"Hurr Durr I'm a typical atheist who assumes every single priest is a pedophile. Debate me."

[–]ginx2666 0 points1 point ago

To be fair, most aren't but those who are, are protected by the church.

Also, why aren't we burning pedophiles yet?

[–]sudevsen 0 points1 point ago

a persons paedophiliac tendencies has less to do with religion and more to psychology..............if a priest is a paedophile it does not reflect poorly on his religion
What DOES reflect poorly is when the religion backs him up through the other priests endorsements.....thats when the religion is dragged down simply coz of a mans problems that had nothing to do with religion

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I agree with that. The church's coverups are the problem but the joke that every priest is a pedophile is a little ignorant and absurd.

the only stereotype I ever agree to is d one that says that ALL stereotypes SUCK (that nd the 1 abt a black mans junk!)
