Heinous act of a few? THOUSANDS of cases. TENS OF THOUSANDS.
My side doesn't use it's basis of existence as a manipulation tool to abuse children. Simple.
Also, don't confuse it as just being manipulation of a child. It is also abuse of people in general. How many struggling people are giving up their money they need to appease this religion? You think I enjoyed sitting in church while my single dad, who worked 3 jobs, was putting $50 into the basket while I was at home heating up dried mashed potatoes from a bag?
Religion is a predatory scam. I bet you have not given up your worldy possessions to help the poor and sick (Luke 12:33). I bet you also have different feelings about immigrants.
Religion is not only a scam, it is hypocrisy. Only fools fall for it.
Gd that must make you smarter than Dostoevsky, Augustine, Tolstoy and Newton.
Funny, I've read a lot of their works, a lot of your posts and I'm struggling to find justification for calling them fools in comparison to you.
