Oh, I dunno... raping children and covering it up is pretty fucking lunar in my book.


Straw man fallacy.

'Lunar' means crazy. Pedophiles are not,they are evil. Raping children is a despicable crime,but unrelated to religious beliefs. Nor is covering up the crimes.That is about protecting the institution, to preserve power,wealth and status.That is immoral,but very rational. THAT'S what makes it so despicable.

RE: Atheism in High School
i went through the same crap. a school full of religious right wingers. they didnt really try to convert me though because i hung out with the satanic black metal kids and they were a little freaked out about us. Whenever they try to convert you just ignore it, or come back at them with logical reasoning.
