Well, seeing the problems Catholic priests are having not touching little children, I'm going to go ahead and say no, religion is not a very good way to deal with people that do want to do such heinous acts.
Catholic priests aren't all religions.
So you are saying that people of all religions want to molest kids, but are held back from that because their God would disapprove?
Gosh, and here I am not wanting to molest kids all on my own.
But let’s go less icky - most people don’t want to molest kids. So let’s talk about stealing. What is keeping me from stealing from a big corpo like Walmart? Security cameras and laws. What is keeping me from stealing from my neighbors, and even other people at large? I respect other humans enough to not take the things that they have paid for. No security cameras, police aren’t around - I could go take my neighbors nice lawn mower out of his shed tonight and likely never get caught, but I don’t because I don’t want to deprive another human of things they worked hard to acquire.
I guess you’re saying that some people need religion because they have less of a moral compass than I, an atheist, have?
Edit: also, it doesn’t just happen Catholicism, and if you need the proof, I think there’s a community for that.
Edit 2: a downvote but not a rebuttal. 🙄
