Did it make you feel better to say that? You would even feel better if you were objective. Trust me. It is extremely powerful.It isn't my job to make you be objective. That is your choice to make. I can help by pointing out your subjectivity, but I can't make you be objective. Religion is what religion is and it has done what it has done. I can point out to you all the good that religion has done, but that still will not make you objective. Only you can do that for yourself.I don't deny that, but in this specific instance did I miss the good that you attributed to the Catholic Church?You miss quite a lot.
Isn't that your job? I stated facts, they are neither good or bad, they merely are. Like I said, you can make up your own mind as to whether that's good or bad. Same for the church's approach to and history with pedophilia. Good, bad, indifferent? Up to you.
"Religion is what religion is and it has done what it has done."
See? Doesn't it feel good to find common ground.
Yes of course, you're special, like everyone else who has an opinion and is totally convinced they are objective while anyone who doesn't say exactly the same thing is subjective. And you are a follower of this religion, so YOU'RE of course the "objective" one. Your denial is powerful isn't it.
