no they dont teach that, they teach that god is the ultimate shepard of the weak and the protector of the innocent etc etc and then they have pretty high ranking members completely robbing children...the most innocent of us all, of their lives basically, OR are implicitly involved in covering up/protecting those scum that do
I guess I just find it ironic that priests/bishops etc are suppose holier than thou, churches are suppost to be the holiest of "Sanctuaries" yet God must be allowing children to be done the way they have been for a long time thruout their illustrious history if he is the all powerful all protecting being they parade him to be and still permitting this to go on in HIS name.. its a load of crap
so yeah...in their distorted books maybe they dont explicitly teach pedophilia but at some of the highest levels of their organization there is involvement and has been for a long time, not to mention the whole list of other atrocities commited by christianity since its inception
I hold no candle for Christianity. Or any other faith for that matter. I never met a God worth praying too; you might as well worship the Force, for all the good it will do you. And yes, in the two thousand years of it's history, the Catholic Church has committed atrocities that were unsurpassed until modern technology allowed monsters like Stalin and Hilter to commit murder on an industrial scale. There is also the long running scandal of child abuse within the Catholic Church, and repeated attempts to cover up and repress the truth about it.
However, to compare Islam and Christianity in their present day forms is ridiculous. With the exception of backwaters like some of the Balkan states or Northern Ireland, people no longer slaughter each other in the name of Christ. And to put things into perspective, the "Troubles" in Northern Ireland between Catholic Republicans and Protestant Unionists claimed the lives of around 3,000 people over a thirty year period.
Musilm extremists killed almost the same amount
on a single day.
No mainstream Christian church teaches that it's OK to kill your own daughter if they "dishonour" you. Or that a woman who has been raped should be stoned to death for adultery - unless, of course, she can provide the three male witnesses required to prove she is telling the truth. Christianity doesn't force women to cover themselves from head to toe, even in the boiling heat of a Middle Eastern summer. Or allows a man to shoot a girl in the head with an AK47 because she "sinned" by attending a high school.
Islam is responsible for all that.
My namesakes were vicious bastards, as fanatical as any member of ISIS(and a damn sight tougher
). But there are not thousands of Catholic soldiers raping, pillaging and burning their way across the Middle East any more. Catholics aren't beheading children, or gang raping girls barely into their teenage years, or making snuff movies while torturing prisoners to death. Or carrying out suicide attacks in Paris and London. Or blowing Russian airliners out of the sky.
The IRA used car bombs. ISIS would use nuclear, biological or chemical weapons if they could get their hands on them.
Christianity and Islam both began as violent, imperialistic, racist, misogynistic religions. The difference is that Christianity grew up and, for the most part, at least tries to exist as part of the modern world. Islam is stuck in the mindset of it's creators; might makes right, women are no better than animals and the only good kuffar is a dead one.
Trying to somehow mitigate the sheer vileness and sadism that runs through Islam by comparing it to Christianity's chequered past is like neo-Nazi saying,
"Well, yeah, the Holocaust was bad - but the Americans killed lots of Indians and kept Blacks as slaves! They can't judge us!"
