Protestant churches have a severe problem, Catholic churches have a severe problem... that just about covers them all doesn't it... Christianity as a whole has a very big problem with paedophilia, it's seeped into every single level of it's ranks.

It's all good and well to claim these guys were not professionals... funny how when an astray Muslim or two (who've probably barely practised any of Islam in their lives) rape someone, all of a sudden it's a direct reflection on Islam, yet if a priest or even 'lay-ministers' like these guys do it, then it's nothing to do with the religion. It's this hypocrisy which I find the most sickening from the attitudes here.

Listen Ephestion, I know that true Christianity does not condone any of this kind of crap, but more and more today Christians are distorting and corrupting their own doctrines to "fit in" with the modern world, and I think a lot of it is related to this kind of stuff. When you are having gay marriages and even gay priests and you permit adultery and fornication and lewd dress and all this kind of stuff, you gotta accept responsibility for all the other wickedness that comes with it.

Which Orthodox? Greek? Russian? Coptic? Ethiopic? Assyrian? Armenian? Georgian?? Although they all claim to be orthodox, and they do have a lot of similarities, they also all have their differences...

The Alawi are a cult outside the fold of Islam, but they are a tiny little minority. The Catholics are the mainstream of Christianity, Protestants come in second, and Orthodox are third.

It's rife in Western cultures, since they are the main Christian cultures. It seems quite clearly to be endemic amongst the Christian churches, this just can't be denied. Surely the Catholic celibacy probably has something to do with its origins, and the Orthodox notably reject that.

And the Greek Orthodox is certainly not exempt from these scandals. The Dallas Greek Orthodox Church had a huge paedophilia scandal that was uncovered to have been going on for decades. And there's been others. Admittedly not as many as the Catholics.

I investigated all the major branches of Christianity and Judaism before I embraced Islam. And I am quite obviously now a Muslim...

Actually some of the main reasons for which the great schism occurred such as the noble rejection by the Orthodox of icons were later reversed anyway and they ended up accepting such polytheistic nonsense.

All the Christian churches have changed from the original and pure pristine monotheistic message of the Messiah (pbuh). The Arians were the last vestige of monotheistic Christianity and they were completely eradicated by Catholics and Orthodox alike, because of their sheer refusal to recognise the preposterous idea of a man as god. The last Arians, who remained in the Iberian peninsula, mostly embraced Islam when it arrived there, and they recognised it's pure monotheistic teachings as those of the truth.
