Just wondering what you all think about the OP question,
agree /disagree?
This question is inspired by another thread; Xianity in the news...

The more important question is why you think there is a connection between gayness and pedophilia. You were asked that in the thread you refer to here, but have yet to answer it.

To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.

I must assume that knowing is better than not knowing, venturing than not venturing; and that magic and illusion, however rich, however alluring, ultimately weaken the human spirit.

In doctrine, it would seem the Catholic church abhors and rejects gay men. If this notion has anything to do with paedophilia as your other comments in the other thread seem to suggest it would appear that the catholic church and even other religious institutions simply protect and welcome paedophiles even going so far as to ensure more children get raped.

Religion feels to me a little like a Nigerian Prince scam. The "offer" is illegitimate, the "request" is unreasonable and the source is dubious, in fact, Nigeria doesn't even have a royal family.
