Catholic Church attendance is starting to grow again as parishioners regain confidence that the purge of atheist/pedophile fakers masquerading as priests has well and truly started to disinfect God's House.
That is incorrect. Atheists take care of their sexual urges by having guilt free sex with consenting partners.
You told us so yourself, remember? On the other hand, Christians who have been taught from childhood that sex is immoral end up joining the clergy hoping to get away from their biology, and end up molesting helpless children. Thank you for proving the point that it is better to be an atheist who engages in legal, guilt free sex, than to be a repressed Christian priest who rapes children.
Also, I think you are making up the claim that more people are turning to religion, because all the numbers I have seen tell me that the opposite is true.
It's just as
Jesus explained to Nicodemus. Darkness hates the light. Deeds done in darkness are exactly what the Church hierarchy should have put under the spotlight which would have prevented the decay.
So why didn't the Church put pedophile Christian priests under the spotlight? Oh, that's right, the wealth and establishment of the Church and the privileged lives of the high ranking priests have to be protected at all costs, even if that means protecting and enabling Christian priests who rape children. Why aren't you outraged that the Church has been protecting the pedophile criminals in their ranks for so long?
Imagine if, instead of worrying about the reputation of the Church, (the Church which Jesus said
the gates of hell couldnt even dent,) that every lying, disgusting atheist pedophile had been publically named and shamed and OUTED! Imagine if every single person with hearsay, gossip and slander had been publically shamed into stating their claim out loud - immediately - to the police instead of whispers behind closed doors. Mandatory reporting by those making the claim.
They talk about the statute of limitations being extended. I think it should be shortened. And anyone who fails to report the rape of a child within 5 minutes should be charged as an accessory after the fact - attempting to conceal a crime. 5 minutes?
Some people waited
years to report the rape of their own child!!!
You are repeating the same untruth you have been spouting for some time. To my knowledge, not a single Christian priest who has been accused of or convicted of molesting children has claimed to be anything but a Christian. The basic premise of the Christian faith is that ALL humans are imperfect, they sin, and all they have to do to be forgiven by their god is to get on their knees, confess their sins, and declare their subservience to said god. Which makes it easy to do things like rape children, because they have a magic get-out-of-jail card.
Through the repetition of this provocative and baseless falsehood you are trying to divert our attention from the fact that large numbers of Christian priests have been abusing children for a long time, and that the Church has known about these abuses and done everything in its power
not just to to protect the criminals, but also allow them to continue their abuses. It is sickening to think how many lives the Church could have saved if they had stepped up earlier and done something about the problem instead of covering it up. As a Christian you should be outraged and ashamed of the legacy of abuse that the RCC has built up. Instead, you try to blame the problem on atheists, who have nothing to do with it.
Religion fucks up the minds of many good, rational people and turns them into pimps and liars for their Church, peddling its sleazy ideology on street-corners, preying on the weak and helpless, and covering up the abuses rampant in the festering brothels they call "houses of worship" with a thin veil of piety. The good news is that the Church can no longer suppress the mountains of abuse it has been covering up for so long. A thousand years ago the RCC would burned heretics alive after torturing them, but that has changed. People, Christian and otherwise, are beginning to wake up and recognize the Church for the abomination it really is. When are you going to find some of that grit you keep talking about, to stand up and say that enough is enough?
