Why I cannot possibly believe in Good without God

Atheist Who Blamed Faith for Sexual Abuse Forced to Resign for Sexual Messages » First Thoughts | A First Things Blog:

Of course, I could say the same sometimes about *good with God* when it comes to the outdated sacradotal idea of clericalism.

Catholics believe that they can be forgiven by confessing their sins to a priest. They might feel good thinking they are forgiven by a mythical god. But if they need to be forgiven by anyone, it is by those they harm. This misguided belief causes pedophile priests to think they can get away with raping boys. That, plus the Church protects them and moves them instead of reporting them to the police. I really don't care what that professor did, he is still right about what he said.

Yep, you don't care about pedophiles unless they are Catholic priests, we've had that discussion.

I don't care about the professor sending text messages. He can still be right about what he is saying. Everyone should hate pedophile priests. They should be reported, not protected. They should all serve time in prison.

But he is not a pedophile. So your response makes no sense. He texted a grad student. It has nothing to do with pedophilia.

She's younger than him, isn't she?

That doesn't make him a pedophile. Trust me. The pedophile priests are criminals. The professor is just a creep. Big difference.

Have you read the John Jay report? Most of the so-called pedophile priests attacked teenagers. Really isn't pedophilia in the classical sense, but it is in the "statutory rape" sense.

Makes me wonder if we're heading towards May-December romances being utterly politically incorrect.

Father claims 15 year old girl is capable of consent in Lesbian Rape Case

Father claims 15 year old girl from another family is capable of consent : I'm beginning to really like the change in Florida's government.  First they stop handing out welfare checks to junkies.  Now they are treating Lesbians under the same rules as Heterosexuals, gasp, what a concept!  Don't sign this petition unless you are FOR statutory rape of younger girls by predatory lesbians. How many 18 year old boys have been prosecuted for having sex with 16 year old women under "minors can't give consent"?    Special treatment for lesbians?  Please, no.

Call them what you like, Broken Families are still a TRAGEDY!

Yes, liberals value family , but not enough to recognize that a broken family is a tragedy. Divorce is actually worse than death as far as the grieving process goes- especially when there are children, custody battles, parental support, and alimony involved. And homosexuals raising children? That is tragic, not something to be celebrated. Maybe if we'd *recognize* that a broken family is a tragedy we would be more willing to say, pay taxes for WIC so that the single mother working a minimum wage job actually has the ability to choose life. Maybe we'd have more men willing to stick around and help raise the children they cause because the condom broke while they were stupidly using sex only for recreation. Maybe, just maybe, we'd be raising men instead of a generation of cowardly wimps who choose homosexuality and suicide over real life. Suffering and tragedy is valuable- but only if we recognize that it exists.
