Excuse me while I giggle. But really, is anyone surprised?

Just give up on organized religion already. Give priests power, and some of them are going to abuse this power. You never know which ones will and which ones won't, so why leave children with them?

Sure, most priests probably don't do this; just as most sharks aren't going to attack humans; but if you're not sure whether a particular shark will or won't attack you, isn't it best to avoid being in the same body of water as them?

Thing is in any hierarchal structure the people most prone to abusing their power are the ones most likely to wind up on top of the pyramid.

I've said since the safeguarding laws were introduced in this country that the people most helped by them are the ones who want to collate details on vulnerable people to abuse them. Seems some of those people agree.

Being a Padeofinder General is a great way to get hold of free kiddy porn.

Why does he remind me of that one actor?

Please.

From just the title, I was scratching my head - I mean, I would assume that someone in the business of investigating child sexual abuse would have evidence retrieved from the course of their investigations - certainly the FBI division probably has a giant database, so that they can identify new victims and track the appearance of new content*

.

Then, of course, the article mentions how they tracked him down after he was uploading kiddy porn to a file-sharing network ... yeah.

What really galls me is how he's all upset that the Church is "ostracizing" him. Gee, I wonder why they'd do a thing like that.

So, when people are against "organized religion", they mean things with a rigid, tiered hierarchy like Catholics and Mormons have, and aren't against, say, attending a small Methodist church or taking part in a coven. I didn't actually know that.

Hail Martin Septim!

no we are against organized religion (the Abrahamic one's are mainly what they are talking about). This exchange in the movie Dogma is the anti-organized religion person view.

Rufus: He still digs humanity, but it bothers Him to see the shit that gets carried out in His name - wars, bigotry, televangelism. But especially the factioning of all the religions. He said humanity took a good idea and, like always, built a belief structure on it.

Bethany: Having beliefs isn't good?

Rufus: I think it's better to have ideas. You can change an idea. Changing a belief is trickier...

Rigid beliefs aren't religion-exclusive, but all right. It's pretty much eclectics, agnostics and atheists in that camp, then?

So the guy is a layman, right? *

I guess that's an improvement, we see the Church is democratizing... *snicker*

Although in this case it's worth remembering that this guy isn't a Priest.

Atheistic dogmas - such as the belief that killing all the stockbrokers will solve this country's problems - are no better.

I have no love of Xianity either, but let's keep on topic.

A single phrase renders Christianity a delusional cult

that's not any atheist belief, that my solution to the wall street problem and that was an Ad Hominem

agreed. -takes another bite of irony from the news article-

Why do I feel, lock's coming in 5... 4... 3...

"Atheism is the religion whose followers are easiest to troll"

OP: Try to explain the article in the post, instead of attempting to fit everything in the title.

And I don't see how a story of an investigator being investigated became escalated to the religion bashing. Ironic yes, but that's by the virtue of the person's occupation.

Now using Trivialis handle.

I don't either and i had to put the title like that because it was too long.

That's beside the point. The point is that expecting one walk of life (like priesthood) to be virtuous will be an incentive to some of them to abuse this expectation, so it's a bad idea to begin with. The guy may not technically be a priest, but my point is that stories like these reflect on the futility of such means of trying to clean up the priesthood in the first place.

What I meant to say is, it is a dogma without religion. Organized religion isn't the problem: dogma is.
