I believe in God. I don’t go to church.Whenever someone says this, I ask them to explain the difference. The answers tend to be rare and unclear. It's your turn.
Can you help a poor atheist out? I mean I know I'm not religious, but could I be spiritual? How would I know?
I'll let them know.

I haven’t read half this thread, just wanted to give my take on Brian’s defense of the Catholic Church. Like only 10% of the priests raped kids or whatever. Sorry dude, but the child rape was known within the hierarchy of the church, and purposely covered up to save face. Fvck the Catholic Church.
So you're saying instances of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church stopped in 2002?It was way less than 10%.
That ended in 2002 and since then, there have hardly been any abuse cases.
The Church has used best practices to deal with this issue since 2002.
The incidents of clerical abuse in recent years (i.e., since 2002) are down to a trickle. Many of the newer abuse cases since 2002 have been perpetrated by visiting international priests here on vacation or sabbatical who have not gone through the extensive training and screening that American clerics now go through.
The Dallas Charter and subsequent Church reforms have resulted in a number of industry-standard and even groundbreaking policies and procedures to keep children safe in Church-related activities and keep abusing priests out of ministry.
