I was reading an article about clergy sexually abusing members (adults and children alike) and the last sentance of the article summerizes the general problem with religion: Quote:One way to prevent such abuse is to stop giving religious leaders so much power over us. We have to stop treating them as if they were God. Here is the article.

This was a very good article - thanks Icy.
I've been trying to read a little Scripture everyday, and one theme (message) that keeps coming through is the importance of seflf-discipline & control. I wonder why it is that the very men who profess a closeness to and mastery of "Holy Writ' have not mastered this very concept themselves?
Could it be that the 'writ' they've been reading, ain't so 'holy?' |
