Religious child abuse

[Thumpalumpacus]

So what you're saying is that the "moderate" Christians killed 800 babies in 36 years, got it.

I guess the fundamentalists would have done it in a week? A day? Do tell.

Seeing how the word "Protestant" means "to protest" the Catholic church, I'm saying that one has nothing to do with the other.

Considering that both consider the key to Christianity to be the acceptance of Christ the Redeemer as the Son of God, I'd say that you need to sharpen your hair-splitter. They are just as Christian as you, and they are just as fallen as your are, according to your own doctrine.

Not to mention that Christian fundamentalism is primarily an American thing especially between 1925-1961 (the period of the article). this particular story happened in Ireland.

You're clearly ignorant of history. The Inquisition was very fundamentalist -- when it wasn't driven by economics -- and it was almost purely European in character.

The Catholic European subjugation of native Americans in the name of Christianity is another example of non-Protestant fundamentalism, wherein native Americans were forced to convert at swordpoint, and enslaved even after doing so.

In other words, you're arguing out both sides of your mouth, presenting this atrocity as an example of Catholic European "moderation", and pointing to American Protestant Christianity as the exemplary fundamentalist sect. The Christian religion has plenty of blood on its hands, more than enough to go around, and denying that is either ignorance or deceit on your part. Which is it?

Never ascribe to malice what can be laid at the feet of stupidity.
