God is a human observation, not a construct. As for proof, shrug. Proof is for the physical realm, it requires being able to measure something. God is immeasurable. People of faith believe our make-up includes spirit--that the physical world is only a part of all that is. So, human observations that go beyond that which is physical and into a realm of that which is spirit.Who do you think came up with "god"? Humans. So yes, god is a human construct. With ZERO proof.
Humans haven't "observed' anything having to do with the spirit, which is still a theoretical entity.God is a human observation, not a construct. As for proof, shrug.

People are people no matter what their profession.If the churches that allowed their clergy to have sex were free of sexual abuse, you might have a point. They aren't. You don't.
Experiences are observable; just not measurable.Humans haven't "observed' anything having to do with the spirit, which is still a theoretical entity.
It's all in your mind.Experiences are observable; just not measurable.
Religion should be above that. Since clergy are ordained.People are people no matter what their profession.
There will be pedophiles and molesters everywhere there are people.
And many thousands of children have related their sexual experiences with clergy, that were purposely unobservable.Experiences are observable; just not measurable.
Religion was created by people so it is not above that.Religion should be above that. Since clergy are ordained.
You can't just say it happens everywhere so it's expected in the Church as well. Otherwise, it's not ordained by God. And if so, it's a false religion. Or a religion with a God who likes to suck young cock.
You tell me, how you roll...
You are not paying attention. I've already detailed what we have done to prevent this from happening. Further, I have been the voice telling where it has happened--and is still happening--more often. Not going around the circle with you again. I have asked if you want to discuss what deeper problems you have with the Catholic faith.Just admit that it is wrong to sexually abuse kids in the care of the clergy, and do something to fix it!!!
Don't deny that it is a problem.
Stats show more married men engage in pedophilia than unmarried men, so whatever the answer is, it is not your solution.My solution to fixing it on a large scale, is to allow them to marry.
I agree. But they don't.Religion was created by people so it is not above that.
I'm sorry, but you're not paying attention Meriweather. You have not detailed anything being done by the Vatican, and you continue to use status quo among regular peeps, as a justification why the clergy should be forgiven, when they should be held to a higher standard.Stats show more married men engage in pedophilia than unmarried men, so whatever the answer is, it is not your solution.
Do your own research. There is plenty from which to choose. I have already noted what we at the parish level did decades ago. Keep up with the times. By the way, I am done here. I do hope at some time you are able to work through your issues. It may take that before you are ready to acknowledge what the Church has done and is still doing about cleaning her own house. May God bless.What has the Vatican been doing to stop this?
