[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is actually incomprehensible to me, because if someone really believes in that religion, then how could they violate its laws?  I mean, I know there are occasions when people make a mistake and fall in love and just can't help it, but the serial cheaters who don't even try are the ones who confuse me.  [/quote]

Hundreds of priests have abused kids. Many messed up people use religion as a shield to make them and others feel better about themselves. [/quote]

Millions of parents, teachers, doctors, elected officials, etc, have abused kids.

Many messed up people use drugs, alcohol ,money, political power and influence, their position of authority within countless institutions and communities, etc, as a shield to make themselves and others feel better about themselves.

Lots of people get away with their abuse, too. They are never held to account for their abuses. Religious institutions are not the only institutions that abuse kids, women, etc. That doesn’t mean religious institutions should not be held accountable for the abuse that takes place within said institutions- they should be.

Foster homes, juvenile detention facilities, schools, both public and private, you name it- there are predators seeking out children to abuse. Any institution or person or group charged with the care and protection of kids is just that. Look at the thread on the Dalai Lama- dude was caught publicly asking a young boy to suck his tongue, and lots of people are offering excuses for his disgusting sexual abuse. It’s malignant and foul. Tell me, if a Catholic priest was caught doing the same thing, who would be rushing in to give cultural excuses for the priest? [/quote]
