Dozens of stray dogs already have a home thanks to the priest.

Just when I thought there were no redeeming qualities of the church.

I mean, I still don't, but it's nice to see a story like this instead of the endless stream of pedophile, predator, and conman stories about the church.

'The church' isn't the monolith most atheist lemmings think it is. There are more than a dozen denominations and a whole spectrum of political leanings within each one.

I'm not religious, just tired of blanket statements like this that make it hard for us to be taken seriously. Theists are humans and humans come in all sorts of fucked up. Religion just brings out the worst in them. That doesn't strip it's significance to believers. For many, it's what keeps them going in hard times.

Unitarian universalists are a good example of how being religious doesn't mean you need to be a nut job, a predator, or passively support one. If you're goal is to deradicalize, you are much more likely to convince a religious person to be more tolerant than to throw away religion altogether.

Christians aren't necessarily bad people. When they do good it's just in the name of yahweh when it should be in the name of life.

Now this is a Christianity I can get behind.

Are these stray dogs that live on the streets or dogs abandoned by prior owners¿?
