Not so fast. The religious continually try to **** up things for the rest of us. Would you seriously want someone who believes in a fairytale afterlife with their finger on the nuclear button? Religion is not harmless.

So in non-religious organisations where there is child sex abuse, are those organisations also bollocks?

I don't know of any organisations that say come to us , we will take care of you , pray with us , God is great , he is all powerful 🙏 but if one of our flock abuses you , we will forget all that move the priest somewhere else and cover up any wrongdoings

I mean it's pretty damning stuff that has gone on in the church

So no

As is always the case rotten establishments are defended to the death

I am close friends with someone who has always gone to church from an early age. She has a filthy mind and sense of humour and is infectious company. You can't stereotype.

There's always one

Mind you look at caligula or the borgias

Spot on.

No it's not

The thread is about child abuse in the church and the fact it's covered up

Someone may get comfort from going to church but if they know the kids in Sunday school are being abused then they are part of the problem

But never mind that , it gives them comfort

Haven't you missed something here, though? Plenty of Christians think that doing good things is what being a Christian is about, yet you turn that into a negative. If doing good things is being Christian, what's wrong with that? Baloo makes an excellent comment that people in religion of course know that non-believers or people from other religions do good things. Being Christian or from any other religion doesn't make you better or worse than anyone else - there's good and bad in all walks of life.

The people who need religion to tell them to do good things could do good things without going to church

You can be a member of the local trainspotting club and raise hundreds of pounds for starving African kids

So I am not missing anything at all

Religion one day hopefully will die out as mankind realises what complete nonsense and hypocrisy it is

As always, some interesting replies and opinions on this topic.
My take on religion is as the thread title says, ‘Bollox’
Humans are always looking for answers from “above” when they have all the answers here in the real life.
This report just goes to show, that there is absolutely no safe haven from the disgusting and deplorable cancer that is Paedeophillia.

We don't have all the answers hence our search of the ether. If you take away all religion the questions of how everything came to be and why will still prevail. It would be interesting to see if we taught everyone that this is all there is and we're all in the same stranded boat and how that would play out. It could get just as messy.

Bingo!
You’ve just hit the nail on the head, as to why religion exists.
To keep the masses passive.
