What sort of rebellion against this "unjust and totalitarian authority"... Raping children?

Sounds like you're confusing Satanists with Catholics.

You mean like all Christian denominations but especially the catholic church does, have always done and always will do unless we stop them somehow?

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah... So do school teachers. Christianity isn't about raping children. Neither is education.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

A big part of organized Christianity is covering for and otherwise enabling child rapists, though. Not so for education.

Besides, not that it makes a single rape acceptable, of course, but education has many positive aspects that can't be found outside of education. Christianity doesn't have even one.

Christianity has the positive aspects of saving people's soul. Child rape is not a "big part" of Christianity. It is not proscribed in the Bible nor in any catechism. It literally says that if you harm a child, that it would be better for you to be drowned in the sea than to face the wrath of God.

Fixed it for you.

Child rape is not a "big part" of Christianity.

It might not be in theory but it is in practice. Christian authority figures keep raping children with impunity and their bosses keep sweeping it under the rug.

It is not proscribed in the Bible nor in any catechism. It literally says that if you harm a child, that it would be better for you to be drowned in the sea than to face the wrath of God.

So why aren't you drowning all those child molesting priests in the sea? Don't you believe in what your silly book says you have to do?

It is saying that the pain for them drowning in the sea would be less than the pain that God will subject them to in hell. Not necessarily saying we should drown them. But I have very little objection to giving paedophiles the death penalty 😂

My concerns would be the usual concerns over the death penalty, eg "what if they aren't guilty", etc

I was being facetious. Murder is murder no matter who does it and no matter what heinous deed the murdered person committed or, as you rightly pointed out, is falsely convinced of committing.
