No, you're right. Your own figurehead and organisation is harbouring paedophiles. Guess that's much better to swallow right?
Besides, 20% of muslims aren't out there murdering, torturing and raping either, that wasn't the actual point I made, or that anyone made. They're just slightly more brazen about their support of such extremist views than Christians are in the modern world, it seems.
And you're right to predict the comment, even if you think it rude of me to bring up. I find it to be cognitive dissonance on your part to condemn the actions of muslims while at the same time calling yourself a Catholic.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure you don't condone the countless cases of paedophilia the Catholic church has played its part in, I'm sure if pressed you'd speak out against such barbarity. But I still find it hypocritical to be so OK with it as to still identify with a blatantly vile organisation while at the same time condemning muslims and Islam in general.
Why is it you can see the evil effects of other religions so clearly but not your own?
Don't answer, I can already envision the argument and it would not be something I find agreeable anyway.
I hope my flippancy doesn't get in the way of the point I'm making.
Ok. But if you're going to make a post addressing me/about me, then I'm not sure why you think it's right to tell me not to respond to it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
