What is it with Christians and pedophilia?

[-] MJKee9@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

As someone who grew up in a fundamentalist Christian household, and have been around a lot of "Christians," i think many of them become so fiercely religious because they think it will help them overcome "sinful" tendencies. For example, my father liked to drink and fight in his twenties. Around the time I was born he became fiercely religious. I've always assumed that was because he wanted to clean up his life to be a better dad. He stopped drinking but he found plenty of people to fight in his own house ....

Being Conservative and being Christian aren't compatible ideologies. You can follow the teachings of Jesus or be conservative, you can't do both.

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

This assumes that Christian means "follow the teachings of Jesus Christ". Unfortunately Christianity has never meant that. Even less in the US since Billy Graham.

[-] David_Eight@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I have no idea what you're talking about, it's always meant that. Anyone who doesn't follow the teachings of Jesus but calls themselves Christian is just lying.

[-] Zink@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago

I’m not sure they’re lying as long as they actually think they are christians but are just wrong about it in your eyes.

There are definitely millions of people who “follow” the teachings (they listen when somebody feeds them a tracking) even though they don’t implement them in real life.

Hey look, another not a drag queen.

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 48 points 3 days ago

Another drag quee— wait, no? Still not? Huh. Imagine that.

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 58 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

So this guy faced 8 counts, with a maximum sentence of 10 years each. He pled guilty to 2 counts in exchange for getting the other six dropped. he's gonna go for some psych evaluation, maybe spend some time in jail, maybe not. He left his cushy gig, but I'm sure in a few months he will go on a public speaking tour about how repentant he is, the board will talk about how God always gives second chances, and he'll get back pretty much everything.

Meanwhile, there are immigrants who are being tossed out of the country by this administration for much more minor offenses committed 10 or 20 years ago (which they already paid the price for). They have been following all the rules since then, and now we decide we don't want them here anymore, and they lose everything they built here.

I think our values are all out of whack here.

When's the last time a Drag Queen hurt anybody? I don't remember any incidents.

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 25 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

2008, Hess Village, a drag queen told me "you know clothes come in colours now, right?" It wasn't even part of a set — I was just walking on the sidewalk.

June 28, 1969 Marsha and a few friends really hurt the fee fees of some fascist losers by having the audacity to stand up for themselves.

Thats the only thing I can come up with.

Rest in power Marsha.

I believe in democracy. We should have Drag Presidents or Drag Prime Ministers instead IMO.

Conservative Christianity is the most glaring sign that someone is likely a pedophile. I'm not surprised in the slightest.

[-] rozodru@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

surprise, surprise

at this point I'm just waiting for that Australian org that's currently making a stink about porn games to be revealed to be run by a bunch of pedos.

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I’ve looked at porn before and I have uh, wandered across some crazy stuff where I’m like okay, I did not want to see this… I always wonder if these folks are being accused of finding that stuff, but if they are saving it on their computer it seems weird… I don’t really save porn on my computer anyways… unless I find something super classy or sexy maybe, but even then most likely not, and if it’s that classy it’s probably not even technically ‘porn’….. anyways, Just thinking out loud I guess….quietly

Part of me wishes there was a legitimate way to report questionable porn that didn’t involve morality police who think all porn is inherently bad….. (edit: no part of me wants that job lol, just to be clear, oh god those poor workers who have to do that shit)

But also, why does it always seem to be these guys who are extremely vocal about being anti porn and super puritanical… Jesus h Christ… literally…

Makes me wonder about the current speaker of the house…

There is so much variety in pornography available in the world today, why of all things would you delve in to that genre as a conservative Christian. Why are they never like, tree fucking priests? It's always the kids!

https://julieroys.com/former-ceo-my-faith-votes-charged-possession-child-sex-abuse-material/

...according to a probable cause statement filed in the case, the former CEO, Jason Yates, has a prior conviction for a similar charge, which was expunged.

The organization in question's top news item is apparently complaining about pedophiles:

https://www.myfaithvotes.org/

So-Called 'Equality Act' Could Undo Free Speech, Mandate Murder Of Unborn Children, Make Pedophiles A 'Protected Class'

A bill positioned as the "Equality Act" is gradually moving its way through Congress, and is designed to "crush moral decency and religious freedom beneath the feet of the radical LGBT & Q lobby," says experts.

That's actually kind of impressive.

[-] tal@lemmy.today 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I think this might be apropos here:

Matthew 7:3-5:

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?  How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?  You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
