I am not saying they should not exist, I am saying their leaders should respond for tax evasion, extorsion and whatever it is that they do financially, and perhaps they shouldn't be allowed to get billboards, tv channels and newspapers. Blantantly or not, a lot of media is entangled with this and belongs to them.
Their rising today represents more of a social virus than the Catholic church. A lot of our achievements in civil rights, against homophobia, bigotry, racism and sexism are being fought against by this new rising bigot youth, I find that really worrying.
Organised religion, as any powerful institution, is a a perfect environment for corrupt, sociopathic and greedy human beings, one must keep that in mind, they'll be everywhere. It's not religion itself that sucks, it's the fact that humans use it for their own agenda.

For some one who is not a christian and does not believe in god you sure are interested in this thread.
If more little girls stayed "virgins" maybe they would'nt "need" abortions (which I am not opposed to in the proper circumstances)
Seems to me that you use your personal beliefs to fullfill your own agenda so how does that differ from religious groups?
You talk about equality in one post and the next speak of how the "Evangelists" should not be "allowed" to participate in the media.
You act like christian kids are the hitler youth or something.
So young and full of angst don't worry sweety you'll grow up and find someone else to hate besides god.
