As I have said before :
” ALLOW ME TO MAKE THIS CLEAR BEFORE IT’S COMPLETELY MISUNDERSTOOD, YES I DO BELIEVE IN GOD AND THE CHRIST. I ALSO BELIEVE SOME OF THE STORIES OF THE BIBLE, MOST OF WHICH RESIDE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. I BELIEVE IN THE SPIRITUALITY OF OURSELVES, OUR WORLD AND OUR UNIVERSE.
WHAT I DO NOT BELIEVE IN , IS RELIGION. I FEEL RELIGION IS THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAVE EVER HAPPENED TO MANKIND. IT LIMITS US, IT LIES AND CONTROLS US. IT DOES NOT GIVE US AN ASCENSION. BUT MERELY, IT ASKS US TO HAVE FAITH IN IT AND ALL OUR PROBLEMS WILL BE FIX, OF COURSE AS IS THE CASE WITH THE CATHOLICS, ( among others ), FOR A PRICE !”
As I have stated before in one of my earlier posts,’ What better way for TPTB to control the world than to control the world’s Religions.’

Courtroom fury as Catholic bishop walks free just hours after child porn sentencing
National Post Staff Jan 4, 2012 – 3:38 PM ET | Last Updated: Jan 4, 2012 4:46 PM ET
PAT McGRATH, THE OTTAWA CITIZEN
( Former Catholic bishop Raymond Lahey leaves the court house Wednesday with lawyer Solomon Friedman.)
Angry scenes erupted inside an Ottawa courthouse Wednesday after a Catholic bishop with an addiction to Internet pornography walked free despite admitting to possessing images of naked boys wearing rosary beads and crucifixes.
Ontario Court Justice Kent Kirkland sentenced Raymond Lahey to 15 months in jail Wednesday, time that he will be credited with already having served, prompting an outburst from one man in the court.
“You’re not a pedophile, you’re a demon, you f–king idiot,” the man yelled at Lahey.
“I’m a survivor, I got to live with it. He’s a f–king demon!” the man shouted, as the judge called for security.
Lahey, who once negotiated a $13-million settlement for victims of child sex abuse by priests as the bishop of Antigonish, N.S., pleaded guilty in May to possession of child pornography for the purpose of importation.
However a leading children’s rights activist said Wednesday that the 15-month sentence did not reflect the seriousness of the crime.
Rosalind Proger of Beyond Borders said Lahey helped fuel a market for child pornography.
“These are real children in these images,” she said from Winnipeg. “They are not drawings. If you look at this sentencing from the perspective of the victims — the children in those images he had — there is a real disconnect between the crime and it ramifications on young lives.
“If the children in those images could have stood in the court room perhaps the sentence would have been tougher.
“No one would be making child pornography if there wasn’t demand and what people like Lahey do is create the demand”, Ms Proger said.
Lahey had been returning from a trip abroad when customs agents checked his laptop computer and found images which included young boys and teens engaged in sex acts including bondage and torture.
Police discovered 588 child pornography images along with 63 videos and several stories with themes of slavery.
The child pornography made up only a small percentage of the approximately 155,000 pictures of pornography he had on the computer.
The 71-year-old voluntarily surrendered himself into custody to begin serving what the law says must be a minimum mandatory sentence of a year in jail.
However, Justice Kirkland ruled at Lahey’s last court appearance before Christmas that the contrite Lahey should be eligible for two-for-one credit for the eight months he already spent behind bars.
With 16 months credit, Lahey’s sentence was complete, Justice Kirkland found. Crown prosecutors had asked for a sentence of 18 to 22 months.
A psychiatrist who examined Lahey testified he was interested in gay sado-masochistic sex and wasn’t a risk to reoffend against a child. Dr. John Bradford added that he was confident Lahey is not a pedophile.
During an earlier court appearance, Lahey told Justice Kirkland he had an “indiscriminate” addiction to online pornography but didn’t seek help because of his high-ranking position in the church.
Lahey said he secretly wanted to be found out, so it was a “blessing in disguise” when customs agents stopped him at the Ottawa airport in September 2009.
A psychiatrist at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa claimed users of child pornography have a “very high recidivism rate”.
“When people use child pornography they are aware that their preferred sexual object is a child and that this is abhorrent to society,” said Dr. David Palframan.
“But despite their knowledge they find it almost impossible to stop. And even though they feel deep shame they continue — and this speaks to the power of this sexual choice.”
Part of the problem, Dr. Palframan added, is that medicine has very little to offer these offenders.
“It’s almost at the cellular lever. It becomes embedded in their personality. They usually never fell into normal sexual behaviour. The can’t graduate to the idea of sex with adults.”

Dutch Catholic Church abused 1000’s of children over the past 65 years by priests and other Roman Catholic religious figures from PressTV
FROM THOSE WONDERFUL FOLKS WHO BROUGHT YOU THE INQUISITION! from What Really Happened.com
Anglican and Catholic clergy were accused of aiding in the killing of Tutsis in Rwanda in 1994. Although the church tried to hush up the scandal, the minister of the church of the Holy Family was exposed in the media in 1996 for having killed Tutsis seeking sanctuary. Two Benedictine nuns fled to a nunnary in Belgium to avoid prosecution.
BUT HERE YOU WILL SEE THAT IT GETS MUCH, MUCH WORSE :
CHILD MOLESTATION SCANDALS
If child molestation is actually your concern, how come we don’t see Bradley tanks knocking down Catholic churches?
~ Bill Hicks, 1993, referencing the Waco siege
I am getting a lot of hate-email from buy-bull bangers complaining about the recent child molestation scandals to hit organized religion. Catholics are accusing me of conspiring with “The Jews” to destroy Christianity while the Rabbis who get caught dipping their wicks in the wrong candles are screaming anti-Semitism. All of this anger is. of course, displaced.
These people within these organizations of their own free will engaged in barbaric behaviors with children, then used the indoctrinated mythology of their organization to try to cover it all up. The scale and the historical duration of the crimes shows that this is not a problem with just a few corrupted individuals but with the entity known as organized religion as a whole. Sexual abuse is endemic throughout Catholicism, Protestantism, Methodism, Mormonism, Judaism, and a whole bunch of other isms. It is not the people; it is the institution of organized religion itself that is condemned by its own actions, whether crime of commission (crime of emission?) or crime of cover-up.
