If he is genuinely furious over the activities of the organisation in the thread title why is it wrong to launch idiotic attacks at it?

Detailed empirically concise posts may serve his position better but everyone here has farted into a thread dropped a stench of their opinion and farted out again leaving us all debating as to the merits of lighting a match.

If you discovered that someone was a member of some organisation that had gone out of their way to make money out of crime, cover up child abuse facilitated by the traditions of the institution : discouraged poor people from using a proven method for reducing the fatalities of sexually transmitted epidemic and also a proven method of managing family sizes beyond aborting existing fetuses ; while politically lobbying against other groups of people who happen to believe different things (all this after a history of torture, murder and repression) but wasn't the Catholic church, I assume you would make a very detailed account as to why you might think membership of such an organisation might be less than optimal.

I imagine other people would would just ejaculate.

Using the word "Church" or "Religion" seems to be assumed to be a shield against criticism. Shields however often make convenient targets.

I don't even have a clue what you are talking about. It's not the first time.

I'll try again.

If someone you happened across claimed membership of a far Right or Left hate group or a crime syndicate which did work for charity but he only joined for the charity club I imagine you would write a long detailed explanation as to why this wasn't a good idea but some people would just shout about how stupid it was.

Call it a Religion and it a wall goes up. Look at the confidence act that is Scientology. When it was a self help technique people didn't take it too seriously but when people started to notice the intimidation and law breaking it suddenly became a religion and got tax breaks.
