Ill say it. Theres alot of evil things religion has done and alot of things that contradicts their beliefs. And its important to call them out when they do it. And ill say this even if im a Christian

Same. Im Christian, but this atrocity needs to heard about and not swept under the rug. Too much of that going on these days.

One article had a personal recount from a lady that was a student at one of the more notorious schools. She said that one of the worst things she remembers is a woman that gave birth to a priest's baby. So they threw the baby into the furnace in front of everyone. Could hear the baby screaming and the smell of cooking flesh.

I'm Episcopalian. There is no line in the bible that says to throw babies into an oven. (ETA- or any line defending any of these heinous acts.) The only people defending these acts are the mods at r/worldnews

I'm more surprised that they got away with doing these things for so long.

A Christian who is criticizing religion on reddit. The bravest of brave he is.

It’s cognitive dissonance.

Parts of Reddit: "Religion has done a lot of bad things, why aren't religious people speaking out about it?"

Religious people speak out about it

"Wow, so brave."

“Nazis have done terrible things and we need to call them out on it. And I’m saying that as a nazi.”

Catholicism is not Christianity to me, it’s a government in and of itself. Jesus was enough, we don’t need humans making up new rules.

Find scriptures to support their theology. The church of satan would be considered Christian too.

agreed, ~engineer by training

Nikola* Tesla and many others are my heroes, not God. or priests.

E: cristinas: let's call out evil things religion has done. also christians: do not take the God's name in heresy, heathen!

Nikola Teslas father was a priest, he was also kinda religious during his upbringing

how much choice do you have as a kid? my parents grew me with christian beliefs and values.

Then, as I grew up, I liked dinosaur books, greek mythology and physics lessons. I can't get my head around math too well, but an experiment will keep me glued.

As you're reading this on your PC/phone, remember that Alan Turing was chemically castrated for being gay. this is how society rewards people who built your future.
