No, it’s people. It’s always people. That even the church carries out such atrocities says more about humanity than it does about the church.

- baobabKoodaa 5y ago"Even a church"? Like a church would be less likely to carry out these atrocities than other institutions? The opposite is almost certainly true.
- twodave 5y agoThe “church” in my comment is referring to people. Institutions don’t commit atrocities. People do. I was trying to illustrate (perhaps poorly) that even in our most sincere attempts to be good, we fail at it regularly. But how we love to point out and condemn darkness in others.
