The recidivism rate is just as high in this group, but the participation rate is much higher than in the Catholic church. Yet, it rarely makes the news because it is not politically expedient to destroy the character of a non-religion. Funny that.

The Catholics denounce the use of condoms, but advocate for abstinence. In our culture - the secular culture - abstinence is not a realistic pursuit. But it is the best solution. Monogamy is also a best solution, but, again, the secular culture makes that impractical. The failures aren't in the faith - the culture has failed. Abstinence until marriage, and monogamy are unquestionably the best solutions to the spread of disease, and for fatherless children. But, let's not talk about that because it's easier to blame a group of religious zealots than it is to take responsibility for the culture we created or, at least, allowed to be created.

I'm a Christian. I think critically. I am quite logical. I'm the CTO of a fortune 1000 company. I didn't sacrifice my logic, or ability to think critically at the altar of the "Label Christians as Freaks" movement.

It's a cop-out to label what you don't understand as "void of logic, and critical thinking." Since not all of us - in fact, very few of us - adopt the extreme positions of rigid creationists.



Meh. People like to say things they believe to be clever. Doesn't make them an authority. Lots of people still quote Hitler, and Mao, and Stalin... They said many clever things just like Weinberg just before they slaughtered millions.

So. Meh.

Abstinence is unrealistic but the best solution? Should I really be expected to take this seriously?

The failures are in the faith. The faith that allows the child abusing priest to say "Talk about what I do to you and you will burn in Hell".

The faith that says "demon possessed" children need "special" treatment that's very far from proven and can be incredibly damaging to the child.

The faith that prevents abortions that effect the health of the mother.

These are just a few examples and I really don't see how you've demonstrated this to be different from the faith. They need faith in order for all these things to continue. Take away the religion and all these unproven silly ideas fall down.

It's perfectly possible to be religious and segregate the crazy beliefs from the rational ones. Some scientists are religious also. Compartmentalization can happen and nobody is perfect.

If what was said was clever then refute that. Simply dismissing based on a surface notion of equating them to other people who you think has said something clever who've gone on to commit atrocities doesn't refute what was said.

Are you sure you've got your critical thinking hat on?

Now go eat your Arby's and drink up that Natty Light, it's getting warm you white trash savage fuck.

LOL, I love when lame fucks like you pop-up every now again. Why don't you do us all a favor, hang yourself and film it, and have someone post it here. As you seem be a good candidate for suicide..
