Re: [asa] Dawkins, religion, and children

But you Pim did not include the entire context of that quote from Dawkins.
The context of the quote from the woman that was horrified by the Catholic
idea of hell, also includes this quote from Dawkins:

"The Catholic Church also has an extraordinarily retrogressive stance on
everything to do with reproduction. Any sort of new technology which makes
life easier for women without causing any suffering is likely to be opposed
by the Catholic Church. Regarding the accusations of sexual abuse of
children by Catholic priests, deplorable and disgusting as those abuses are,
they are not so harmful to the children as the grievous mental harm in
bringing up the child Catholic in the first place. "
