Cruxes That Hurt

Speaking of religion, while raised Catholic, I always maintain respect for the power of belief. I am greatly saddened by the Church's involvement in abuse. All societies on this planet are guilty of the exploitation and abuse of women and children. Abuse knows no borders. Many countries do not take this issue seriously. Presently there is a strong contrast in ideology and law. Comes down to it, all religions are cults, rules by people, for their agenda..... Praise The Lord.....Amen and Women. Gregory Askew The challenge is to name a religious community that hasn’t dealt with manipulation and abuse. I wager not a one. Faith is perhaps best practiced alone and on one’s own terms because once a group dynamic takes hold that’s when the hurt happens.
