    The church I regularly attend has no known cases of child abuse.

    I specifically said sect and denomination, not church as in the building. Don’t try to play even more dumb than you are. Name your denomination and I’ll be able to find at least one child abuse scandal.

    An environment where they’ll be an unquestioned authority figure with the power of heaven and hell as far as the children know and lots of time alone with said miniature slaves is the perfect opportunity for a child molester. Especially in the completely inhumane sects where they expect them to be celibate for life as soon as they enter the priesthood.

    Athiesm is inherently evil by the Christian definition because it leads people away from God.

    Fun fact: the vast majority of atheists started out religious and then decided for themselves to leave your cult. Some people not sharing your delusions isn’t some grand conspiracy to corrupt you and other “righteous” zealots.

      I’m not going to doxx myself by telling you the name of that church, but it’s low-church. Meaning that it has nothing to do with other churches in the denomination (unlike high Church like Roman Catholic or the Church of England where it’s one big institution)

      And? Athiesm is a new concept, since most of the world is religious, people emerge with athiesm. And a lot of athiests grow up in a lukewarm religious environment anyway.

        Ah, so you’re in a Christianity-derived cult. The unhinged zealotry makes more sense now.

        No, atheism is the default condition of human beings before anyone indoctrinates them.

        Other way around. Literally every single human on earth is born an atheist and then 99.99% of the people who become religious do so because others told them they had to.

        And a lot of athiests grow up in a lukewarm religious environment anyway.

        Maybe because it’s easier to escape a cult that’s less intense about the threats of eternal hellfire and shunning from society? Just a thought.
