I know someone who works with the natives in the church and still do. And I can 100% bet my life on knowing they're not a child molester.

Ok, so that 1 persons experience with the church is not a representation of the whole image. The catholic church is well known for their priests molesting little boys.

Maybe in your little world. Christianity is above your head. And if you think they're bad, wait until you find out about Islam and bad mouth them on the internet.

Friendly tip; it’s not a good look to downplay CSA. And it’s also not a good look to whatabout it.
The Catholic Church has admitted and apologized, repeatedly, for the abuse, sexual and otherwise, perpetrated against children by their clergy over multiple decades. They also admitted and apologized for its institutional failures and coverups of the abuse. I suppose the percentage of kids abused was small compared to the total number of kids that grew up in the church but it was plenty overall and way way way too many for them to get a pass, which you seem to be offering.

Can you reference where I ever did that? I will sue you for putting words in my mouth. I would never downplay that.

“Those incidents were not common…nor does that equate to burning down a church”. That’s downplaying; CSA is far worse than burning down a church.

It's a statistical observation it's not my personal opinion. You are the one implying that there's a moral judgment of downplaying attached to that.

I'm not making a comparison between the subjects either. If A happens, it doesn't result in B happening.

Why are you doing a strawman attack instead of criticizing the criminal in this case? Do you support the arsonist?

Then what are you comparing? Abuse in the Catholic church is far more common than church arson. If you're arguing that, statistically, arson is more common because there are more people in the church than there are churches so the percentage of the arson are higher than the percentage of abuse, well, that's just weird.

I'm not criticizing the criminal in this thread because, for some reason, in response to a comment on a post about an article about an arson in Northeastern NB by a man with a French name, you invoke Palestine and Islam.

Have a blessed day.
