I have no idea about the case you are referring to, but this Master, I smelt it from a few hundred posts ago, when I thought he was attempting to "engage me" in a dialogue.

Problem is, I can't stand hypocrites, [particularly in re: religion], and man is he a Master of the art !

I don't care how much they rave and rant how kind, innocent, and "good" religion is for humans, to me the minute anyone starts making a case in favor of embracing religion, in the face of the mountain of evidence against it --Which by the way, more and more cases are becoming known about how truly perverted their people at the top are and the fraud that it has been committed against humanity throughout history, then I cease taking them seriously.

Once again I will repeat myself, I don't doubt that in specific and individual instances there may be lots of good guys within all religions. --But that is different to advocate for religion as a blanket influence on the public.

I consider spiritual beliefs to be an individual personal choice and because of the nature of the theme, they should be kept exactly that, individual and personal.

I see no need for public praying, construction of "houses of god", immense Cathedrals that costs millions in its origin and maintenance, etc. Are all these things necessary to be "at peace" with your own spirituality? I doubt it.

Any other argument in favor to justify the tremendous spending of resources in the respective gigantic infrastructures they posses is ridiculous. Particularly when they claim they say their function is to "take care of those in need" blah, blah, blah, blah...

If that is the objective, what business do you have building the monuments they have and having the tremendous bureaucracy they have? --It is a fraud, period.

Worse, attempting to justify the evil and excesses of the churches, based on the fallacy that religion taught morality to humans is absolute rubbish.

It is very simple to me, you believe in god and all what comes with it.... Fine, keep it to yourself and execute the good deeds you so much clamor about. No business preaching and --killing-- to convince others.

Words are blown by the wind, deeds on the other hand, will count.
