As part of bankruptcy proceedings the US Northwest chapter of the Rome based Society of Jesuits has agreed to pay out $ 166.1 million to compensate 500 victims of sexual and psychological abuse by priests in 5 US states lasting for decades. Lot of people feel that this is because of enforced celibacy demanded by the Catholic church of its priests. This stems from the concept of the " Original Sin " wherein Adam and Eve were thrown out of paradise for having sex. What is not explained is why did God create sex organs in the first place and why did he create Eve when Adam was lonely instead of giving him some other source of entertainment such as video games or Facebook. The second problem is the absolute faith demanded by the church. Bishops arm themselves with a shepherd's crook and the worshipers are called a " flock " as in a flock of sheep who are expected to follow without question. Such absolute power leads to abuse as the victims are conditioned to believe that they must suffer in silence. Power is not static. To extend its power base the church resorts to conversion. Did Jesus ever say, " Thou shalt call them heathens and convert them in my name for, verily, I am Jesus the Christ." ? Conversion is thus a form of conquest. That is why there is and has always been so much violence in the world in the name of religion. Hinduism is the only religion which does not convert anybody and so Hindus have never gone out of India to fight with anyone. Instead throughout centuries we have suffered wave upon wave of attacks by other religions who have wanted to send us to paradise by slaughtering us. Conversion and killings are still going on.
