Callixtus posted...Everyone want to speculate about all sorts of crazy reasons why this correlation might exist, but very few have considered a rather simple one: belief in God is a force for moral good. The "Catholic Church" never molested any boys. A few priests have. There is no evidence that Catholic priests have sexually abused children more than members of any other profession that has close contact with children or religious denomination for that matter, and the majority of children are abused by family members. So maybe family members are a force of evil, right? The only distinguishing thing about the Catholic abuse cases was that a few bishops were not forthcoming, which is certainly unforgivable, but is not an argument against religious belief in any way, unless you follow the sort of fallacious reasoning common on these boards to point out the most outrageous elements of a particular group and ignore all examples to the contrary. --- KhanofKhans, KhanJohnson, Saloonist, Basileos ...
