What I think is without question as to why religion is losing its grip here in America

I do. The God I love and worship doesn’t require a certain percentage of my paycheck. Now with that being said it doesn’t mean I don’t believe in churches and relIgion. The organization I am a part of relies heavily on the volunteers from a local church who show up daily to help. Giving of their time. It is a blessing..
What about the sexual abuse?
Do you conveniently dismiss that because you're a Christian?
Let's cut to the chase, alright?
Why does religion (Christianity) get a pass on grooming and pedophilia?

Do you have any children? I have three. Erik, AJ, and Anna. They are wonderful, beautiful, strong, smart, and ROCK SOLID in their Christian faith. They are all of the best of me and of my wife. They are on fire in their lives - kind, ambitious, driven, and well-adjusted in every way. In short, they are BETTER than I am. Truly, I am blessed - first with my amazing wife and then with these kids.
You ask why they would talk to us about/ ask for guidance about sexuality at a young age. They would/did because I am their father, and my wife is their mother. We have been there for them through all manner of situations - and this particular subject (which the marxist-public-government-worshipping left seems oddly preoccupied to the point of nutcase fettishism) is no different.
Our kids have always approached us about everything. As they should. As I did with my parents. We’re family. I was there to lift each of them to the sky, thanking and praising God when they were born. I’ve been their dad through it all. I’ve been their coach in nearly every sport. I’ve been their navigator, tour guide on vacation, advisor regarding curricula, life choices, all of it.
God blesses parents with children. We parents do our best to be a blessing in return. No “lowest common denominator” argumentation will be entertained here.
So…as usual…I have tolerated your arrogation of my post made. You responded to not a SINGLE point made, and instead demanded that I entertain your non-sequitur. I did so - and I answered you thoroughly. Will write-on reciprocate and respond substantively to MY post that I made? Or…will he continue in his blissful state of self-important, self-indulgent, adolescently entitled spoiled bratism?

WTF I believe in a higher power. That has absolutely nothing to do with sexual abuse. How sad that you feel the need to associate my belief in a higher being with sexual abuse. By the way I have worked with a sexual abuse non profit for years. I am fairly confident I know more about abuse victims than you do. Of course I am open to hearing about your experience dealing with sexual abuse victims.
This is America
Your way of life, btw, is perfect for you, but it does determine what is best for us all.
You've lost the meaning of the words of our Forefathers.
If I was religious, I'd pray for you.

Dude.This is America

1) Proof your posts. I can barely tell what you’re trying to say.
2) I didn’t tell you “what is best” for YOU or OTHERS. What I did say is what we, as parents, require and do.
3) You are not only wholly unresponsive to…now TWO consecutive posts. I asked you a question in the very first sentence. NO answer.
So…this is now two posts in which Rick IS directly responsive to write on…and two posts in which you simply could not be bothered to return the common decency.
Frankly, you are awful. I’d suggest you change and improve your posting habit, but you aren’t capable of self-examination or reciprocal ethic. Sincerely, I wish you well. Have a nice evening.
You don't need to know what I'm saying. It would take a person that isn't obsessed with oneself.
So, a Priest molested youMore f'n obfuscation.
What does Trump's best buddy- after Putin, have to do with it?
Easy to see with your post of Trump and Putin BS off topic bullshit
I post about what you ignore...you, as a Christian.
Are you proud of the pedophilia that has taken over you party?
Too many pastors, preachers, church leaders etc. are preaching their personal politics in the pulpit. That's what is driving people away from churches and religion. They claim it's the living word that drives/keeps people away. That's bullshit. The living word draws people. Politics pushes them away. It's not just churches and religion either. There are all kinds of organizations/institutions that are not supposed to be political that are being destroyed by politics.Christian Nationalism
Did R.E.M. write about it in their song 'Losing My Religion'? I think sane Christians should adopt the song.
Anyway,

It's all about capitalism skirting the lines of greed and morality, don't you know?
Kim? The guy Trump said he was in love with? Non-Trumpians criticized him for his praise of Kim...
Your post of Kim was on topic?
i'm no longer much of a church goes..but in general, at least with the churches i've been familiar or frequent for one reason or another...they dont bill or demand a tithe... one joins as a paritioner and give as one is able if one choses to do so. (ukrainian catholic...prety much roman catholic but in Ukrainian...)
any priest or clergy demanding money from me for something like a funeral mass or similar...up front, would be shown the door if in the moment, or declined politely prior. (have done...)
I went to the Catholic church near my house and as I was leaving I was cornered by the priest asking if I was new to the area, if I planned to attend regularly, did I believe in tithing...
I was also recruited by a babe that I had a crush on to go with her to a friday night party...it was a church event and it was all about getting me to join the Mormon church...talk about bait and switch...
I remember when I went to a church preach and munch event when I was very young. I think it wasn't too long after I got baptized (I won't tell a lie) and this girl I had a crush on wore a long bright red velvet (might have been corduroy) dress.
She was hot!
no offense intended...but that wasnt a church....
hope the babe was fun to hang with at least...
