Evil people are evil people, good people are good people. it does not take religion to define that. Indeed religion hides evil deeds as good ones.

If you were better at reading you may have noticed I actually have something good to say for the works of some people. Still, I am filled with contempt for this dodgy effort to sell hot chips, birds in pants, Comic Sans and "yummy corn" as being the sole province of Jesus, the guy who also stands as figurehead for child rapists, thieves and conmen. I will give credit for both the good, like Father Bob McGuire, and for the bad, like the <a href="http://www.jesusallaboutlife.com/dont-donate/" rel="nofollow">fast money men</a> and those who <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20070906065516/www.cpa.org.au/garchve06/1264hillsong.html" rel="nofollow">act sharp in the name of charity</a> to feather their own nests.

(BTW I haven't watched that much porn in my life but on the odd occasions I have, it's never given me the urge to fake cancer!) In my experience, it's exactly those of us that were dedicated to the cause that find ourselves with no choice but to re-examine the existence of a god when his supposed representatives are doing such a piss poor job! @Kim Christian: In my vast church experience it was the weeds and thorns that grew unimpeded while the ponies, stars and sheep looked the other way or offered Christianity 101 excuses for despicable behaviour (eg Michael Gugliemuci faking cancer – “the devil made him do it” – the “devil” in this case being his love for porn).

Not even christians are perfect: and the idea of heaven makes some of them even more imperfect than their fellow beings. (This is a new paragraph: you might get to like them if you try!) So the mix of the overall population excuses the bad eggs in churches? No, that doesn't wash. Either you hold yourselves to a higher standard, or you're just like the rest of us, with two key differences: 1 - Your thieves, bigots, liars and exploiters use the name of some supposedly infallible, loving being as camouflage to get into the confidence of the gullible and those without guile; and 2- When they get caught out, your organisations close ranks to shield the wrongdoers from scrutiny, criticism, or any penalty they might have to render to Caesar's modern equivalent, often to the great detriment of their victims. If your version of Jesus likes thieves, kid fiddlers and so forth in the church, then a church that tolerates its criminals and low-lives you shall be, and I will note you as one consenting to that. Get it through your head that cheques written against the judgement day are a piss-poor excuse for letting another child be hurt, or another gullible person be robbed. As far as the rest of you "vegetables", a little discomfort would probably let you realise that god is remarkably non-interventionist. Your statistical exercise comparing paedophile numbers in and out of the churches? A pointless diversionary tactic. You cannot justify inaction. NB: There will be no debate. You've been allowed your time on the soapbox. Stand up or get back on your knees. Kim – You didn’t lose: I walked.

But you have to look at the big picture and remember that there are good bad in every area of of life and for that matter in every person. Good business sense will tell you that its not about individuals but about the overall achievement of any corporation that counts in other words percentages count, whether it be profits loss attrition etc. Every organisation has its ponies, stars and thorns. there are even weeds in the church but what did Jesus say? leave them there and we'll get rid of them at harvest time, otherwise you'll damage the surounding plant life. Compare the % of paedophiles in the church to those not? i'd like to say more but i'm running out of space, bye!
