I don't expect anyone to agree with me either. And you have the right to voice your opinion. All I see is a world full of people who are treated like garbage because of other people's selfishness. And apparently, given all the scandals popping up recently, the church is no different.
Why have laws in place against theft if people are going to steal anyway? Why have any laws of any kind? Why should we have the 10 commandments when that was from the Old Testament and no longer applies to us (or does it?)?
Even if sin is inevitable, I have seen time and again what happens when people don't want rule and law. In late 18 century France, the common people wanted no government of any kind anymore, and what did that result in? An absolute bloodbath full of bloodthirsty people with nothing to hold them back.
The Wild West was called that for a reason. Cowboys were rough, corruption was common, not to mention Natives would kill you if you stepped on their land. Tell me, is that a place you would like to live?
Anarchy after the abdication of the tsar in WWI led to the rise of the power-hungry mass murderer Stalin. It's interesting that people tend to focus more on Hitler since his mass murder was mostly racism. But Stalin killed as many people if not more. He ruled with an iron fist. And that was because he took advantage of the chaotic state of Russia.
Without law and order, we have unbridled anarchy and chaos and open the doors for dictators. Is that what you want?
