We will have the problem of institutionalised child molestation with us for as long as people like you continue to use the "yes but look at them" defence, a disgusting and thinly veiled effort (conscious or otherwise) of spreading the guilt and spinning the damage over as large an area as possible. It will only get better once you see the horror of what this farcical institution is guilty of, and stop blaming others.
And yes, of course there are atheist monsters, but we don't have large buildings, maintained on tax shelters, manned by a large proportion of old pederasts in the name of an outdated old religion to draw in the kiddies. Saying you're sorry only has any benefit if you are that ......... sorry. What the CC are doing, and reluctantly at that, is saying "Yes, we are sorry, we suppose, but ...." It is making the whole thing much worse in its response - but please, don't let us stop you. It is thrilling to sit here and see the blood of these disgusting old men flowing.
You want to falsely attribute motives do you? A little game of IRRATIONALIA?
How about if I see you and raise the bet. Lets both take a break from clear thinking and slag peoples "real" motives and tar eveyone with the same brush. Real enlightenment values ? bah!
...Oh yes, well everybody knows that the only reason those New Atheists like Dawkins and Hitchens are sinking the boot into the catholic church is because it suits their cause. (hint $$$ snigger snigger) They will use any excuse. They dont care about pedophiles. They even use bonobos to justify homosexuality as natural.
Forget about 50,000 cases in the RCC over 30 years
There are more than 150 MILLION cases of child sexual abuse in a ONE SINGLE YEAR directly within the remit of SECULAR agencies.
And you expect me to believe that there arent some on the New Atheist bandwagon who arent being massively disingenuous?
Lets make a deal.
You accept that I am disgusted by religious leaders who knew and did nothing about pedophiles in their midst and I will accept that you aren't simply attacking them out of pure polemics or mob scapegoating to alleviate your guilt at the critical mass of child sexual abuse right under your nose.
If someone - an atheist - tells me they want the pope arrested as part of a campaign to eliminate the problem of pedophiles hiding in the RCC and being protected "for the greater good of the Church" I take them at their word.
Please dispense with the biased thinking about ..."people like you".
