The Child Is Always The Victim

Countless children suffer at the hands of adults. Many of us have powerful feelings in this regard, especially those of us that were abused as children. We want our children to not go through the same or for that matter anyone else's child. Our minds are blown with disbelief when we hear reports of child abuse. The toughest men will cry. We know that children are trusting and want to think the best of those who should take care of them. They will defend their parent in spite of any and all abuse. They wish their parent no harm and love them. We detest priests who have abused innocent kids. In ALL CASES the child is the victim and not the adult. There are twisted people who attempt to persuade otherwise, but we know better. There is no justification for an adult to harm a child, to put them in harms' way or neglect them.

And yet, and yet, the religious accept a god who does such things. He is the Father and we are His children and yet ...... This is truly shameful.
