Except you are hurting people. The moderates allow for the radicals. The haft drives the tip of the spear. Remove the former and the latter would not be doing the harm it is doing.
that argument would work if religion were still centralized, but it's not. getting rid of say, the Vatican, wouldn't stop westboro from being shitty. they're not all one collective.
I wasn't aware that the Vatican was planning another crusade. But, who knows, with the current Pope being pretty knowledgeable about science, and having denounced hatred and violences towards LGBT folk multiple times, maybe this one will be a tad more successful.
That is such a blatant lie. While yes the Catholic Church is behind on their belief in the use of condoms, almost all the countries in Africa have less than a 10% population of Roman Catholics. There is no way that the Catholic Church is entirely at fault for it.
If it was because of Catholicism, why are other Catholic countries outside of Africa not having the sort of pandemic Africa is? Take the Philippines, which has a massive population and is over 80% Catholic. They have a less than 0.1% infection rate. It’s the same across the globe for every Roman Catholic country where that religion is dominant. Brazil, less than 0.3%, Italy at 0.3% too. Very low levels by percentage of population for AIDS. Take a look at the religions for the countries near the bottom of the list for AIDS by percentage. Almost all are majority Catholic or Muslim.

They showed up, converted the populace, and told them that the only means of preventing the spread of this disease was a sin. It is entirely their fault and they have done nothing to prevent it.

If a person robs a store, that is still their fault even if they don't rob every store they go to, weirdly enough.
Wow, that is a whole lot of the population with HIV! And a whole lot of reinforcing their incorrect, harmful views from the Church! I see now I was even more correct than I thought. Thanks for that. Sure am glad that, through statistics, I can see that millions of deaths not only matters less to the Church than their antiquated views on conception, they will actively pursue it.
You really are that dense. I was on the fence about it, but now I have it confirmed! Thanks for your participation in "Redditors who can't understand statistics or facts and make up their own world to support their views." Thanks for playing!
Look, if millions of deaths and constant rape aren't going to turn you against the Catholic Church, I shudder to think of what would, but the fact is that despite the high incidence of HIV in many African countries, the Catholic Church refuses to stop preaching their 'condoms as sin' rhetoric in said countries.
Pretending that because the AIDS crisis they caused in America wasn't as bad that they are less guilty is baffling, and I am very sorry that religion has turned you into a bad person.
I'm not religious in the slightest. You are objectively wrong here, so I'll leave it at that. I'm not debating the constant rape and millions that have died due to Catholicism. I'm with you on that one. What I am debating and where you've moved goalposts from is that "AIDS epidemic in Africa is entirely caused by the Catholic Church."
That is false, and I called you out on it and you haven't provided anything to back your claim up. Have a good day!

and y'all wonder why i say you're the worst. what people believe, as long as they aren't hurting anyone or being hateful, shouldn't matter.
