The Catholic Church has issued a warning to its clergy in Washington state: Any priest who complies with a new law requiring the reporting of child abuse confessions to authorities will be excommunicated.

I’m not afraid nor am I a member of any church. I am firm in my stance that there is no god. Small or little G. If you read my post again you will see that my point is, even if you are going to go to hell, you are obliged to report abuse. Again, report it. Fucking report it. If the cost is your eternal salvation, you will fucking report it.
They is my point. There is a cost to everything. No matter what you believe, be ready to pay it.
Next time, please read what someone says and not what you want to believe they say. The world would be much better that way.
The rule of shielding child molesters. I read exactly what you said and quoted it. Now I’m going to enjoy my weekend and not give you any more time to defend child molesters, because what the fuck.
Are you serious? I’m not defending them. I’m saying, if you have a religion based on stone-age ideas that are not allowed to change (because it’s a religion and God doesn’t really exist so he can’t talk to you) there is no coherent way you can change the rules. It’s not like a sports group. Only “God” can change the rules. Don’t change the rules. BREAK them. Ignore “God”.
I’m not sure why you are so insistent that I defend child molesters. You accused me of belonging to a church. I get the feeling this might be more true of you. Again, I believe in no god. I belong to no church. I defend no molester (child or otherwise).
I hope you have a nice weekend. I hold no animosity towards you. We are on the same side. We only disagree about semantics and human behaviour. Don’t be angry.
