Why is it those that are super pious have the most sickening guilt and horrors to hide?
Do you have any statistics or studies? Or are you just on some anti-Christianity kick?
Im afraid this is the sort of world we live in now, a very sick one where no one can be trusted and those who we are suppose to look up to and put our trust in are the worst offenders. Some people should never be allowed to become parents and some should never be allowed to draw breath no one is safe in this horrible world
Man... you're more pessimistic than me. I want to have faith in humanity, but I can't help think that too many people suck. But yeah - some
people... not some Christians or some Atheists or some Muslims or some Teenagers. Some people suck - and the reasons, causes, and contributing factors are vast and complex.
THIS is why I hate the church, and jebus, save me from your followers! Those GD ultra right wing, christian zealots, seem to be the wrost offenders. I love it when they finally get caught with a gay prostitute and meth. Seems those who protest the most.....
12 years of Roman Catholic school and I finally turned atheist when my senior year religion teacher played Imagine and tried to pick it apart. I'm not a fan of organized religion at all. But I think there is plenty of "little stuff" - hypocrisy and whatnot - to look at and question.
As much as I am anti-religion, I am also tired of the fanatics that want to jump on religion for crap like this. How many "straight" guys might pick on some feminine dude at a bar with his buddies and then hook up on CL for some "str8 m2m" sex. How many atheists are busted with meth?
People - not just religious people - can be hypocritical, twisted, sick, disturbed, etc., etc.
This woman sounds like some very sick individual. I fail to see how her devout Christianity had anything to do with the situation. I don't know how she rationalized that, but I don't care the slightest. I don't even think the anti-gay alliance link means anything either - in this fucked up society, ffm is often considered hot while mmf is gay. Girls can kiss on College Students Gone Wild, but guys doing it still squicks us. At most, the religion, profession, and alliances are all just some ironic coincidences.
Recently, a serial killer was in the news here. He killed a bunch of people across the nation. His last victim was local, and he committed suicide in prison after he was busted for that. After this, it was revealed that he came from a religious family. His pastor mentioned how this guy claimed to be atheist - the pastor was worried for him. Now I'm not saying religion would have saved him or atheism had anything to do with him being a serial killer. I'm not even saying his religious upbringing had anything to do with it.
But he is an example of some sicko, and he happened to claim to be atheist. Meanwhile, his family claimed to be religious, and AFAIK, none of them are serial killers.
So, yeah - I'm not a fan of religion. But when people immediately jump on that instead of looking at the issues, then we might forget the issues and just have yet another debate about God or religion or whatever. Religious cover-ups - that is different. But sometimes religion is not the issue.
