Damned Christians

[God of Mr. Hanky]

Ah, that's the thing. I believe they are rising quickly. And because no one knows anything about them, they can't prove they aren't rising quickly. Therefore, they are rising quickly.

I was hoping a theist would have asked :p

I have faith that around 9 out of 10 crimes against women and children at the hands of the clergy go unreported, and it's probably higher in some countries.

[God of Mr. Hanky]

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.

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 Catholic church doesn't just protect these monsters, it attracts them and legitimizes them - they are what you get when you mandate a celibate lifestyle on your clergy! You make the job desirable to people who don't have normal adult relationships. Also, for an organization which condemns homosexuality, the incidence of the same is very high among priests because there's a lot of men there, and you don't stand out like a sore thumb in a society which looks down on homosexuality. Not that I have any issues with gays, it's just another example of the sheer hypocrisy in Catholic rules.

Christian ‘prophet’ loses his buttocks to a hungry lion while trying to prove God would save him

“I do not know what came over me,” Ndiwane confessed. “I thought the Lord wanted to use me to show his power over animals. Is it not we were given dominion over all creatures of the earth.”

Another problem I see here is that these modern lions are out of practice when it comes to eating xtians.  Come on, boys.  Do some drills and get back in game shape!

To see this at halftime, I would not only start watching football again, I may even become a Detroit Lions fan!

Just kidding, Xtians! You wouldn't really miss Pat Robertson that much anyway, would you?

Another baby from religious couple bites the dust:
Faith-healing couple who prayed and rubbed oil on the head of their sickly newborn instead of calling 911 WILL go to prison for letting him die

Dale and Shannon Hickman were found guilty of manslaughter in 2011
They were members of a controversial faith-healing church in Oregon
Their son David was born two months premature in 2009
He died hours after a home birth when couple refused to go to hospital
Their conviction was upheld last week by the state's Supreme Court
They will serve six years each in prison

And when you think about it are they really to blame? They just acted as they were thought by their parents and teachers. Even today when religious people get healed in hospitals they don't thank the doctors but God and think that Jesus healed them, never thinking why fucking Jesus gave them illness in the 1st place. For instance in Europe there are still on many places monuments to plague featuring beings from Christian mythologies, because people think that God decided to spare that part of town and still stop to cross themselves - despite the fact that medicine and science stopped the plague that would pop up every few decades until the invention of antibiotics.

There is nothing stupider than a theist, F/M.  In the 12th century that rationale might pass but this is the 21st century so, yes.  Those fucktards are to blame.

They willfully choose to be stupid.

And when you think about it are they really to blame? 

Jury of their peers seemed to think so.  

Many of us were taught strange things by our parents, most of us don't pay any attention to "it;s my mommy's fault" coming from a grown ass man. My moms a fuckin loon. I love her to death, she knows I think she's a loon. I sure as shit haven't been raising my children the way I was raised. I already know how that turns out.....

You're right, but the religious training functions that they teach you total bullshit and then expect you to be smart enough not to take it TOO seriously. Not to cut off your penis if you can't stop masturbating, or to have sex in a marriage although they'll teach you that St. Paul said that it's better for a married man to live like he's not married, or not be crazy enough and actually use contraception etc.

[The Grand Nudger]

I don't think religious institutions or training expect their marks to take them anything less than completely seriously.  That's how they manage to suck the life out of their human livestock.  It doesn't work if the flock thinks you're joking, wink wink.  I think they know they have plausible deniabilty and multiple layers of legal protection between themselves and whatever their flock may do on their advice...and so they don't give a shit.

If a doctor had advised them to do what they did, he'd be standing trial with them..but because it was their church, their religious communities.........
