My mom was a psych RN who worked with abused children. Growing up she used to talk about her intense dislike of organized religions. All of them. I believed her when she said they did harmful things. In my lifetime, I’ve seen too much evidence she was right.

What is gross to me in this article is that the church’s response was to educate parent’s on how to protect their kids. Not a plan for full fledged action to teach and train men not to molest and rape children. “Church treated it like a sin not a crime.”

Organized religion is the bane of human existence. Wars, patriarchy, discrimination, colonization & predatory behaviors are just the most obvious ones.

It can be. Some religious groups are also giving, generous and loving. What makes the difference? I won’t dismiss religions or groups of good heart who do good works. I am, however, very suspicious of defensive, angry, authoritarian groups. Religious or otherwise.

If you’re mad at yourself because you know someone who’s been harmed in a church community, my condolences. If it’s bc you just didn’t know, give yourself a break. You learn better and do better.
