I'd like to blame atheists for the church's failings but that particular bird has no wings.
That's only because us atheists convinced a couple of Christians to rip the bird's wings off in order to laugh at it's suffering.

Christian? Where'd you get that idea?
Is it a parody?

No, no. You only rip off ONE wing...so it still has hope.I'd like to blame atheists for the church's failings but that particular bird has no wings.

Oh, I see. So their promise of celibacy was not to have WRONG sex. And the 'love-ins' of the '60s were always going on about the age of consent being a single digit number...Therefore some priests had sex with children because their morals were confused to what was rig and wrong when it came to sex.
This reminds me of a Catholic Monsignor I heard on the radio after a report into the Catholic Church child sex scandal here in Ireland. He actually had the balls to blame the counter culture of the 1960s as one of the reasons that catholic priests raped kids. You see, because promiscuous sex and free love became a thing in the 1960s, it eroded away at traditional family values, such that priests became confused as to what was acceptable when it came to sex.

It's not mental gymnastics. It's mental illness.This reminds me of a Catholic Monsignor I heard on the radio after a report into the Catholic Church child sex scandal here in Ireland.

It's amazing the mental gymnastics they'll engage in to avoid admitting that their claims of moral superiority are nonsense.

And if I'm responsible for having fucked up the Christian religion I accept. Can I have that in writing, please?
