I was routinely beaten and tortured by a Catholic deacon. Before I hit puberty and began, to have the strength to fight back, since the age of 5, he would regularly whip me with the metal end of his belt for hours until I stopped crying, in order to teach me how to be man, since men don't cry. And don't tell me Protestantism is better. King Henry VIII began converting England to Protestantism so that he could divorce and decapitate his wife after the Pope refused to let him do it. All of these historic religious institutions ultimately exist in order to accumulate power and influence.
