Another priest molestation scandal? With multiple innocent victims? Perhaps we must concede that there is a connection between an unnatural state of sexual repression and the volatility of its manifestations later in life, hmm.


Alas, Cardinal Sean Brady will not lose his position in the church hierarchy for turning a blind eye to a string of abuse since 1975. To top it off, he probably would be if he began to overtly support something like gay marriage. What a sickening institution.

This could not be more true. As religion tries to suppress the natural state of human sexuality, we will find more and more people will turn to more harmful outlets of these natural impulses.

This is why religion, especially organised religion, should be disregarded in mainstream society.

lol you're a fuckin idiot
You make a claim like that without any refutation of my argument or any counter argument whatsoever...and I'm the idiot?

I think you may want to rethink your post. Or add a counter-argument.

lmfao @ posters 1 and 2 holier than thou attitude
Don't be so "holier-than-thou"

Seriously though, such an attitude is justified when an organisation of people who believe in a fairytale described in an ancient text decide to follow this text to the letter and follow the commandments of a fictional jerkass God, who's aim is to repress human sexuality, and then rape kids and cover it up to save their skins. Not only is it hypocritical, but they're fucking raping kids. Yes, I am indeed holier-than-thou towards them, because I fucking am.

If someone wants to give me evidence that no priest have ever molested children, then I will take back what I said.

Idk I think the frequency priests are reported to be doing it indicates a possible correlation between their religious choices and pervertedness.
Doesnt mean they're all bad etc.

How does catholicism (assuming this is a catholic priest) repress human sexuality?

and im laughing so hard at you thinking (assuming once again this is a christian priest) that christians think its ok to rape kids. its not ok to rape kids regardless of religion you moron.
The priesthood represses it by maintaining that they stay celibate (is most probably the argument). That said plenty of people are capable of living celibate lives without molesting anyone so idk, maybe that doesnt carry much weight at all.

He's not suggesting any religious group think it's okay to rape kids, the priests who do so are fucked in the head, however they (might) justify it to themselves though.

Sure i could give you examples of priest molesting children, but i could also give you heaps of examples of PEOPLE OF ANY FAITH INCLUDING ATHIESTS AND AGNOSTIC PEOPLE.
Very true.

^ "who's aim is to repress human sexuality, and then rape kids" was the example of him thinking its alright.

realistically the only argument for repressing their sexuallity is the staying celibate part, but you have to remember that is something that the priests want to do. they arnt forced to be priests and i find it funny when people criticise them when its what they want to do in life.

Im glad someone else on here thinks like a normal person, it wouldnt suprise me if annihilist is the kind of person who think all muslims are terrorists ect.
They're not!!?!?!?!?

jk

oh "aim", guess I missed that.
But yeh I agree, criticism isnt really valid of their life choice, until that life choice results in/becomes hurting kids/anyone.

It is hardly the catholic church's fault. Yes it shouldn't have happened although we are talking a long time ago now.

lol at you negging me. you truly think your better than other people and your not. I was stating what your attidute comes across as to other people without stating my opinion on the subject. My sentence wasnt an example of a holier than thou attitude.


you are truly kidding yourself to think that in some way your opinion on what they believe in is better than someone elses.

brb i dont think im better than anyone else but i insult others for their beliefs.

and im laughing so hard at you thinking (assuming once again this is a christian priest) that christians think its ok to rape kids. its not ok to rape kids regardless of religion you moron.

FUCKING HELL just read your last line again seriously get off your high horse.

Sure i could give you examples of priest molesting children, but i could also give you heaps of examples of PEOPLE OF ANY FAITH INCLUDING ATHIESTS AND AGNOSTIC PEOPLE.

your a joke.

What the fuck? Firstly, "negged for life"? Not only is it bigotry but it's immature. I'm not going to neg you anymore because I don't want to feed you.

Do I act like I am better than other people? Yes, I do believe I am better than child molesters. I believe that raping kids is absolutely disgusting, and that belief is better than the opposite. You cannot dispute that. As for the statement about religion, I believe religion is stupid because it is obviously false. That's my belief. The Bible is quite obviously fictitious, you don't need to be a religious scholar to see that. It's not an encyclopaedia. But I digress.

"How does catholicism repress human sexuality?" Wow, really? If you even have to ask that question you are not qualified to be in this debate. Let's list some morals the Bible and Catholicism preaches on this regard:

- Sex before marriage is a sin
- Masturbation is a sin
- Priests may not marry and must remain celibate for their whole life
- Sex must only be for procreation (so either you have sex rarely or you have 20 fucking kids).

And remember, that if you sin you go to hell. Eternal burning damnation. So for the naive believers, this is pretty effective coercion into (mostly) celibacy.

I didn't say that religions think it's okay to rape kids. But...they fucking do it anyway. Go figure. What I said was that organised religion repressing human sexuality leads to many people, especially priests, having no sexual outlet and they may resort to drastic measures to get their orgasm. Sex is healthy and needs to be embraced, and sexual repression is dangerous.

My last line was a disclaimer, saying that if there is compelling evidence for the innocence of these priests, then I will acknowledge that my statements are invalid.

Yes, anyone can molest children, not just priests. I accept that. What's the problem.

You are right about the priests choosing this lifestyle, but do remember that many people choose the religious faith and still struggle with the sexual repression, especially orthodox believers. Through fear of hell and God they celibate themselves regardless of their better judgement. One may argue that individuals, and not the organisation, are responsible for this stupidity, but nonetheless, this is but one case against organised religion.

I have no idea where you got that from. I don't think all muslims are terrorists; I don't think all catholics are child molesters. I do think anyone who believes in religion is stupid. You can debate me on that if you like, but not here. We would be derailing the thread.

I've known about Richard Dawkins for a long time. I never liked him though for a long time. My parents are atheists.

I find it insulting that you are implying my beliefs are naive and recycled from other people's views, such as Dawkins. Edgy atheist? If you say so. I am an atheist. I don't know why "edgy" is relevant. I am adamant in my opposition to religion. I don't know why that makes me edgy.

I don't understand your need to antagonise me because I have strong views. I don't appreciate your condescension.

Yes by all means, let's condemn the whole institution of religion based on the actions of a minority.

There are sexual offenders in every walk of life, the majority I'm sure are not sexually repressed yet commit the same crimes. So your connection is bullshit ay.
How can you even consider sexual offenders using the same "natural rules" for sexuality, when what they are is so obviously unnatural?
