Isn't It Stange ... But True?

Unfortunately there will always be scandal in every corner of our lives, be it public or personal. I am not going to reveal my personal beliefs, but after reading the thread from the beginning the subject is always going to be a simmering pot of different views.
My life experience has taught me to live and let live. Accept that people are different. For us who have wives or girlfriends from a generally religious country must accept and respect 'their' beliefs to keep a harmonious and fulfilling relationship.
Fight or make peace with your own demons, who ever they may be, when the bell tolls for the last time.

A continuing scandal is the abuse of innocent children.
They have no chance to live and let live.
They are abused by men who are supposed to protect them - by an organisation that is supposed to be religious.
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.
