How can anyone believe in religion when priests molest kids.....says it all.....even priests must know deep down its all bollocks....there aint no jesus....if there was he would probably be touching the kids too.....dirty religious bastards
If you double the number of reported cases and allocate one priest per case (when, in fact it was actually many to one) then you have 4% of the clergy being a pedophile.
That is keeping with the number of pedophiles in the general population.
89% of all cases of pedophilia are perpetrated by family members.
Therefore, by your argument, how can anyone believe in society or families if this occurs?
By the way I am going to save your post. It is classic.

You lack an understanding of the article but it is to be expected.

We don't need any more studies to prove God doesn't exist. It takes a logical, sensible and responsible human being to understand there is no higher religious being.

Maybe he doesn't do miracles because you touch yourself at night. On a serious note, god doesn't exist, nor is there any intrinsic value in anything. And if you are telling us that by saying god doesn't exist that means we are polluting your thread then you are just closed minded!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RAWR I R MAD!!!!!!!!!!! Nah...basically dude/dudette you asked for thoughts. We give thoughts. If you don't like our thoughts then I suggest leaving?

Yes, I agree. The book itself hasn't done anything. But the book wasn't intended for anyone else to use, except man.
The different interpretations and personalities caused the words to be used as guides to the calamities that have been.
Make no mistake, I blame man and greed. The book and the idea within, were just manipulated to be used as a tool for control and domination.
As replying to your post, manipulating HOW people can interpret stuff can also start out quite harmlessly.
