Once again the Church has failed! The flood of sexual and perverse bullying cases continues and the same old story emerges. The victims are ignored, the abuse is covered up and the perpetrators allowed to continue abusing.
It’s not just the church but religion seems to attract more than its fair share of abusers.
They are real people. They all had real reasons for having to risk their lives. They are not just ‘Refugees’. Who knows what terrors they were fleeing. They have families, friends ….. and they had a life with dreams.
I’m an atheist and I feel for them. It seems that many ‘religious’ people really don’t take on the message of their own religion.
Pics of 17 of the refugees drowned in the Med a few weeks ago. I think they deserve to be recognised and remembered as people rather than bedraggled bodies wrapped in rags washed up on a beach. Do pass it on.
I don’t even know what their names were. I’d list them if I could.
