Lazy arguments both of you .... Sexual abuse is not just a religious thing ..... if it where it would be an easy problem to solve.... 
[/quote]

Maaaaaaate come on.

Kids in orphanages where this rampant abuse took place were mostly in there because religion deemed it unacceptable to have a child out of wedlock. RELIGION. That is an unequivocal fact. (My mate was taken from his mother in the early 70s.) So much for christian charity.

Lump them together with males and females that have sworn a lifetime of celibacy and you have a recipe for disaster.

And of course sexual abuse is not just a religious thing but one minute you're telling us (not you but others) christians have higher levels of morality because of religion and the next is oh it's got nothing to do with it.

If anything it proves religion has no benefit when it comes to making people behaving morally.

No its not.  Its one reason.  The financial support for single mothers was more or less absent, as was the support for their children, outside of the church and orphanages.  Yes there was abuse of children in church run orphanages, but even so in some cases, it was better for the mother's overall life prospects as well to give up her child. You can't hold the past to the standards of the present.

Anyway its not as if secular institutions and wards of the state, foster care have covered themselves in glory either.  Some people are evil.  Some join religion.  Others work for the State.

Religion has been a constant throughout human history.  You often present religion as holding progress back, but in truth you cannot have any idea where life would have ended up without it at any given time, let alone over the entire course of human history. You simply cannot know how things may have turned out without throughout the thousands of years of its existence.  What you're doing when you say that is you're extrapolating your own moral compass shaped by you own present experiences to societies and times that bare no similarity to yours.

No I'm not basing what RWNJs are saying. That statement is pretty much as bland as you could get. Not a fundamentalist interpretation at all.

Right so now you're telling me non-believers get to go to heaven? Does that also apply to people who aren't of the right faith?

But that's the thing with you blokes. YOU CHOOSE which bit to believe and which not to.

To give the simplest example some christians are against pre-marital sex, others aren't. They both can't be right. There is no grey here. 

I'm not picking on you. I think you're one of the most reasonable god believing blokes here but it's an observable fact that you, Enzo and lowercase js have wildly different ideas based on, let's be honest, what you (or what you've been told) to think are christian tenets. And you can't all be right.

[/quote]

Why cant we all be right?... Belief (whether that is in principles, morals or religion) is an individual choice mate... 

[/quote]

I don't want to come across as combative here but that is a very convenient get out of jail card isn't it?

And it's not just you that says it. Most religious people are the same. My mum says practically the same thing.

It's the perfect salve for 'I don't have to think too hard about any of this if we all just believe what we want to believe'.

I am interested if you think serial killers get to go to heaven if they are truly repentant though. Probably a better question for js or Enzo.

Pretty sure raping children 400 years ago was frowned upon but correct me if I'm wrong.

So basically what I said, you just took longer to get there.

I agree that kids are smart.  So smart that when they ask you "why he has two dads", what they're actually confused about in that situation comes down to a more fundamental question: where babies come from.

Over to you Muz..

Since the dawn of time EVERY single conquering army has raped and pillaged, regardless of religion or lack of. 


Since the dawn of time we've had religion and according to the arguments at length on the other thread it's been a fundamental driver of man's moral compass.

You can't have it both ways.

And there's a difference between a conquering army and an orphanage. Not that you didn't know that.
[/quote]

So are you saying that evil sexual perversions enacted by despicable pieces of shit are a result of their faith in a god, any god? Seriously? 

So the fat sack of shit in Dog Dick Creek Far North QLD, with thousands of files  on his computer of pre teen porn that catfishes a troubled girl and rapes her senseless and buries her in the outback is a Christian?

I agree that the Catholic church seems to attract a terrifying majority of these types of people to its ranks but it is NOT the sole institution that perpetrated horrors... Im sure the Lebensborn and the Tyskerbamas of the 30s and 40s? Surely that was the Church's (any church's) fault?

It might be convenient but is is factual mate... What I , Enzo and johnsmith ( as a small sample size) believe  could be VASTLY different in many things... Its for YOUR convenience to you lump us in as "Chrstianity". Its not different for you defending yourself against being a "leftard" "woke" "Marxisit" whatever.....

Swap out 'christianity' for 'god believing' and the point still stands.

Choosing what to believe means you don't have to think too hard about these things. 

I think a lot of people answer yes to 'do you believe in god' without giving one dot of thought to some of the things we've been talking about.

It's presumptuous of me to say but I think your belief in god is more a philosophy on life than an actual belief based on religious text.

I could have that way wrong.

I would a lot use religion as a device to commit mass sexual abuse, and that is the reason for being 

Different types of power, control, coercion and aquistion

if it's money, power, status or kids. The needs are they same and attract them.

Again how convenient. 'I can never understand it therefore I won't contemplate it. Trust in the lord. Praise jesus. Hallelujah.'

All you are really proving is you will accept something that god tells you to PROVIDED it aligns with your ideas on it in the first place.

Thats the problem mate, they are NOT protesting a war... thats the absolute stupidity of it..They couldn't care less if the Palestinians despise them more than the Jews... thats not the point to these people.. If some woke dingaling comes out tomorrow and say "Palestine is the enemy, we have ALWAYS been at war with Palestine the enemy of the true left wing Israeli people" they will tear up the banners and make new ones and NOT skip a beat..... Its dangerously close to Orwellian shit mate.... 

Ok all I am saying it seems an actual real thing happening at least 

I am not advocating for them. I think they are fucking morons

That's irrelevant to what you asked me. You were saying 'you're extrapolating your own moral compass shaped by you own present experiences to societies and times that bare no similarity to yours'.

So I'm saying some morals were similar to ours back then given that raping children 400 years ago was frowned upon.

No. For the fifth time I'm not saying that. I'm arguing that being a christian or any other god believing/fearing person doesn't make you morally superior given that religious people are just as capable of horrible things as non-believers are.

The whole multi-page argument on the other thread about morals was that without religion we'd have none. It's clearly bullshit because even god believing/fearing christian adherents are capable of the most sadistic and sick crimes imaginable.

And no, for the 5th time, that doesn't mean all christians are like that.

I'm arguing morals have nothing to do with religion.

Maaaaaaate come on.

Kids in orphanages where this rampant abuse took place were mostly in there because religion deemed it unacceptable to have a child out of wedlock. RELIGION. That is an unequivocal fact. (My mate was taken from his mother in the early 70s.) So much for christian charity.

Lump them together with males and females that have sworn a lifetime of celibacy and you have a recipe for disaster.

And of course sexual abuse is not just a religious thing but one minute you're telling us (not you but others) christians have higher levels of morality because of religion and the next is oh it's got nothing to do with it.

If anything it proves religion has no benefit when it comes to making people behaving morally.

No its not.  Its one reason.  The financial support for single mothers was more or less absent, as was the support for their children, outside of the church and orphanages.  Yes there was abuse of children in church run orphanages, but even so in some cases, it was better for the mother's overall life prospects as well to give up her child. You can't hold the past to the standards of the present.

Anyway its not as if secular institutions and wards of the state, foster care have covered themselves in glory either.  Some people are evil.  Some join religion.  Others work for the State.

Religion has been a constant throughout human history.  You often present religion as holding progress back, but in truth you cannot have any idea where life would have ended up without it at any given time, let alone over the entire course of human history. You simply cannot know how things may have turned out without throughout the thousands of years of its existence.  What you're doing when you say that is you're extrapolating your own moral compass shaped by you own present experiences to societies and times that bare no similarity to yours.

This is all garbage too. Religion is the reason why children out of wedlock were seen as an abomination and treated duly so. 

As to the second part. That is true. More's the pity.

It might be convenient but is is factual mate... What I , Enzo and johnsmith ( as a small sample size) believe  could be VASTLY different in many things... Its for YOUR convenience to you lump us in as "Chrstianity". Its not different for you defending yourself against being a "leftard" "woke" "Marxisit" whatever..... 

To answer your question with a question - do YOU believe a solder in war is a serial killer?

Yes and no and it depends.

Is stealing food to feed your hungry child a crime?

In the USA alone there are 11,000 incidents against the Catholic Church ONLY, only the catholic church ffs! (not including other christian churches and other faiths etc)

So Enzo...you just wash that away as good and bad everywhere and there is also abuse in public schools lol?

If 1 organization even had a minute fraction of that - they'd be shut down and classified as a giant paedo ring/

Yeah and it's bizarre that other religions look at the catholic church and go 'yeah that's them though, not us'. 

As if a one sub-sect of christendom and only one sub-sect is guilty of these things.

Swap out 'christianity' for 'god believing' and the point still stands.

Choosing what to believe means you don't have to think too hard about these things. 

I think a lot of people answer yes to 'do you believe in god' without giving one dot of thought to some of the things we've been talking about.

It's presumptuous of me to say but I think your belief in god is more a philosophy on life than an actual belief based on religious text.

I could have that way wrong.

Yes yes I know ... Im a sheeple ... is that the right term?   

You see a "crutch against critical thought" I see a "comfortable explanation as to what its all about"  Your "beef" isnt with me I know that, Im just playing devil's (or in this case Jesus's) advocate.

Im not trying to throw stones but it does seem to be heavily skewed that way.... Don't know if it the fact that they seem to be the only major religion that can't mary and all that pent up tension gets to them..... hard to tell.

Public schools?

are you even serious?
[/quote]

Almost 400 civil claims have been made against the Victorian government for historical child sexual abuse in state schools in the past 12 years, with more than half settled out of court, documents obtained under freedom of information laws show.

Since 2010, 381 claims have been made for abuse that occurred in Victorian state educational settings between 1960 and 2018, including primary and secondary schools, specialist schools, early learning centres and after-school care.

I'm intrigued with something you wrote yesterday. Paraphrasing here but you said something like god sent his son jesus down. Yes?

The holy trinity doesn't strike you as all out of whack? 

I mean god is jesus, jesus is god. Who exactly was jesus talking to on the cross when he said 'why have you forsaken me?'
