Guest,

I think, I hope, that Jim is just blowing off some over due steam. He is IMHO for the most part blaming the people responsible, the Nuns Priests, Bishops and Popes who condoned and conducted the wrongdoing. The spillover to other religions and even to me is understandable. His experience and Ebbie's and mine are very different. I haven't seen a dark side of religion that is nearly that dark. I wish I could say more about those topics but I don't have the knowledge or experience. I guess I am grateful that I don't.
