Quote:It must be a very pretty carbuncle then. I think my cathedral and most cathedrals and churches in Britain very pretty
Yes religious building can be exquisite ;I've seen many in the UK, in Europe,and have been inside St Peter's in Rome .Some religious music is also sublime.So what? I did not criticise those things.
Your argument is called 'a strawman fallacy' If you want to have a rational discussion stick to the issues.IE in this case address the specific claims; dogma,parasitic clergy, obscene wealth and abuse of power.

Quote:A straw man, known in the UK as an Aunt Sally, is a type of argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[1] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.[1][2]
