I'm not saying church goers or believers are bad, but "the church" and all that phrase encompasses is full of arseholes.

Tbh I don't know..I was brought up to believe in the Catholic church but knew at a very young age it wasn't for me..I'd like to believe there is good there..perhaps not in the heirarchy..but in the majority of priests..but that's just what I would like to believe..not that it's true...i'd like to believe that the majority of people in 'trust' positions are good and mentors and care about what they do and the message they give and that there are only a few 'bad apples'..which you can get in any walk of life.
With the priests I have personally known in my own life...they have all been devoted and good...and in some cases inspirational...so I suppose this affects my opinion
