But what he's really saying is this is proof that the catholic church is no more moral than the rest of the assholes in the general population. Oh, no. He is admitting his church is considerably less moral than normal society. In secular organizations pedophiles are revealed, tried and imprisoned. In a church the pedophile priest is kept hidden, moved to another archdiocese and put in charge of Youth Bible Studies.Stop Tzar Vladimir the Condemned!

You have a fever. Indeed. It's a disease spread throughout all our species. Deadly, immoral, evil. It is called religion. Like all evil in society it must be opposed and brought low.Stop Tzar Vladimir the Condemned!

Except that you cant control how people think, what they believe, or make them do anything. There's the rub.

Except that you cant control how people think ... Yes we can. Brainwashing youth and weak-minded alike is how religion recruits its acolytes. We can counter this religious drumbeat of death with constant exposure of reality. Religion is an incompetent selfish emotional salve. You know you are a good example of the uselessness of faith. It has done nothing but confuse you and cause you to bury your head in an absurd fantasy.Stop Tzar Vladimir the Condemned!

I don't have an overly negative view of religious indoctrination, but the trends are hard to ignore. From what I have read, about 80% of Christians are Christians because they grew up in the church. As more and more people leave the church in the US we will see fewer and fewer Christians over time. In my lifetime (if I make it to the average), I may even see the cross-over point where Christians are not longer the majority. The UK seems to be doing just fine with that situation, and I suspect the US will do just fine as well.

If you're correct and this life is all there is, life is meaningless, so it doesn't matter if someone lives in a religious fantasy world.

The decline you speak of is foretold in the Bible ... it heralds the Second Coming of Christ. Bring it on!

Everything has been claimed to herald the Second Coming of Christ. For millennia extending back to earliest history (and undoubtedly extending even before that into prehistory, though nobody thought to write it down). Eg, "There will be wars and rumors of wars." -- so when hasn't there been? I even had a book, "History of the End of the World", which was filled with such examples, the vast majority of which had nothing to do with the Bible.

Silly Rabbit! The Holy Spirit is already here. You and your science have no power nor ability to vanquish Him. Jesus returns later, after humans have mucked up everything. We do owe it to ourselves to give it the old college try, however!

You're probably thinking of Jehovah's Witnesses.
