Ke1t Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 43 minutes ago, Betty Swallicks said: Haha! Anyone who is not agnostic is slightly crazy imo. Possibly correct. We're basically smart meat. There's a whole spectrum of things we don't and can't know, observe, or comprehend, because we're evolved from slime, and our species' high tide mark was arguably when we were swinging from trees and wanking into bananas. Maybe there is a god. Maybe there's a trillion gods. We clearly can't see the fuckers, so anyone saying they know anything about god or gods is a fucking liar or fucking delusional. But there might be. It would also depend on what criteria you have for 'god'. Greek and Norse gods are basically drunken rapists, so if that's a criteria then fine. Rape and alcoholism seems like fairy easy superpowers. Clearly the christian god is a contradictory and impossible creation, though, but if it keeps them happy then let them fill their boots. So long as they're not bothering me. Unfortunately, too often they are bothering me. Not to get all fancy-dan, but the closest you could get me to believing in gods is via Kant and Nietzsche's speculation on the noumenal vs phenomenal, and that is, in fact, why I could possibly agree that Agnosticism is the 'one true faith'. Love New Order. Having said that, I choose to be an atheist, because philosophical exercises aside, there's no more evidence that 'gods' created anything than flying spaghetti monsters or invisible pink unicorns did.

Henry Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Quote The French Catholic church has expressed “shame” and pleaded for forgiveness, after a devastating report found that at least 330,000 children were victims of sexual abuse by clergy and lay members of church institutions over the past 70 years. The publication of the landmark report on Thursday, France’s first major reckoning with what the Catholic church accepted was “appalling” abuse, has shaken the country with its horrific findings of a “massive phenomenon” of sexual abusers of children operating for decades within the church and its associated institutions. The two-and-a-half-year independent inquiry found that staggering numbers of children were subjected to sexual violence by priests and clergy while the crimes were covered up in a “systemic way” by a deliberate “veil of silence” in the church. The president of the investigative committee, Jean-Marc Sauvé, told a press conference: “Until the early 2000s the Catholic church showed a profound and even cruel indifference towards the victims.” The report found an estimated 216,000 children were victims of sexual violence by French Catholic priests, deacons and other clergy from 1950 to 2020. When lay members of the Church, such as teachers and catechism supervisors, were included, the figure rose to at least 330,000 children sexually abused over 70 years. It said the “vast majority” of victims were boys, who came from a wide variety of social backgrounds and who were attacked at a young age before reaching adolescence. Some sex offenders inside the church were “predators” on a vast scale who targeted extremely high numbers of children over long periods, with some attacking more than 150 victims That's a lot of those pesky gay bairns!
