whoever brought up that phony number should be ashamed of themselves... Priests and ministers help more people than any of you would in your entire lives so choose your battles.
You are joking of course. That or completely ignorant of religious history.

According to the bible God killed or ordered millions to be killed. Go read it more often.

Then there's all the religious wars, supported or even instigated by religion. Then the persecution of millions supported or even instigated by religion. The slavery supported or even instigated by religion.

Religion is a control tool to put a few in charge of the masses.

Compare the abuse numbers to babysitters, you will find more people getting attacked by them than priests. The point SHOULD be that people shouldn't leave their kids alone with strangers, no matter who it is.
Even religious parents who indoctrinate their kids to believing in the goodness of religion?
