I have a question, what's the point of only posting this type of thing when it's a theist that does it?
People who molest children are people who are attracted to children. This has nothing to do with Christianity.
"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."

Thread name is kind of a clue I suppose.

Sure, apart from hiding molesters in their own ranks christian churches have nothing to do with it.

I just wonder how it would make some of you feel if you knew of Christian forums starting threads titled "Damned Atheists," where they'd just post news stories of every time a non believer does something bad... Ignoring every time they do something good, of course. Just the bad stuff.
It's like, "Seeeeeeee???? Atheists are BAD!! WE are the good guys here!"
...This is no different. Opposite side of the same coin. Congratulations.

I couldn't care less about such thread. Atheist in Poland are apart from being equaled with communists are largely deemed immoral. So why should I care for some thread?

Oh yes, you're the guy who said Catholicism should be banned in Poland. Makes sense now.

You know something about this idiotic superstition in Poland or you just jumping to conclusions cause indoctrination and forcing beliefs onto others are something that you like?
Though from believers I expect nothing more than certain tribal solidarity.

The point is that the Catholic Church has been protecting them. I doubt one would associate them much with their Christianity if the Church actually did something about it, instead of protecting them. If an Atheist group were protecting pedophiles (Not sure how that would happen) then they should receive every bit of attention and scorn for it. Especially if they claimed to be the bastion of morality.
Now in cases where the church isn't protecting them, then their theism isn't quite as relevant.
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton

What? The guy in the OP wasn't even Catholic. I have no problem with people starting threads/discussions about any group of people who are protecting pedophiles. Those people should be called out. But this thread isn't even about that. It's a thread called "damned Christians" where people post about any news story they can find of a Christian person doing something bad.
