As a person who holds the innocence of children as a tenet of life, I despair.
Where is the tenet of Christianity?
As long as children are abused by men of the cloth, these things must never be hidden from anyone and the perpetrators brought to book.
It is more than shameful, the church is an abomination.
and the children still cry as well as the adults still trying to erase their horrors.
The bell tolls every day in these houses of abuse, not for the last time either.
So this is your reasoning not for believing in a God.
