Should Priests be required to report child abuse exposed during cofessions?

[Del.]

Don't think that I believe that religion is bad or that everyone who is religious is as fucked up as what I've seen. I know that people hide behind religion to do horrible things. The part that I have a difficult time reconciling, is how would any god allow that to happen?

This is one area that I agree with Jordon Peterson (there aren't many) Most people who lose religion, lose it because it failed them in some way.  That's a paraphrase.

I have no answers for you but I still believe! I don't know why God allows things to happen to good people.

"The part that I have a difficult time reconciling, is how would any god allow that to happen?"

I understand the question. I don't have an answer. I don't think children suffering are any part of God's plan.

My experience has been that God doesn't prevent bad things from happening but he helps me through them when they do happen.

I'm not asking you not to and I've never tried to convince you that your nuts because of your religion?

Incog said that every atheist he's ever met has quote: "Every Atheist I have ever met has a complete aberrance to the Church and Religion in General."

Have you ever seen me do that?

My sister is a Jehovah Witness. I'm not on board with that, but I know that it's done a world of good for her.  I think that religion brings communities together and I think that it's helpful for people who need it to pull through hardships.

My personal experience wasn't good and because (maybe not because but in spite)  of it, I don't believe in a being that is all good and all knowing.

We could probably bleed this in to the "do we have free will" conversation?

And you are the one bringing your personal experience into the discussion.

You were not attacked and you were not insulted for your belief.

You are being very Defensive.

[Incogneeto]

To make you hate people who don't think the same way that you do?

See what I mean?

You've met me (on here). I'm an atheist.  Have you ever seen me do that? So are you sure that it's "every"?

[neurosis]

See what I mean?

No. I don't.

Explain it to me like I'm 5

I can Add you to it.

But you weren't included.

[Incogneeto]

No. I don't.

I think that is a little above your Grade.  

[Incogneeto]

That was an insult.

[neurosis]

That was an insult.

That's nothing new coming from you.

[Del.]

Nuro, I'm fine with you being an atheist!

[Incogneeto]

That's nothing new coming from you.

I thought I should point that out.

Because until that point I didn't insult anyone.

[Incogneeto]

You are being Defensive.
