Broad strokes... I know plenty of people who are Christians who attend church and hold very progressive views. I'm sorry that your experience with believers has been so poor. Please do try to remember that nobody talks about the person who isn't bothering anyone with their beliefs.

    They enable the ones who do cause problems.

    Helping others do harm but not physically doing it yourself does not absolve you of responsibility.

    Once again, you are painting with broad strokes. If a bad apple spoils the bunch then all of humanity is bad apples. A Christian following the teachings of Jesus in Scripture over the cultural American WASP perception of what those teachings are, does not necessarily enable those WASPs to do harm.

    Many of them do speak out against and actively oppose those who use religion as an excuse for bigotry.

    Then some idiot responds with "No True Scotsman" and thinks they made a brilliant retort against someone who you would think they would be on the same side as.

    No those people just are friends and enabling the pedos of their local church. You are the people you associate with and the church is the biggest pedo organization on the planet.

    You are the people you associate with

    Do they associate with people 2000 miles away? Or do they just like the same book?

    Is everyone who enjoys Lord of the Rings responsible for the actions of other LotR fans?

    Can you read? “Of their local church” is what I clearly stated.

    Take your straw man elsewhere.

    You think every church has pedos in it and you accuse me of building a straw man?

    Statistically yes. Yes they do. The Catholic Church alone has the highest percentage of pedos from ANY organization.

    In the most recent news it’s once again not trans or gay people grooming children, it’s the fucking leader of a church. AGAIN.

    The Catholic Church

    Catholics and Christians, while similar, go to different churches. So despite the fact that:

    “Of their local church” is what [you] clearly stated

    You are in fact associating them with people who do not attend "their local church".

    Bwahahah Catholics and Christian churches groom and breed pedos. Stop trying defending the difference or their capabilities to touch the alter boys 😂

    Choosing to go or not they wear the cape and masks of their respective religious cults. Try as much as you want to separate the believers from the beliefs, just say you enjoy the company and logic of pedos.

    I'm sorry, I see you just wanted to knock your straw man around and are unable to handle actual push back. I'll leave you to it.

    Bwahahah do whatever mental gymnastics you need to justify associating with pedos and their enablers.

    Now go get blocked and scuttle off on your knees your priest daddy is ready to be serviced. 😘

    I'm in agreement.. there are so many kind, compassionate religious people who follow the good parts of the literature that I hate to see the entire religion maligned. Some people are better because of it.
