You’re so brainwashed you think this is what 100% of religion looks like. I choose to go to my church and I know my church does not support and will not stand for priests committing crimes.
This argument is assuming religion is fundamentally organized about hurting children, which is, of course, ridiculous. This is a textbook strawman argument.
The fallacy doesn’t have to do with whether or not people have a choice in participating, it’s taking the absolute most extreme worst subset of a group and using that to represent the entire group, despite there being a huge variety and that subset really being only representative of a tiny fraction.
That’s why I’m equating it to the idea that all Americans are war mongers. It’s a closely related train of thought to racism and sexism as well.
It's cool man your church is one of the good ones, lol. Don't worry God is gonna forgive all those sins anyway just be you and Hitler and all those baby rapist priests chilling in heaven.
