How absurd that the church leaders should use Easter as an excuse to attack
a non-belief system.

Seems the church is again stirring their sheep to revolt against a perceived
threat which is just a protection mechanism against their own insecurities.

Maybe they should spend more time investigating priests and their actions
and helping the victims so fewer people become disenchanted with religion
and the church...

They can see their protected little world and their standing in it
crumbling fast and so they think the best part of defense is mindless
attack of the most hypoctical nature.

Certainly, if I were a Christian (I'm an atheist) and went to church on
Good Friday, I'd be a bit miffed if the service consisted of a tirade
against atheists, rather than concentrating on elements of my faith on
an important day in the Christian calendar.

Yes, they keep forgetting how many little boys their church members
have fucked lately.

How many little boys have been fucked by people who aren't
church members? How many are fucked by school-teachers?
random strangers on the street? their own relatives?

The vast majority of church goers and the vast majority of
priests are NOT pedophiles, just as the vast majority of the
non-church-going population aren't either. But of course
the media has a field day when it's a catholic priest, when
it's anyone else you barely hear about it.
