While i understand your point, i think even remotely comparing pedophilia with homosexuality is irrelevant. Homosexuality refers to two consenting adults, while a child can not give consent. The argument that "homosexuality being legally sanctioned with giving people fully equal rights and allowing gay marriage will lead to further debasing of our social ethics and lead to bestiality and pedophilia also endorsed" is null and void
( ... )
no, of course you weren't talking about homosexuality/pedophiilia like that. i was explaining why generally it's not a good idea to compare the two.
Man Dylan Moran is amazing.
I don't think i'm missing the point, i know how religious institutions treat their followers- poorly is often an understatement. i don't think that's how they SHOULD be, i don't think faith should be about shame or fear or bullshit, but it is.
Do you mean an intrinsic aspect of the religion? Religious heirachies are, as i said, centred around giving power and legitimacy to their own. They're awesome like that! And actually, i consider stifling an individual's identity and traumatising them with the potential of permanent harm VERY hurtful. As in, that may be one of the worst things to do to a person, ever! Wow.. i am so glad i don't give two hoots about practicing religion.
