How oh how did I miss this thread?! You tell em, baby. Godschild, I agree with you. Gabriel, you're a brown nosing bigot bastard like usual. Tax free statuses for churches is ridiculous, at the very most a tax deduction for charity expenses is appropriate. Also, if the statistics of pedophilia cpverups in the church is any indication of those abroad: most of us have been molested or raped. Since its one of the biggest shhhh issues in society, maybe we need to change how we respond to such nonsense. Calling police on your own family member..is hard. Especially if that person is your families main supporter. Or how about close family friends and relatives? Cato is right, even married couples withstand pedophilia in their relationships. If it were me, I'd revamp the entire Foster care system and prevent abuse there, first. That way kids do have somewhere to go when they come forward about their abuse. Right now home with a pedophile is better than Foster care. Deploreable. What happened to good old security cameras? Why are those not implemented in churches?
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
