Subject: RE: BS: Religion=good folk doing bad things?
Some folks think endlessly laying blame on others is a parlor game.

Would you accept that rather than taking part in the parlour game of endlessly trying to ignore or deflecting and excusing the bad things done because of and in the name of organised religions - that there is a point when accepting blame and the responsibilty for the bad things done because of and in the name of organised religions - is an essential part of ensuring that such things are not endlessly repeated because of and in the name of organised religions?

In the issue I detailed of ministers who abuse children in their trust and organised religions whose response is largely to attempt to cover these things up and quietly move the perpetrators on, to enable them to abuse elsewhere - would organised religions finally taking the blame and accepting responsibilty for this be a sensible first step to effecting whatever changes are required to ensure these abuse and cover-ups are a thing of the past?
