Dark sides, such as trading in indulgences, dark sides such as carving up territory between petty rulers, dark sides such as the very issue that’s confronting the RCC right now.

None of which have Scriptural support regardless of what denomination practiced it. That is the dark side of the church involved in it, not the dark side of the teachings of the religion (for lack of a better word). The Bible does not condone acts such as those that are practiced in the name of Christianity like koran condones the evils practiced in the name of islam.

You need to learn the difference between the man made institutions which practice sin like that in the name of Christ and the actual teachings of Biblical Christianity.

There will always be corruption when humans indulge in any activity. Please don’t pretend as if the RCC has never had a tainted history.

I know and I'm not.

Truth is something you are apparently having a hard time discerning since you refuse to differentiate between the acts perpetrated in the name of religion and what the Bible actually teaches.

Okay, if you want to indulge, let’s get back to the old issue that Steelfish and I discussed a couple of weeks ago:

1 Samuel 15: 3.

I don’t see any good in the act that is ordered in this verse. What is your take? (the replies in the other threads weren’t convincing enough, but rather, highly indulgent in excuse-making for mandated ritual child-slaughter).
