I NEVER made any such claim you had to believe in God to discern right from wrong. Nonetheless, I posted because, yet again, a story regarding a religious cult gone wrong points the finger of hate toward any and all religion. But let me point out the fact that many more atrocities are carried out in secular society, go ahead and do your diligence on public school systems, impoverished countries with rogue governments, crime ridden pockets of cartels and human trafficking, and you will find countless examples of Godless people doing much worse and on a grander scale. Am I ashamed of Churches with scandals, cover ups, and less than impressive apologies, of course. That's inexcusable. But that's not what Jesus stood for. Humans are flawed. I follow Jesus. not you, not any of you, we have proven ourselves unworthy to follow!
Meh I don't really care who or what you follow. My general rule in life is don't be a dick. I dislike people who are assholes equally regardless of religious affiliation.
