(346 posts)Where religion is concerned, it is always the "others" who are wrong, who are evil, and who are intolerant.
Tell you what.......you explain to me how rampant child abuse by members of the clergy in the xstian faith is not evil. While you think about that one, try and explain away the church covering it up, denying it, and trying to sweep it under the rug.
If you can stomach that without puking, then read the history books about the xstian crusades. Tell me all about how civilized your religion is.
OK, now that you are invested........here is a quote from the 2nd president of The United States about YOUR religion..........these are John Adams opinions, not mine:
"As I understand the Christian religion, it was, and is, a revelation. But how has it happened that millions of fables, tales, legends, have been blended with both Jewish and Christian revelation that have made them the most bloody religion that ever existed?"
Sure, people inside of a cult do not see the harm that the cult is doing. They do not recognize the bad. For to do so, would mean that they would have to admit to using bad judgement in getting involved.
With any of these cults, it's always just as you say......"Mine is OK, it's everyone else's that is messed up".
