[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I’m atheist. I’m fine with PP pointing out sexual misconduct by atheists. It’s vastly outstripped by religious sexual misconduct, but any sexual misconduct is reprehensible and should have a harsh light shone on it. I’m not like the religious folks who try to hide their sexual abusers. Show the atheists who are sexual abusers. Let everyone know who they are. Don’t be like the religious people who defend sexual abuse by their leaders. [/quote]

Only outstripped because there are vastly fewer atheists than believers. It would be interesting to see percentages of each group who are sexual abusers.

Also, if you read the links, two atheist organizations did try to hide a sexual abuser. Also, Sam Harris defended the leading atheist physicist who sexually abused women.

I do agree that the lesson here is that people suck. It’s just straight-up hypocrisy to claim some people suck more than others. [/quote]

So your concern isn’t really sexual abuse, it’s that people talk about the avalanche of abuse by religious leaders. Your position is horrifying, but I suppose it is completely inline with how religions elevate sexual abusers, so I guess it doesn’t surprise me. [/quote]

Wow, what a terrible deflection right there. Of course I’m concerned about both religious and atheist abuse—I never said otherwise. You, however, seem determined to sweep the high percentage of atheist abuse under the rug. [/quote]

No, I am fine publicizing and spreading the news about atheist abusers. I’m not like you. I don’t defend sexual abuse by religious OR atheist leaders. [/quote]

Please stop with the BS and lies.  Not a single religious person on this thread has defended religious abusers.

You atheists, however, keep trying to deflect from atheist abuse with funky stats and deflections about religion. [/quote]

So the atheists are deflecting, but starting a spinoff thread about atheist abuse because the LDS thread was unfair is... what, exactly?[/quote]

OP here. Stop lying, I never said the LDS thread was “unfair.” I’ve condemned religious abuse several times on this thread. Also, I’m not LDS or Catholic.

[b]Some (not all) of you atheists clearly have a double standard, [/b]and this thread highlights it. Post something about atheist abuse and you get accused of cherry picking, being stupid (why can’t we get rid of these trolls?), you have to wade through multiple whataboutisms regarding religion, some pretty innumerate comparisons about shares of abusers in different groups, and more.[/quote]

OP, seriously, no doubt but you have double standard too. So, what's new? Go find something more useful to better your life. [/quote]
