We arent talking about changing building here, it's the source that brought about these institutions that is corrupt and has led them to the path they are currently on. The reason they can continue committing the acts that they do is because they can use the source texts to justify those acts. The institutions are a product of the starting cult that was based around the same text written thousands of years ago yet followed and unchanged to this day. I'll trust religious people to be half decent the day they start to examine/scrutinise and replace these outdated texts with what are clear and unambiguous and won't give rise to criminal organisations - however that physically goes against the notion that these texts are written by the amazing god himself and are the be all and end all of how everyone should conduct their lives till the end of time.
Ultimately in this entire discussion of religion vs science etc, apart from the whole proof/logic stuff that can be said, the one true reflection of which set of people are trying to conduct themselves in good faith is the fact that only one of those two are happily willing to constantly update their current understanding of how to conduct themselves.
I don't agree that it's the source text. If the source text was to be followed the "punishment" would be far more severe than any the current legal systems offer.
I don't even agree that it's the responsibility of religious people, it's a responsibility for all of us, religious or not. The lack of "justice" thatbhas been handed out is a factor for us all.
I wrote earlier how I had a problem with religious institutions and those running them. This is true. It's based on cases like you've mentioned. But ultimately for me it's about moving away from the core texts and the "worship" is for other things. An example for me is the black churches, in recent history. These pillars of the community now rarely get involved in key issues. I'll let you decide how much impact government money and involvement has played.
Out mosques have Maps and councillors on their main committees. Pillars of the Muslim community are drug dealers and alcohol suppliers, as they are able to put money into the grand buildings.
I'm from Pakistan ways so I think you'll understand this (being from India) but how can a prime minister of a so called Islamic Republic not know how to pray? He has to look at the guys around h to see if he is doing the correct motions. Yet people die at election times to get these guys onto power. It goes against all religious core values and texts. Yet there you are. That is why I disagree with you. Albeit i agree people need to stand up to the atrocities committed.
