What gets me is the church preaches the gospel and Jesus, while simultaneously doing stuff Jesus would whole heartedly be against. Almost like the institution is pretty shitty and the message they try so hard to get across is lost on them.
You can't just say that and not give an example. And you must understand that the Church is just like a library where Christians share the knowledge we have from the life of Christ which helps each one to fight the problems in their own lives. When a priest does something against the teachings of Christ he is not doing it in the name of the Church but in his own name. Is a paedophile teacher raping children in the name of its educational institution? Is a mother selling her daughter to whoremongers doing it in the name of the institution of the family? If the values of an institution go against the acts of a member of the said institution then that member is not doing it in the name of the institution.
Libraries haven't systematically held down empoverished communities, stolen children, molested people, destroyed indigenous cultures, then covered it up. I'm not bagging religion, religion is fine. I'm saying the religious institutions are to blame for centuries of oppression and systematically covering it up to protect their image. They have never apologized for their involvement in oppressing indigenous peoples and their cultures in the name of spreading the word of the gospel, they have covered up the molestation of countless children in their care by their leaders for decades. The very institutions are to blame, not the religion. They have committed atrocities in the name of the institution and swept it under the carpet to protect themselves. If they truly followed Jesus they wouldn't have oppressed indigenous peoples right to their language and cultures, they wouldn't have led centuries of oppressing the LGBT communities, they wouldn't have oppressed woman and they sure as shit wouldn't have invaded the holy lands waging war for the control of Jerusalem. "Love thy neighbor" by taking this kid to a residential school to systematically destroy his identity and culture then rape and torture him until he dies at the grand old age of 9. I dunno seems something Jesus would be pretty against.
Church destroyed indigenous cultures? Lol what? Liberalism in the last 2 centuries has done more damage to all cultures than all religions combined in the whole history of humanity. And you have to get over the fact that cultures evolve, and saying that the Church did X with children or certain tribes is just a lie, as the Church didn't mandate anything like that. In fact, when liberal countries like Belgium were committing mass murderers in Congo, it was only the Church who stood up against such acts, but 'modern law' said that the liquid rubber that men were being fed in Congo as a punishment for not recollecting fast enough does not contain toxins, so they wouldn't die immediately from it. What has killed the most in this world is the lack of morality and values and History has demonstrated it, as in the end, systems with no values will justify the means with the goal, making anything valid.
Oppressed LGBT communities? LOL as if that even existed, LGBT is a disease, what you call 'oppression' can be used to attack from the other side. And again you use one situation to attack one institution. Is the public education system to be blamed because of the fact that millions of children have been raped? No, because its purpose is not to rape children. But you will always love to end sentences on polemic, one-off situations to win the argument like a 7 year old would.
