For instance the Priests a) Shouldn't have sex at all but they do b) They have sex in the worst form, homosexuality c)They do it with a minor male who can't protect himself. Child abuse and predatorism d) They also use their "higher" position, use god's name and maybe other methods to keep the kid silent. The first 2 parts do not interest me. But the last 2 are definetly evil. |

Seeing as religious homophobia, for example, stems from the belief that God made men and women to be heterosexual and therefore homosexuality is sinful. Take away the faith in God, they've got no reason to be against gay people because they are no longer commiting acts of sin. Likewise if Christianity had never existed, witches would never have been burnt and Christian crusades would have never happened. Since witches wouldn't have been accused of devil worship and there would not be a religion to forcibly convert people to. Most often religious people aren't like that, and thank goodness for that. Their reason being that "we've moved on" or "I don't believe that part". You can see that societies with less religion, such as the Scandinavian countries, have much more developed rights for women and homosexuals. This is because there is no reason for people to want to curb homosexuality and give women less rights. I agree with the Steven Weinberg quote "with or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion". |

If one is honestly attracted to children, the urge won't go away. Some try to take on roles within a church because they hope it'll help..clearly it doesn't. Social stigma regarding pedophiles, needing to hide it to avoid isolation and embarassment, unable to have fulfilling relationships due to his true desires, yadda yadda..it's not completely beyond belief how these situations occur. I know it may sound weird that I'm playing Devil's advocate for such a thing but honestly I just prefer to see both sides of the situation. It's easy to say "it's wrong and people who do it are horrible" as a knee jerk reaction but when you consider the other side of things, it's not as "evil" as it seems. This was a topic of debate in a college philosophy/ethics class one time and it was a very interesting conversation when one tried to see all sides of it. Honestly I wonder why so many of them are part of the Catholic priesthood. I understand some feel God will help kill the urges but in this day and age it should be obvious that a little more is needed, yet we've been hearing about these issues for over 20 years now. |

Yup, it's official. I'd go gay for Drak.
And I'm a Christian. ![]() I can see what the article is saying, that everything is relative. It's true. Child abuse is "evil" in the context of modern society, because modern society's values include the protection of children from sexually exploitation. I certainly won't argue that, and I believe its correct. But a little perspective goes a long way. Societal views of homosexuality and pedophelia have swayed back and forth like a pendulum since... well, since Christ was around. It's a cycle that takes many, many decades to come around, but it's ultimately cyclical. Society slowly becomes more tolerant of homosexuality and pedophelia, then the puritans finally take notice and things start shifting back the other way. For better or worse, I think globalization and the advent of the technological age may have finally broken the cycle, but it's only just starting to happen, which means the older generations can still remember a time that had a lot more in common with "the way things were" than we do now. Someone mentioned that being attracted to a child isn't "evil," but acting on that attraction is. My personal view of homosexuality, shaped by my Christian background, is relatively similar. I don't believe it's a sin to be attracted to other men. I do, however, believe it's a sin to act on that attraction, because it runs contrary to God's intended design. Here's the thing though. I've said it many times and I will continue to say it. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. I'm not fit to judge anyone who's committed the "sin" of homosexuality because, God knows, I've committed countless sins myself. No human being alive today will ever to be able to claim perfection. But there's no sin that can't be washed away if a person is truly repentant. Punishment must be handed out accordingly, but so too must forgiveness. That, of course, doesn't mean that these priests who've committed these acts shouldn't be subject to the rule of law, which is where I definitely disagree with the Pope and the actions the Catholic church has taken to "protect it's own." These men have committed a serious crime, for which they must pay. (If I've said anything here that comes off as ambiguous, please say so.) |

Jesus actually said that thinking adulterously of another man's wife is the same as committing adultery, so, really, if you're a Christian, there's no difference between being sexually attracted to children and acting on that attraction.
Either way, I'm not sharing my opinion. [Necris] 6:23 pm: "you will deal with the pork you recieve" |

I'm not a hardline anti-Christian who thinks that every believer should be shot on sight, I merely dislike it a great deal as a religion and genuinely believe the world would be better off without it. I don't plan to take my beliefs any further into extremism. Obviously there are more good Christians than bad ones, by a significant margin, but sadly it's the bad ones that gain all the publicity. That said, I find evangelism UNBELIEVABLY irritating. One of my Facebook friends is an evangelical Christian and whenever she posts a status about how great Jesus is, I have to hold back every fibre of my being from trolling the living .... out of her.

Nah, I sometimes find it quite amusing. Plus, it'd make me look (and feel) like a total arsehole.

First off, this forum is for current events. Why are you posting a story from 2010?
---- ISKCON (the Hare Krishna group) reacted strongly when allegations of child abuse first surfaced. They removed everyone who participated from positions of trust and power, paid for counselling and damages to those who were harmed by it, and did everything they could to prevent it happening again. Apparently Krishna is more inspiring regarding keeping children safe than Christ. The Catholic church, the various Krazed Kristian Kult leaders (yes, all those words start with a capital "K"), and so on are a huge danger, more so than gay Scout troop leaders. If you don't care enough to research your own question, why should anyone else care more? "Pay no attention to his long winded posts... (Explorer) seldomly knows what he's talking about."

1) I agree, prosthelytyzing is extremely distateful. 2) I'd say don't hold back. One of two things will happen. You'll give her the opportunity to find out whether she's truly firm in her beliefs, which could help her grow as a person. Either that, or you'll get some epic lulz. Either way, everyone wins, at least from a certain point of view (as Obiwan would put it). |

drak you're a homosexual satanist right? if i'm right then i think you're position in this is very cool.
i would imagine most people with your beliefs/preferences would be quick to jump on the ".... the pope" bandwagon. even if you're just in it to debate you made a lot of good points.

Satanism is not in opposition with Christianity or any other religion in particular, so I don't know why it would be unexpected for a Satanist to take a logically sound position on this subject.

Out of curiosity does anybody have a translation of the speech in question from a remotely credible news source? Perhaps something without adds for 9/11 conspiracy theory books on the sidebars?

The title was sensationalized, but there isn't evidence that he dismisses it and allows it to go on.
