Catholics, How Dare They Demand Fellow Catholics Not Scramble Babies!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Quote from FreeMarkets:
Not only is HIV a primarilly homosexual phenonoma (IV drug users etc are a shrinking % of victims) but even women who contract HIV (from bisexual partners) by and large are only infected via ANAL sex.
I mean use your head. If those weren't the facts then you'd hear about "normal" people left and right testing HIV positive. Just another libtard myth, eh? Aids never went "Main Street" for the very reasons I've outlined.
Quote from nutmeg:
This is to do with an actual institutionalization of systemic sexual abuse by Christian religious authorities on a massive scale.
So strong that Christian belief and adherence percolated major bodies including Police and Government itself.
It turns out this calculated perversion of power and trust caused entire administrations to fail in bringing what actually is the collective body of Christians itself accountable under the law.

Perhaps.
OTH.
The same could be said re day care sex abuse hysteria.

I'll tell you what, you prove Christianity or religious belief on the whole, doesn't cause bad things to happen.Quote from Steelers Baby:
Is there a person on this thread who can prove that bad things happen because of christianity instead of inspite of it??? I would really love to see the person who proves to me that if Christianity exists people die...... Just because people choose to abuse religion it doesnt mean that religion is inherriently evil, if you are too stupid to figure that simple point out, you DESERVE to end up in a ditch.......
Please show AND prove to me that because someone became a catholic, that catholisiscm set him off the edge and he chose to commit heinous crimes because the catholic church told him to do so, as opposed to the opposit.....

Are you saying Islam does not cause more people to kill themselves and other innocents than would be the case if it wasn't for that religion?
Are you suggesting the circumstances which encouraged and nurtured pedophiles to congregate (how appropriate a collective noun .... 'Congregation' of pedophiles ) in a religious organization called the Roman Catholic Church, would have been able to practice their perversions as easily and to such large a scale without being under the cover of religion?
It does indicate that when people make assumptions they are doing things in the name of and to the glory of and with the blessing of God, it takes more essential things like the law, and a sense of common decency, to put things right again., Which proves to me anyway that religion, God and Christianity in this case, do cause and facilitate greatly, bad things to happen.
Quote from stu:
hmm..... there comes a point where apology by the perpetrators for their heinous crimes, disqualifies the credibility of playing a persecution card on their behalf.
You would not deem it worthy at any price to make excuses for self-professed pedophiles and the ecumenical organization that knowingly provided shelter and covered up innumerable despicable assaults on children ?
Merely because they both happen to be Christian ?
Would you?
If you would, then I for one thank goodness God is not above the law.

There is only one true example of a "christian", all the rest of us are woeful to view as an example. We fall short of the mark, but continue to crawl towards the finish line.
I agree with your distaste for organized religion, and I view it as no different than any other organization.........a man made structure.
The US government has it share of pedophiles and every other type of human failure known to man, every organization does. I would even bet that the church of Darwin has its share also!
I mean no offense to you stu, but to disregard the many good and righteous works by people of faith, on behalf of humanity at large, is allowing your passionate bias to cloud your sight.
