Not really funny but organized religion is a haven for sexual predators. More of a feature than a flaw.

And the fact that you can look at the boy as either praying, or weeping with his hands over his face…

i thought it was a girl because christians would be mortified that a boy is wearing pink.

So, you’re including Judaism, Islam, Buddism, Shintoism, Zorasteriansim, the Sikhs, Scientology, Vodoo, and countless (about 4,200) other organized religions? Or did you just mean to say Catholicism?
Edit: Hey downvoters remember not to let inconvenient things like facts get in the way of what you feel is true.
If you all feel so strongly about it, I suggest you go visit all the different churches, mosques and temples in your town and save the kids. I’m sure your efforts will be much appreciated.
Here’s a list of world religions. Go through the list and give an example of how each one is guilty: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religions_and_spiritual_traditions

basically those religions where priests are forbidden to have wives.

Yes all of the above. You’re the one naming Catholicism. That should be very telling about your question.

Ever notice how anyone who calls themselves a "freethinker"' is in fact the most dogmatic person in the room?

I'm sure you wish that was the case.
sin-and-love t1_j999r2k wrote
My personal experience has shown it to be the case. It's like how "I'm not like you sheep, I don't trust the mainstream news outlets." is always followed by "But listen to this guy scream about gay frogs."

Public schools are worse.
EDIT: Don't believe me? Just watch.

Aren't there more pedophiles at public schools than churches and not to mention how the anime Indistry Is extremely weird with their girls under 18

Whataboutism isn’t the point I was trying to make. Sorry next time I’ll include a link to a bar graph that includes all offenders of sexual assault. Original point is still valid.

The thing is, any group that provides power is going to attract abusers. The anime industry, public schools, churches, even the medical field all have these issues. The problem is more what you do once you find them and how you prevent them from hurting anyone. If you don’t have those protections in place, if you sweep it under the rug when you find out about these people, that’s when it stops being “bad people are everywhere” and starts being “you’re supporting bad people,” and a lot of churches have been discovered to be sweeping these things under the rug.

I wasn't aware anime was a religion and being taught to kids in their houses of worship.
And do name the public school sex abuse scandal on par with the ones uncovered at churches?
_Administrator_ t1_j98xvxo wrote
There are even religions where such cases happen more frequently but you won’t see anyone making jokes about that religion.

Bro, don't even attempt to question the Reddit hivemind narratives.

A well documented history of systematic abuse of power by the clergy is hardly a “narrative”.
Technicolor_Reindeer t1_j997hjh wrote
Millions of dollars of hush money paid out and countless pedo priest transfesrs is a "narrative" apparently /s

Why do you wokes make everything about sex?
Technicolor_Reindeer t1_j997lkr wrote
You have it backwards, hunny. Its the type of people who say "woke" who are obsessed with sex. Tracking schoolgirls' periods, banning books, obsessing over drag shows, demanding gential inspections of athletes, the list goes on.

See you just did it again. The woodcut is in no way sexualized. If you believe it is then it is you.
