Good exists - a Catholic comments

[Barry]

God is Fictional - an ex-Catholic responds.

I'm not going to answer every claim that has been nade in this thread, only answer a few that I've read about in the last few pages.

(Paraphrased): "Child sexual abuse has happened in nany other religions, organisations, and groups, not just the Catholic church."

Yes, it has.  And it needs to be stamped out there, too.  That doesn't excuse the Vatican or the church from the rampant child abuse that has happened all over the world, for centuries, by its priests and within the walls of so many of its institutions.

Nor does it excuse the Vatican sactioned cover-ups or protection of accused members of its institutions.

"Whataboutisms" is just a way of deflecting and thereby excusing the abuse within the church.


(Paraphrased): "Without god, how did the world begin?"

We have had knowledge of the process for decades, if not over a century.  You can look it up under various headings such as "stellar formation", and the like.

In fact, thanks to deep space telescopes, we can even see the process in action in many different locations throughout our own galaxy.

"God" is just an excuse by people in the 21st century who refuse to move on from their Dark Ages beliefs.

May Odin ALLFather keep his eye on you.

Hi Val
I agree with all your comments about child abuse. I have exposed two non clerical abusers, one running a youth group at my church who went on to abuse children at non Catholic schools. The other at a local swimming pool.
Please explain how stellar formations and the “process in action” started before you accuse me of “Dark Ages beliefs”. Your explanation is meaningless and unscientific. 
God bless
