Reply to comment by SYLOH in ‘Sick of it’: Catholic women vent frustration over sex, power and abuse by _Brandobaris_

Yeah.

Theism isn't the issue. Creating power structures that get abused has always been the issue.

Creating systemic accountability is incredibly hard.

But wouldn't it basically be impossible to merge theism with accountability?

There's no definitive proof that anyone has spoken to, heard or even seen any devine entity, so the entire system is basically built on hearsay.

And because of that, it's impossible to police, since everyone's argument about how it should be run has the same amount of evidence (zero).

The impossibility of policing is due to the concentration of power. Organizations with access to children often have the problem of child sex abuse. You see this with or without "god" in the mix.

That's the part that grinds my gears, accountability should very easy but there is always some excuse for the greed
