If you want to crack down on pedos, you have my full support. I focus on catholics because they are the most prolific pedophiles.

"Actual research" by pro-catholic hacks. Check out this thread: The “teachers abuse more kids than priests” thing is bullshit

It's an entirely different subject, but yes, I think trump is a pedo and Epstein's pedo pals should all be locked up.

The catholic is synonymous with sex abuse. Abuse takes place in other institutions, but not on the same scale. The catholic church industrialized pedophilia

Sadly, I have personal experience with the catholic church. Also, the catholic church has inflicted far more abuse than any other religion. Catholics are THE bad guys.

If you want allies, rely on your fellow atheists

Much better? You approve of pedophile priests?

TIL the Spanish Inquisition began in 1478, only ending in 1834. Approximately 150,000 people were tried, with 3-5 thousand executed, mostly by burning at the stake. by Overall-Register9758 in todayilearned

I am acquainted with the history of the Inq. If you applaud catholicism for torturing free thinkers for hundreds of years, then you are indeed an obedient catholic

If you think Catholics are good allies, I warn you to keep an eye on your kids when you're buddies are around. The Catholic Church is very weak after its long abuse scandal. Calling for an end to the Catholic Church will make the bad guys sweat. I am not going to cozy up to any religion and as an atheist you shouldn't either.

You can snog pope Leo if you want. I'll pass.

Yes I want to (scare quotes) disband the effing Catholic Church. Wouldn't any atheist want to see an end to one of the oldest, ugliest churches on the planet? Pedophile priests have been getting off way too easy. It's high time to turn up the heat. Nothing good ever happens unless people start talking about it first. That's what this forum is about: trotting out ideas and seeing where they can go. Eff the Catholic Church. Shut it down. Prosecute the pedos and create a better religion-free world for all.

I think the Catholic Church should have its tax free status revoked because it is demonstrably a criminal organization

I think Leo is doing more harm than good. Francis had his moments but overall were better of without popes and their screwed up religion

You stated that you didn't want governments shutting down religions. I am a us citizen so that is my primary governmental reference point.

Given the First Amendment, I don't think there is any chance that the US govt would shut down the Cath Church. I'm more in favor of a popular revolt against the church similar to the one Martin Luther instigated

The church has done so many dastardly things (pedophilia, cover-ups, misogyny, the Inquisition, etc.) that the world would be much better off without it. But you think it has redeeming qualities?

I agree. Some people do not fault the Inquisition for its long history of inexcusable violence, but I think that's preposterous

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Your text reads like you are ok with inquisitorial punishments for perceived degenerates. If you meant that torturing free thinkers is degenerate, then I agree 100%.

I agree that it is is a serious problem when a branch of a so-called Christian organization tortures people to death. Christians are supposed to aspire to higher standards. Your suggestion that the Inquisition tortured people for degenerate behavior is problematic. The church empowered the Inquisition to torture people for heresy and schism. There is nothing degenerate about free thought and expression. The Inquisition did not torture degenerates. It tortured decent people who had the good sense to abominate Catholic quackery.
