So is arguing that because an organization has corruption and bad things happen in it that the whole thing is worth throwing away. If that was the case you would have to consider all governments, organizations, systems and businesses that are inherently faulty are worth the same dismantling.

It’s almost as if all things made by human hands are faulty and can’t be repaired or something.

Wow, what a fucking disingenuous argument. How disgusting do you have to be to wave away systemic child rape with "some corruption and bad things happen"?

How about you examine why you think that dismantling an organisation that shields these people is a controversial idea? I don't care if it's a government, company, charity, any fucking place that is found to systemically protect child rapists needs to go, period. If you're not comfortable with that idea, you should probably be asking yourself some questions.

No op but yep religions, governments, most companies and organizations.. and any other entity that only exist for the purpose of controlling, robbing and oppressing people should be dismantled.

And if you argue that they have been or can be repurposed to not do that and to help people you're just too naive, after thousands of years of existence the only things they do is exactly those.

Not all things, just organized religions. There's a fine difference between "an organization has corruption and bad things happen" and "an organization has no point to exist other than to protect corruption and bad things within itself". At least government gives me something when I pay taxes to it
