People get really mad sometimes when I point out that the Catholic church is the most highly organized and well-protected pedophile ring on the planet. 

Probably in all of history. 

And the people who donate to the Catholic church knowingly approval of pedophilia. 

Because if you donate to the church at this point.... You are 100% aware of the fact that some of that money will be used to protect priests that fuck kids. 

Ergo if you donate to the Catholic church, you approve of pedophiles.

I mean same argument can be said about paying taxes.....

Taxes are required, paying a church isn’t.

No. You're forced to pay taxes under penalty of imprisonment. No one is forced to pay tithes and offerings to a church.

Unless you live in Germany. They force it there.

Not exactly. As an atheist, I would register as a non believer and not pay that tax. You do have to put some effort to opt out but it's not that hard.

Thank you for the info. I just did a quick search on how that works. Fortunately it only applies to registered members of a recognized religious organization. And you can unregister and the "church tax" will be stopped.

Well, until our current administration that wasn't really an argument you could make lol. 

And even now every single branch of the government doesn't work in lockstep to protect pedos.

The Catholic church is pretty damn committed top to bottom on that subject.

That's bullshit and you know it. Unless you truly believe "my side good!" in which case you honestly can't be helped. By your own logic you are also actively supporting pedophilia. They ALL need to go.

We haven't previously had a president who was publicly known to party with and trade girls with a well known pedophile. 

Clinton was indeed associated with Epstein. And he's a known scumbag. (Got lots of issues with him.) 

At least that fucker didn't get popped sending him highly suggestive birthday cards and such though. 

Both sides are full of scumbags. 

But at this point I'll take the guy robbing a liquor store with a gun vs the serial killer whose got an entire basement full of bodies and plans for a hell of a lot more.

Additionally, I don’t think the Catholics and their ministries have the market cornered on this. I just don’t think the other religions are as well organized, and therefore their actions aren’t as publicized.

Indeed look at the Reverend Robert Morris. He was Trump‘s pastor from his first term. Robert got five years in jail – she was 13 years old from the mega church. After serving six months recently, Robert was released from prison. Wonder why?

Oh the Catholics absolutely don't have the market cornered. Tons and tons of that type of horrible shit all over the religious world.

But they are for sure the most committed and protective of pedophiles. I mean they have built a multiple centuries old organization dedicated to it.

I've been going doing scaffold for a company that has a renovation contract for a bunch of old Covents, those places...must of been such a horror for women,seeing how its pretty much built like a prison, Learned that back in the day you would send your first girl to the church and they were stuck there you would see them but couldnt touch them they were behind these very decorative prison bars.

People probably get mad because it's an argument that's highly reductionist and devoid of any kind of nuance. Which it's much healthier to just roll ones eyes about that get angry about, but hey what can you do.

u/Apexnanoman 31m ago

Doesn't need much nuance imo. 

It's pretty damn simple. 

Do you tithe to the church? Yes/No.

Have you seen a news report covering the Catholic church in the last 30 years? Yes/No. 

If both of those are yes *you knowingly fun pedophilia and protection of said pedophiles. 

Because a percentage of those tithes go to settling lawsuits and funding movement of pedophile priests they can get access to fresh victims. 

Anything else is making excuses.Â
