good story, thanks for sharing it… there are definitely true stories that make religion a positive force in the world
unfortunately those are harder and harder to find
Only because the bad ones get more attention. Kinda like HOAs.
hmmmm there are plenty of seriously bad ones (all the child rape) and proof that their institutions rather protect itself than the kids... you'd need to be saving lives with miracles on the daily to compensate for that one and that is only ONE category of horrible stuff organized religion has pulled
Just because there are plenty of seriously bad ones doesn't mean that all of them are bad, or even that the majority are.
It also doesn't mean that the churches who aren't bad are responsible for compensating for the ones who are bad.
sure but in the same way I would not encourage a 15 year old girl to hitchhike, I would not trust any underage kid with any church... even though hitchhiking is, statistically speaking, safer
