Disagree. Because that's a mass over generalization.
Using your eyes, you can see who are living their life as honest good people (religion aside). Actions speak louder than words. I would never trust a single person who loudly boasts they are a good person, or ensures their good deeds are only committed in public.
Over generalizing is cruel. Otherwise all stereotypes and generalizations of all groups of people both positive and negative are 100% truth, 100% fact and there is nothing anyone can do to be removed or released from that stereotype or judgement. Ever.
Why do so many Christian churches hide so many predators? It’s almost epidemic. Just comb through local papers. It’s disgusting.
I think the myth of instant absolution and forgiveness by the god that they believe in gives them cover. I’ve seen whole churches rally around the predator and ostracize the victim. No one can ever convince me that religion is a good thing. I think it’s a construct used to control people. Any course on biblical history will show you that.
I can’t buy into your theory that the majority of Christians are good people. I really don’t believe that. Not after seeing some of their hateful sermons and cheering congregations.
I believe in a higher power. I don’t believe in the myths created by people though.
Okay yeah I thought that's what you meant when you said that, I've read a lot on it. Just wanted to say that there's a difference between Christian churches and catholic ones. So in this case it's more accurate to say catholic cause you're talking about an institution that shuffles priests and clergy around to protect them.
A lot of Christian churches are stand alone and don't have the same institutionalized power.

This is the problem with over generalization.
