@BlueSkyKing I enjoy spreading the truth and giving people the opportunity hear the other side, to hear something that is different from the same shite that we are given by the 6 corporations that own all of the television, newspapers, radio and internet content. From there, they have the free will to either accept or reject it.

@SW-User You're definitely giving us the opportunity to hear the other side; the truth, not so much. But it is valuable to be aware of the danger posed by people like you, so we can more effectively resist it. It's why I occasionally listen to right-wing talk radio.

@SW-User You sure picked the place with the least audience.

@SW-User And Jesus cursed a fig tree for not bearing fruit (and yes, I'm aware that this is interpreted as symbolic of the nation of Israel). But taken literally, that would be the action of an insane person - yet you follow him anyway.

I never said Richard Dawkins should be taken as an infallible guide in every area of life. Realistically, it would be impossible to prevent parents from religiously indoctrinating their children. My point is, you have an opinion that the public school system is "indoctrinating" children, while I have the same opinion of religious schools.

By the way, pedophilia and other forms of sexual abuse when committed by religious leaders are often covered up by the churches and other institutions they are members of. So at least Dawkins is being honest, and not pretending to condemn pedophilia while secretly engaging in it.

@LeopoldBloom How in the world can you equate righteous judgement of inaction, idleness and disobedience to that? That's not even worth responding to.

Real Christians condemn and have always condemned the pedophilia that goes on within the Catholic Church (which is not Christian) and anywhere else it goes on.

You're really grasping at straws here.

Richard Dawkins is probably a pedophile himself, because only a pedophile would defend pedophilia.

@SW-User "Real Christians" is the No True Scotsman argument. It would be more accurate to say that some Christians engage in sexual assault, while others facilitate this, and others condemn them.

You're also misrepresenting Dawkins' views. I found this quote from his Twitter feed:

[quote]Mild pedophilia is bad. Violent pedophilia is worse. If you think that's an endorsement of mild pedophilia, go away and learn how to think.[/quote]

That's like saying, stealing a purse is bad, stealing a car is worse, and someone taking that to be an endorsement of purse snatching. And it's even worse to accuse the person saying that of being a purse snatcher themselves. Doesn't your so-called "religion" have a prohibition against bearing false witness?
