Newsflash: countries have issues with other countries all the time. Now look into Iran and Saudi Arabia. Little bigger differences there.

All you’re doing is trying to defend the indefensible by trying to say “but look at all these other places that also do some less bad stuff!”

doesn’t change Saudi Arabia being deplorable. Guess when they got rid of slavery.

Well no one electrocutes folks anymore. And only in a small number of mouth breather states do they still bother executing people. ( which in itself, is not a barbaric thing necessarily when dealing with people who are proven mass murderers etc etc )

But nice try saying “The US is just as bad as Saudi Arabia so stop criticizing them!”

You seem intent on talking about their promoted political beliefs. I’m talking about their above background levels of criminality.

It’s just possible, a pro civil rights preacher can also do nefarious things, and grift their followers as they preach morality…

And you and I both know this extends well beyond the Catholic Church. They just had a habit of making child rape their main goal as an organization.

Maybe look into Hillsong when you have a chance.

Of course he’s against sexual abuse. Find me a pastor, a priest, that says otherwise. Until they’re found out. They’re in a profession literally about ethics and morality, yet statistics show they’re generally worse than the general population at horrific acts.

No amount of spin or anecdotes changes the fact organized religion is among the worst perpetrators of what they allegedly preach against.

It’s not my job to be a moralist, I, like all humans, have plenty of failings. The difference is I don’t tell people how they should live. I’m not that arrogant.

“But my guy was a good one who didn’t fiddle with kids!” Is a refutation. ( and also anecdotal compared to the well known statistics and abuses performed by the professionally religious )

The next time you call someone “unhinged” for disliking people who’s entire job being about morality, failing in criminal and horrific ways, actually learn how to respond.

Cos turns out, people are allowed to be angry at child rape by professional moralists, and all their other criminal activities.
