If you choose to ignore the damage caused to my family, friends and all the other millions of people throughout histroy who have suffered at their hands, then indeed, by your own admission, your world view is very skewed.
The church may have a million members, the vast majority of which reside in Latin America, where illiteracy is still sadly evident, the culture is poor and manipulation is quite simple due to the ignorance. The best hope of doing this is by conditioning children during their formative years. It's despicable. Before you claim superiority, be aware that I have many relatives throughout Latin America, catholic school matriculation is on the decline and churches are selling off their property due to diminishing congregations. The PR department of the RC church is doing all they can to spin this into their needs. It would make perfect sense that they would try and do that. The RC church is in decline.
If you want historical facts, the list is endless. You can start with Torquemada and go on from there. I speak from actual experience. Combine that with documented proof of lies, deceit and abuse and the truth will always win out.
It seems to me that your world is full of comic book villains. As much as you wish, those capes that they wear cannot make them fly.
What say you of a catholic clergyman who takes a vow of kindness, goodness and protection of the weak and defenceless and then abuses that confidence by raping a trusting and admiring child? What's worse than that? The organization that should hold him accountable instead protects him along with all the other criminals who did the same thing.
There are no words for that level of reprehension.
How do you spin that into redemption? What sort of damaged mind would try to do so!?
BTW, your statement about social engineers and eugenicists states that your mind is not on a level with reality.
There will be no more comments from me to you. You are in need of psychological assistance.
Cars have caused plenty of damage to millions of people, but we keep them. But I sure as shit am not stupid enough to build my worldview around alleged events that happened to relatives of a anonymous internet poster.
By the way...it is
BILLION not million (I am hoping the bold will help you read it). Here is a news flash for you...just because people come from a different culture from you does not mean they are stupid or inferior. You must have a pretty big ego to insult a billion or so people, and you are, as always, wrong about where the vast majority come from.
Torquemada is a fascinating example. He might have been responsible for the death of 1,000 people, and interestingly it was the Pope who restrained him because the secular spanish crown was getting carried away. That is less than the number of Catholic priests murdered in the Spanish civil war. I don't see your panties in a knot about those murders. Of course those murders were only 70 years ago, while you are obviously upset about acts that took place 500 years ago. That is healthy. Are you still pissed off about Caesar's invasion of your homeland or Napleon's?
Child abuse is always a terrible crime and the people who committ it should be punished. But the rate of child abuse in the RCC is less than that in public schools. Are you a hater of public schools as well?
I actually am very well versed in both sides of the church, not just an angry biased man who hates the church and is both arrogant and ignorant about it. As usual you spew a bunch of vague allegations but won't even mention how the church came to lead the opposition to Franco in Spain and advocated the separation of church and state.
You simply ignore the fact that this church is the largest charitable organization in the world, and feeds, educates and provides medical care to millions. You can ignore it, but it is real.
While you are quick to judge others, you really should consider some reality therapy yourself. Perhaps start by learning the history of your own country in the last century.
