Nobody said that. This puts a fine point on the hypocrisy of atheists’ daily slams against Catholics, though.

There are many bad people - some atheists and some religious. Beingg atheists or religious is not the cause of why some are bad. Have we not seen enough of bad on both sides? I don't know why you are picking fight with atheists. That's not very Christian-like.

Providing data is leveling the playing field after years of daily vitriol against Catholics and other believers. Providing data is not “picking a fight” in any sense.

Come on PP. It's called "cherry picking". Be better.

It’s almost comical to argue there is such a thing as institutional atheism. Whereas the entire Catholic and LDS churches are built on being institutions. What people object to is when the institutions cover up sex abuse, and that argument is barely if at all applicable to atheists because while you may have found a couple of associations representing a couple thousand atheists they simply do not cover the vast majority of atheists

Organized religion (including Atheism) is evil. Full stop.

So you’re discounting sexual misconduct by misleading atheists. Got it.

If your point is that powerful orgs cover up misbehavior, well American Atheists covered it up too until BuzzFeed forced them to act. Then Silverman used the atheist old boys network to land another well-paying job with a different atheist group.

You almost sound like you’re excusing atheist sexual misconduct because there are fewer of you. It might be better to notice that, with just a handful of national atheist/humanist orgs, two of them employed this creep.

I’m an atheist but I have nothing to do with American Atheists. I don’t support them and would never give them any money, much less 10% of my income. I don’t see what point you’re trying to make here exactly.

pp is trying to show that atheists are just as bad as religious people when it comes to sexual predation. I think anyone can be a sexual predator, irrespective of religion or lack thereof, and that religion organizations have a long history of covering it up.

If that's what you got out, I can't help you. I honestly don't know why people like you go to church. But, whatever, have a good day. And be a good person PP.

Don't think you Got it, but you sure are trying hard to make atheists look like sexual predators. Any group has a hard time catching up to religions when it comes to sexual predation.

Okay, sure. And so there are atheists also who abuse children and engage in sexual misconduct, just as there are religious leaders in the Catholic and LDS hierarchies.

You've got both atheists and religious believers calling for these people in the atheist spectrum to be held to account. Do we have the same people calling for religious leaders to be held to account? (I hope so.)

The sexual misconduct cases involve leading atheists. People, including Dawkins who supports “mild pedophelia” (see earlier in the thread), who make a living speaking for all atheists. Don’t try to twist this into something it’s not.

Also, the atheist organizations that do exist don't hold the same sway over members as churches do. There's no fear of eternal damnation to keep people in line.

You atheists have a pretty high batting average. Including Dawkins and the guy who started the Man-boy love group. Why do you keep pretending to be holier-than-thou?

Does that mean once you find out there is no god, you will turn into a sexually misconducting atheist? Is fear what's keeping you straight? I hope not.

Stop trying to make this about organizations, it’s so dishonest. The problem is the behavior of individual atheists. Like the NAMBLA guy.
