Just not in diddling children?It does for many.
Religious people give more to charity and volunteer more than atheists/agnostics do.

Less God, Less Giving?
Religion and generosity feed each other in fascinating wayswww.philanthropyroundtable.org
I’ve been in both situations. I was a public school kid for 13 years. I was Catholic for 18, and an Altar Boy for 3 or 4.That's fine, the data in my link shows priests are LESS likely to abuse kids than teachers are, but you can still keep your stereotypes.

I don’t recall anything inappropriate in either place. All I know is that there were ample opportunities for that priest to be alone with me. It was a small, one-priest Parrish, and I was often the only attendant. Some of the Catholic School kids did errands for the priest, and even took fishing trips with him.
My grade school had 3 classrooms in one large room, with two pull curtains. The principal’s office had glass windows facing the admin area. I don’t ever remember being in any such situation at school. There was always another adult within sight or at least shouting distance.
@BrianNole777, I know you gave up on our conversation, but I was thinking about something earlier that I wanted to ask. Assuming that there is life on other planets in different solar systems that god must have created, how many times do you think he’s used the line he obviously used on Mary?
God - “Het baby, do you want to birth the savior of your species?”
I bet he gets lots of virgin tail with that line.
I’ll take my chances.That's a mystery.

I agree 100%, but it is fun to fvck with people like you on occasion.Well, I try not to debate. I've done it less this year.
All it does is cement other people's positions. It's probably better to never talk politics or religion.

Arguing Is Pointless
It was lunchtime and the seven of us — two kids and five adults — would be in the car for the next three hours as we drove from New York City to upstate Connecticut for the weekend. We decided to get some takeout at a place on the corner of 88th and Broadway. I […]hbr.org

Why bother if you know it’s not going to change any minds? I just mess with you because it’s entertaining, and you don’t get too bent out of shape.I'm trying to provide a defense while knowing it won't change anyone's mind.

Oh hell no, they’re even worse than your ilk!Have you or @globalhawk ever debated anti-vaxxers?
I'm a pro-vaccine zealot and have had 0 success debating them.

Where do you get these stats? Those don’t hold up in my neck of the woods.Anti-vaxxers are like 80% of Americans now...same as atheists.![]()

U.S. Church Membership Falls Below Majority for First Time

Yes, the locals call it god’s country.Wow.
Do you live in Iowa?
Rapists from every stripe and origin suck. Priests, gays, teachers, trans, coaches, Mayors, cops,… all rapists suck.I know I've posted this again and again and you don't believe it, but 5-10% of men in every group are sexual abusers. That may be a low estimate. It could be 20%.
Pastors, teachers, drag queens, rabbis, guidance counselors, etc., etc. included.
Most abuse happens in families.
1 out of 4 females are sexually abused during their lifetime.
1 out of 6 males are sexually abused during their lifetime.
It's very common and Christians don't have a higher abuse rate than other groups.
I know you don't like Christianity and that's fine, but your posts are completely one sided.
I could post cases of drag queens being charged with sexual abuse. All you have to do is Google.

Priests Commit No More Abuse Than Other Males
The priesthood is being cast as the refuge of pederasts. In fact, priests seem to abuse children at the same rate as everyone else.www.newsweek.com
They don't believe drag queens are setting a good example for kids in child oriented environments like schools or libraries.

Stoopid post, not relevant to the thread.So, now we can call out the leftists who brag about being a santuary city then complaining when others send illegal aliens to them. (or in Denver's case, shipping them out themselves) Or can we now point out the hypocracy of the leftists crowing about being against election interference while at the same time, filing 91 charges against Trump? Asking for a friend.
Yes, the locals call it god’s country.
Boom. Close the door.LOL. What public school district ever just re-assigned proven molestors to a different school?
The sin of the Catholic Church was/is hiding these crimes, and just moving the offenders to a new Parrish (sp?), where they have a fresh group of victims.
Being a heathen you may not realize that churchs use donations to help those in need. Unlike your Pope Joe who uses tax dollars to payoff his Chinese overlords.How do those stats change when you eliminate volunteering and giving to the church?
My area(Decorah) has plenty of democrats, but yeah, it’s mostly rural, uneducated & old fvcks who all worship at the Trump throne. With our oldest being trans, we’ve definitely considered moving North into Minnesota, but he really likes DHS(rated # 2 HS in IA) and has tremendous support here.That's Trump country.
You haven't moved yet??

I’m 43, turn 44 in a week, he’s 18. Why do you ask?How old are you and your kid?

No, we raised him to be the best person he can be. His grandparents definitely tried to indoctrinate him any chance they got, so religion isn’t foreign to him. He’s not religious. Are you implying that he’s trans because he’s atheist?Just curious.
Did you raise him atheist?
