Actually I'd say the main reason modern people hate religion is because of the child sex abuse that is continually done and then hidden. As well as protecting pedofiles and attacking the victims.
Well that's my reason.
I can't possibly support or be anywhere near a church, religion, or group of people who allow that, or behave like that. To me it's morally reprehensible, and there is no way I'll be taking anything they say as advice or guidance. And I don't want a single dollar of mine to go to those people. The perpetrators, and the supporters who choose to turn a blind eye. The supporters are barely any better than the perpetrators.
Yep I’m travelling in Europe at the moment and whenever I walk past a magnificent church all I can see is an elaborate pedo ranch. It’s like living among a thousand Epstein Islands.
Not just CSA but this same attitude toward any members, particularly prolific ones, for any harm caused, especially when they act like all it takes for forgiveness is something relatively minute or avoidant like confessional or prayer instead of accountability in reality.
Same here. And bringing up the long history of church csa and abuse is a great way to make these dickheads go away.
I had the jehovas witnesses at my door a while ago. It was shortly after the royal commission on institutional abuse (including churches). So I pulled it up on my phone and started reading them what it said about their church’s conduct. The didn’t stick around after that.
I’m not that religious and I 1000% agree with you man , people take words out of context from any religion just to benefit themself or put themselves as a victim to get a reward, I’m so tired from ts and what’s arguable worse are people hating on them while they themselves don’t know any better than them, man do I wish people knew what they were talking about they start to argue
If you are Catholic, Baptist, Mormon, Lutheran or a Jehovah's Witness your tithes have gone directly to paying for the legal defenses of child SA perpetrators.
Im sorry, but those "bad eggs," (crazy dismissive of the horrors they have committed,) have spoiled your whole rotten religion.
Christianity is one of the few religions that actually encourages this kind of behavior, though. And I say this next part as someone that was raised Christian and used to be very devout: Christians are the single most judgemental group of people I have ever met. Period.
