It's only to be expected. It's a non story.

Newsflash: Christians aren't perfect.

But it would be nice to see them strive for the ideals they claim to support just once....

When did you start buying into abrahamic horseshit?

[AnetTeilor]

Only need to ban the people who are Christian in name, not in spirit. Like you. People who profess to be Christian and then break Christian tenets are no real Christians at all.

Thou shalt not steal.

Love thy neighbour and do not judge are also pretty key. You fail at those, too.

Raping children does seem to be somewhat endemic in the Catholic church, though. Could it have anything to do with the fact that Catholicism does terrible things to some people's brains?

I blame the silly anachronism of celibate priesthood, personally. It isn't the Middle Ages anymore, priests aren't going to leave parishes to their bastards, you'd think they could give it up, but no...

I'm not going to give you a Morality 101 lecture.

Holy ****, dude, how dumb are you...

It's not our fault that people like you choose to only focus on, or talk about negative things that some Christians do or say.

Countless other Christians have shown themselves to be inspiring examples of goodness and compassion for other people. Mother Teresa was one example. And there are people living today, who are living examples in answer to your challenge.

Yada yada yada... blah blah blah

Inpsiring examples of goodness and compassion you find in any religion. It sometimes is just part of human nature.

But tell me, how much suffering woud have been avoided if Mother Teresa would have just supported the use of e.g. preservatives in the slums of Mumbai?

Katholicism corrupted her more than it did her good.

Preservatives? Does the RCC forbid making food last longer or something? I thought that was more of a hippie thing.

It oviously is more of a hippie thing.

Of course, religion is involved and they are not part of the clergy.

[brurdefdoro]

...and they are not part of the clergy.

Just as well, or the kids would have been abducted and molested!

You'd have done better to choose an actual example of what you describe. Encouraging poverty and suffering is not inspiring, compassionate or good.
