Are Catholics The Most Criminal?
October 23, 2024 at 11:35 am
Pedos, Mafia, Gangs, Cartels, Exorcisms, etc....they all embrace Catholicism. Is it due to it's confessionals as a type of "get out of jail free" card or say a few hail Mary's and move on to the next crime or is there another religion that is followed by more criminals?
Which religion is most criminal in nature?
It will all be over soon...

They're all equally criminal.

I don't know, I think those Evangelical youth pastors might give them a run for their money.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Islam has got to be the worst but only because there are countries which observe Sharia Law. It would be just as bad for several other religions if there were countries which accommodated their religious laws.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Most criminal? Just look at how Jews and Muslims are killing each other purely because of religion and no one is allowed to mention it because it would be that "new atheism" thing that Christian pseudo-intellectuals poisoned. So the criminality of religion is all around and interconnected across religions.
I mean even when they were not killing each other, the Jews and Muslims were living in divided zones where they would throw garbage on each other.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

When it comes to organized crime, honestly, marginalized groups tend to flock to them because they promise a level of protection that the larger society doesn’t care to give them. And if, say, some of those groups are largely Catholic (like, say, Italians in the 19th and early 20th centuries or Latinos now) it makes sense that that happens.
As for pedophilia, Jehovah’s Witnesses have a problem with pedophilia that makes the Vatican seem like Chris Fucking Hansen. At least they cared about damage control. The Jehovah’s Witnesses, however? They decided that, unless someone was dumb enough to try and rape a child in front of another witness (and sometimes not even then), there’s nothing they can do. Except maybe add their name to a secret database that they have made abundantly clear they’ll only share with authorities if they’re legally forced to do so (like in Australia).

I think it's important to distinguish between the institution and its members. The Catholic church has many sins. The ordinary Catholic, not so much. The Imams of Islam, not a lot, but many extremist followers, sure.
