The Wow I Can't Believe That News Story Thread

I can get down with your argument that supporting catholicism perpetuates pedophlia, but catholic philosophy does not preach or make any attempt to make pedophilia moral or justified. It's important to make that distinction.

I've got a bridge to sell you.

Then show me the evidence.. Something you usually have no difficulty doing when youre right.

I can easily show you evidence of the bible supporting slavery, I'm not aware of any catholic doctrine that cover pedophilia. Enlighten me.

[Frownland]

My evidence is that your requirement for Catholicism "supporting" paedophelia is a misnomer given the actions of the Catholic church that have been going on for thousands of years.

[DwnWthVwls]

Yeah, because those people are not the same thing as what catholicism actually teaches. It's not that difficult of a distinction to understand. Youre cherrypicking evidence by ignoring the majority of catholics whose beliefs would be in direct conflict with pedophilia. I guess none of those catholics count since they don't fit your position.

They're cherrypicking a belief system as a way to justify supporting an institution that perpetuates rape and paedophelia on a global scale and has been for literally thousands of years. I don't think that I'm being unfair here.

You said racism is more taboo than pedophilia. I used the presidency as an example refuting it.

I then explained why racism would be more taboo than pedophilia. Because racism gets used to justify greater atrocities. I know you're not that dumb, so quit pretending.

OK

I now know for certain you don’t know what racism is.

Wow.

This goes beyond tithing too, since becoming a part of a church provides them with a social legitimacy that draws in more people and at the end of the day, more victims. Plus, criticizing Catholicism isn't just an atheist game, give some credit to the KKK.

Racism gets a bigger backlash and more attention because of how much turmoil it's caused through out history and how it's currently utilized in our political system. Currently racism is a much bigger threat (that we know about) corrupting or political system than pedophilia is. I'd say it'd be justified to be considered more taboo to some, but I don't think it is in general like OH is insinuating. It just seems more taboo because it gets more attention. It gets more attention because every time racism is discussed it becomes a debate. Pedophilia doesn't get the same attention because we all agree that if so and so is a child molester they are piece of trash. It's still much more taboo than racism. Nobody really stands up for child ****ers the way the do with racists. Why there isn't a witch hunt? Simple. It doesn't serve anybody's political agenda.

Edit: If OH needs another example I'll refer to the fact that his racist comments haven't garnered as much out rage on here as his comments on ****ing under aged girls. He's gotten away with racism, I think he's actually been banned for talking about ****ing teenaged girls.

When did I call Catholics a race? Where did I lose you? Do I need a chalk board? A diagram? You're supposed to be the teacher FFS.
