gays actually wouldn't affect anythnig, so whatever.  abortion is a controversy.  no marriage before sex would make the world a better place though.
you mean no sex before marriage?
yes lol.

personally, i dont like a lot of parts of the catholic religion.  im starting to lean towards the point that everyone should find their own faith and interpret the bible in their own words.  but whatever, everyone should do what they want.

And distort it just like ancient humanity did in the medieval times. Great idea.

Agreed on the highlighted. I really don't like anything that sets arbitrary limits on my actions. As long as it doesn't affect any non-consenting human, go for it.

The way I see things: Human history goes back 10 thousand years. What one guy thought about anything 2 thousand years ago means nil to me, and the idea he knew anything more to life than I do seems kinda crazy. /platitude

as i already said the process of reporting abusive clerics to the local/national authorities is VERY shady

the catholic church hides, relocates and protects priests with a known record of molestation

an honest institution would hand them over and excommunicate them... not so with catholics
I am pretty sure the Catholic church, the Boy Scouts ,The P.G.A., Jet Blue Airlines, Little League, N.F.L. or the U.S. Army has no Forms to keep track of Child molesters as the Police should do that. If any of those Institutions kept records like that they would be sued. If they had a " Known Police record of molestation " they could not be Priests.
( I don't know about the rest. )
This seems like " just an excuse to make a few more side-cracks at Catholics "

Except they did cover things up.  I think some people made the allegations directly to the church, who facilitated pay-offs in some cases and shifted the problem priests around.  Basically, it was handled very, very poorly.  The church did not encourage the abuse directly, but they did impede the investigations with secrecy and stall tactics, and then they didn't actually punish the priests in question internally either.

Father Murphy not only was never tried or disciplined by the church’s own justice system, but also got a pass from the police and prosecutors who ignored reports from his victims, according to the documents and interviews with victims. Three successive archbishops in Wisconsin were told that Father Murphy was sexually abusing children, the documents show, but never reported it to criminal or civil authorities.

10,000 cases of pederasty and clerical sex abuse since 1950 in the american catholic church

is that enough examples of religion 'fucking people'?

k lets do some math.

2010 - 1950 = 60
10,000 / 60 = 166 cases per year

k lets do some logic

10,000 reported and confirmed cases.

worldwide perception of the catholic church as a corrupt financial institution full of ex-nazis and pederasts = numbers dont matter

but hey, it's your religion, not mine. so i dunno why you're 'criticising' me.

I'd make it my business to prank the set of Twilight as often as possible.

But if there was a vampire that old, he'd probably be a doddering old dustfart sitting in a cave somewhere.

But I don't have 5000-year vampire powers of illusion and magic and shit. I'm not going to prison for Twilight, and Forks is a long drive.

Because if you're religious, chances are that (if you're Christian) you believe in supernatural shit like the holy spirit, unless you're faking the whole thing to meet church chicks.
