White priests were molesting children so by your metric everyone following that religion was also doing that.
No, if you actually read what I wrote: all the priests should go to jail and the religion should be banned. I think I’ve gone enough against the Lemmy hive-mind even without you putting your (surely unintended) lies into my mouth.
I heard about a dude who killed someone with a teaspoon.
How unfortunate! Once you start hearing about it every other week, maybe we should do something about that, cause that would imply spoons make it easier to kill someone and should be banned. Like we do with guns, you know?
As with guns, spoons, or religion, it’s the people that are the problem, not the instruments they use. But if you take away their tools, it gets harder for them.
Yet you don’t see how you generalising billions of people by the actions of a minuscule fraction of those.
Religion doesn’t enable people to do these things. Bad people do and if it wasn’t religion it would be something else.
How many teachers also molest children? Teaching isn’t something we should ban, so it isn’t the tool. It’s people that gravitate towards things that will get them access to children.
Religion doesn’t enable people to do these things.
True! Religion just makes it possible to control masses for the leaders. And a clearer consciousness for the bad actors. After all, how can it be bad if the speaker for the god himself told you it’s okay?
Without religion bad actors would rise up, because they’re bad
True. So we should allow violent pedophile cults to continue in the meantime? No progress at all, until we find the perfect solution? Which doesn’t exist, so just “no progress at all”?

Again. Without religion bad actors would rise up, because they’re bad and that’s just what it takes to rise up.
Enough people are controlled in the west without religion, well I guess you could say capitalism is a religion for some.
