🤢 FAGGOT-GATE 🤢
So it's ok with you if I shit on Protestants? Just not Catholics? You want preferential treatment for your religion, right? I keep pointing out that you're making my argument for me. And everytime you seem to take it as a challenge to do it again.
I think I understand your issue though. I meant to say "And then you have the entire Catholic Church scandal." Obviously, I don't think everyone in the Catholic Church is a pedophile.
I'm not sure what "middle ground" you want to come to.
I think you're a hypocrite. And I still don't see where you've pointed out what I've lied about.
If you're denying that the Catholic Church hasn't covered up cases of priests sexually abusing kids, then nothing I will say is going to matter.
Take your straw man and shove it up your ass, dude. My patience for that shit is wearing thin, and that isn't the first time you've done it.
I'm frankly not quite sure if I believe you, but if you did indeed intend to put scandal, we disagree on pretty much nothing here and this has been mostly a misunderstanding. My only disagreement was with you claiming that the rate of pedo priests is higher than average, which is in my view the only way to properly understand what you wrote.
If you did mean to put scandal, the door is opened up to the option that you were simply listing all the places the pedo shit happens (i.e. everywhere) and didn't intend to imply any one being worse than the other.
Yes, I really did intend to add the word scandal. I don't know what's so unbelievable about that, given the rest of my comments.
Yes, I think most of this has been based on misunderstanding. I also think you're reading things into comments that just aren't there.
Take a step back, take a deep breath and maybe go read back through the conversation, and this time, don't automatically take everything so personally. And maybe don't expect preferential treatment for your religion.
If you don't have a problem with people shitting on other religions (or denominations within that religion) then don't get all pissy if/when someone shits on yours. (Though I don't believe I've shat on anyone's religion here.)
The only thing I misread was the other guy's comment.
Maybe I read some stuff into your later comments.
I certainly read your first comment properly.
I will not be chastised for your mistake. A mistake which is not that benign, despite being one missing word. What the wording you used insinuates is far different than if you added the extra word.
And the reason I'm kind of suspect at how genuine you are, is because you have straw manned me in almost every reply. For example, I never said I'm ok with you shitting on other people's religions. I certainly wouldn't be ok with you accusing any religion of all being pedophiles. I also never suggested mine get preferential treatment.
And from my perspective reading your comment how you wrote it, and then mulling it over briefly before responding, I appear to have been shat on. Though you didn't mean it, I suppose, so no harm no foul.
Ok. I apologize for not being clear in my comments. I sincerely was not trying to make it seem like the Catholic Church has any noticeably different percentage of pedophiles than any other religion. And the only reason why I didn't lump it in with Christianity is because I've seen too many arguments start here when they are lumped together. I was trying to avoid that from happening, not trying to pick on the Catholic Church.
I'm still interested in what your take on missionaries is, btw.
Forgot to add: and no, I'm not denying that they've been less than truthful with the scandal, unfortunately. They're in a hard place, but lying about it doesn't help.
