaiyohtee
- a comic says some dumb shit on stage and he's canceled for life, the clergy literally rapes a quarter of a million kids in France alone and they get a free pass_niko

If you say so.palimpsest - as I get older I'm starting to realize that the bildenburgh group/ rothchilds/ British royalty/ and potentially the lizard people nut jobs were probably right_niko
- what's the point of it all? we slave for rich and powerful cunts who live above the law,
and the church who does whatever the fuck they want to_niko - burn it all to the ground and start again, I welcome a new world order. Start with education, free education for all and the banning of organized religion._niko

This thread is an echo-chamber for atheist dogma and selective ignorance. The focus of posts is almost always the soft target of catholicism and the monstrous humans within as though it's exploits are a home-run in the argument to demolish religion.
Atheism is responsible for more death and suffering than Judaism or Christianity. Fascism and communism - both of which were atheist ideologies - murdered more than 150 million people in the 20th Century alone.
This does not excuse the actions of terrible humans who are: part of, and protected by most major global religions and ideologies. 85% of the planets population subscribe to 'god' in some sense or other. And arguably god(s) and religion(s) are in-built and a successful evolutionary feature of humans.
I wonder if those calling for the dismantling and banning of religion and spirituality would actually like the world after it's done.

- Anything positive anyone has to say about religion is welcome here too. I think I have posted a couple neutral-positive things about religion here...sarahfailin
- The fascists ran right alongside christianity and were endorsed by the church.
Post some positive Jesus stuff in this thread if it upsets you.PhanLo - After reading that it was found that the catholic church covered up the rape and torture of 1/4 a million kids, you come to have a fucking whingePhanLo
- Hey, for my part I've for at least two decades vocally worried about the dismantlement of the likes of the CoE or whatever light ChristianityNairn
- ..I've never come across a convincing non-religious replacement for Just Not Being A Cunt, because there aren't any. Shit noise trumps base humanism.Nairn
- My conceit is that I've always felt more Christian than most self-declared Christians because whilst I'm not religious, 'Christians' are generally twats.Nairn
- Atheism isn't a belief system.monospaced
- Christianity is not a default, by any stretch of the imaginationmonospaced
- It sounds like you're advocating everyone start believing in some supernatural beings, specifically the Christian God. That itself is absolutely ridiculous.monospaced
- Furthermore, I don't see anyone calling for the dismantling or banning of religion. At all. Except in government policy, according to the US constitution.monospaced
- "Evolutionary feature"
Somebody's been doing their own research.palimpsest - @scarabin I have no religion or god.
@mono, we've been here before i'm not suggesting it's a belief system. It is however an ideology. Also, in the post ...Morning_star - ..._niko calls for the dismantling of religion.
@nairn Don't be an arsehole is a great place to start.
@PhanLo I'm no defender of any church or any dogma.Morning_star - @palimpsest, you doubt that claim?Morning_star
- Religion is not an evolutionary trait. That's not how evolution works according to my research. Live your truth, I'll live mine.palimpsest
- I didn't say trait and you post is the kind of shit Creationists come out with.Morning_star
- What post specifically?palimpsest
- I would argue that it wasn't the atheism that was behind the killing, but instead maniacal dictators/fascists.monospaced
- Now, those exist regardless of some faith. I don't believe that religion imparts a missing dose of ethics or morality. Those traits ARE natural to humans.monospaced
- I would also bet that more people have died in the name of religion than atheism, over the course of human history.monospaced
- @mono. That’s pretty much the point I was getting at (clumsily). Humans are the common factor here. Whether it’s peadofile priests, brutal fundamentalists...Morning_star
- ...or horrific political groups. Not so sure about your last claim as the religious/political partnership that caused the deaths is difficult to separate.Morning_star
- Word.monospaced
- I think if you consider ancient wars and all the thousands of years of global wars in the name of dozens of gods, it would outdo the commies.monospaced
- Religion, all of them, have caused countless deaths throughout known history. Atheism you speak of was just this last century or so.monospaced
- @palimsest - This..."That's not how evolution works according to my research. Live your truth, I'll live mine."Morning_star
- I don't get it but thanks for answering.palimpsest
- " you post is the kind of shit Creationists come out with."
- Morning_star
Glad you changed your mind.palimpsest - Nope. It's still the 'kind' of shit they would spout.Morning_star

Here's just a handfull of neutral>positive posts about religion in the last 5 pages of this this thread. This isn't an anti-religion thread any more than politics is an anti-politics thread. ...'anti' just happens to be the prevailing opinion...

Btw, there’s approved child-fucking in the bible. They love this shit.
It's OK to have sex with "women children" that are obtained in war:
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites ... And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males ... And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones ... And Moses was wroth with the officers ... And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? ... Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. Numbers 31:1-18
When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it ... And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself. Deuteronomy 20:10-14
How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives? ... And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children. And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man. And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh. Judges 21:7-11
Go and lie in wait in the vineyards; And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh ... And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught. Judges 21:20-23
Also It's OK to sell your daughter (no mention is made of age) to a man for him to use as a sex slave.
if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant ... If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed ... If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish. Exodus 21:7-10

Here’s a fun tale about pressuring sexual abuse victims to cover it up:
“But when she brought them near him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, ‘Come, lie with me, my sister.’ She answered him, ‘No, my brother, do not force me; for such a thing is not done in Israel; do not do anything so vile!...But he would not listen to her; and being stronger than she was, he forced her and lay with her...Her brother Absalom said to her, ‘Has Amnon your brother been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister; he is your brother; do not take this to heart.’ So Tamar remained, a desolate woman, in her brother Absalom’s house.” – 2 Samuel 13:11-12, 14, 20
- Amen.palimpsest
- later, absalom kills his brother amnon for raping his sister and flees.sarahfailin
- To be fair, it’s a story but it isn’t exactly god talking about rape being okay. Is it?monospaced
- @mono This is an OT pick-and-choose your gospel verse that is often used by conservative protestants. The rest of the story is never told.garbage
- But also used by the same sects that claim the word is holy and straight from God's mouth, and believe in divine translation.garbage
- I’m not entirely following. It just doesn’t seem like it’s teaching anything. Seems more like an account not anything related to god.monospaced
- I’m not defending the Bible or rape — I’m a total atheist — it just doesn’t seem like this is in support of anything. Just a shitty thing that happened.monospaced
- I'm an atheist that was being fully groomed to be a minister when I was in my early teens. The SBC really likes to harp on these verses in their youth programs.garbage
- When I was about 18, considering where I would go to seminary and teaching classes of 40 - 50 people of my age at my church this verse came up.garbage
- There had been an incident with a deacon with an underaged girl, and the ministers drilled this exact chapter in our heads.garbage
- It's a Get Out of Jail Free card for the SBC, where abuse is also rampant. My pastor sat me down, tried to convince me to work these lines into my sermons.garbage
- So I quit God cold turkey.garbage

- I don't have the time.palimpsest
- I rather spend an hour listening to a paleontology podcast than a stupid "debate of ideas".
Live your truth though.palimpsest - Paleontology isn’t evidence.monospaced
- The devil planted those bones.palimpsest
- You keep saying 'live your truth', I don't understand what you're trying to suggest.Morning_star
- New Atheist and Creationists are putting on a show. It's fine as a half-time show. I'm trying to watch the game though.palimpsest
- @Morning_star
We've all done our own research, we've made up our mind. You put your bullshit out there, I put my bullshit out there. Nobody's budging.palimpsest - You believe I'm a creationist, I'm not going to change your mind. We're here for the spectacle. I accept to spend time on that.palimpsest
- Monospaced believes that paleontology isn't evidence. We're living our best lives!palimpsest
- @palimpsest, i don't believe you're a creationist and i'll change my mind when opinion and fact persuade me otherwise. God be with you ;)Morning_star
- And also with you.palimpsest
- he's just fucking with you, Morning, it's all satire around how people are internet researchers and expertsmonospaced
- If someone wants to believe some bullshit, they live their truth. It's just a running joke.monospaced
- Thanks Mono, I didn't realise we have our very own Chris Morris or Peter Cooke. i guess the nuance of his 'satire' was lost on me. ;)Morning_star
- I'm going to wait for pr2's take on this, our resident Professor of Logic at the University of science (lol) before I make my decision._niko
- She's basically ignoring the evidence because she thinks her madey-up version leads to a more tolerant society. Interesting and nuts.mort_
- Fair play to the lady, she's unmoved by Dawkins facts. Her writhing and twisting in the face of facts is amazing. It's a pitty she's delusional.Morning_star
- Remember the first time I saw this... so absurdly infuriating.showpony
- Thing is, she's on the smarter, shallower end of stupidity. There are entire abyssal domains of fuckwittery that she fronts. Also, a shit on Dawkins. SpazBully.Nairn
