Catholic church scandal again

While that may be true of some, those people eventually become adults, and can then decide for themselves, can't they?
Perhaps but I understand many radicalised Muslim suicide bombers don’t get to become adults. In fact, you rarely see or hear of a 'mature' suicide bomber.

The facts are that far from destoying lives, believers in Christianity lead healthier and more fulfilled lives than non believers.
Your assertions are far from fact.The pew study finds no happiness difference in many countries.I have no idea how they come to there conclusions,and even they find religious people tend to be fatter and less fit.
For the sake of debate,let us assume that Christians are happier than non Christians.That is never ever,any excuse for teaching children the contents of the bible as scientific fact.The Earth is 6k years old,Noah’s flood created the Grand Canyon in 1 year,evolution is nonsense,God was never created,,God is eternal,etc etc,,Society cannot teach people 2000 old nonsense as fact,just because it very dubiously might make them happier.Science has no problem stating it does not have all the answers to the above questions,but through Astronomy,Geology,DNA science and a Myriad of other small discoveries,it advances.Reliigion on the other hand,has the bible,no evidence,,and it’s only answer is,,,it is all down to god,you cannot understand god,,he is limitless...Full stop.

  • Human beings can get to know God through prayer, worship, love, and mystical experiences
  • Human beings can get to know God through God's grace - that is through his love and his power
God the Son
  • God lived on earth as Jesus
  • Jesus was both wholly God and wholly human
  • Jesus was born to a human woman, Mary, but conceived of the Holy Spirit
  • Because Jesus was wholly human he was subject to pain, suffering, and sorrow like other human beings

Have you read the bible.
 
They eat too many loaves and fish
Religious people are not fatter or thinner than any othe group.
Any diffences are probably due to the fact that Christians tend to be in the older age groups and as such will more prone to health issues such obesity.
 
You don't have any response to the scandals of child abuse, and mistreatment of vulnerable people, then.
No, because my original post was about Durham Plumber making a sweeping statement about Christianity, it was you who up a strawman argument about child abuse by Roman Catholic priests.
However as you ask.

According to the bible, old testament and new testament, any person who indulges in sexual perversion in any form, then there is only one penalty and that is death.
What is your response.
 
This is what I said.

No strawman required.


Having your children sodomised by a priest, whose Bishop sends him away to do it again in a new parish, does not help anyone to lead healthier and more fulfilled lives.
 
Ha, ha, ha.

You're saying that priests and bishops are not Christians.

an unconvincing excuse used by apologists for crime and abuse.

Remember what I said?
I am saying that priests and Bishops are members of religious institutions.
Whether they are Christians is another matter.
 
Fools! All tiptoeing around the elephant in the room with your "all religions are evil" weaseling.

President Macron of France is taking some kind of stand against islam. He is standing alone though; none of the other cowardly governments want to join him. He has gone from micron to Macron in my estimation.

France has suffered greatly. Douglas Murray, another heroic anti-islam writer, asks who will help France.

Yeah read that earlier today, possibly he's being hung out to dry by most other EU leaders, or he's looked at Marine Le Pens ratings and decided he needs to look tough.
'Kick out the Muslims and steal the English fish', in France, that's probably a winning policy.
