"Churches have an enormous impact on people's attitudes and morality, although it's not totally effective; otherwise, we wouldn't have an AIDS epidemic," he said.


not effective at all....

One of the most irrational of all the conventions of modern society is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected....That they should have this immunity is an outrage. There is nothing in religious ideas, as a class, to lift them above other ideas. On the contrary, they are always dubious and often quite silly.

Thanks for the link....trying to convince a Catholic friend that the Catholic church does, indeed do bad things.
