At this point I don't understand how there are still parents who leave their kids alone with members of any church, or republicans.
Like, "not all priests..." doesn't mean anything, you still won't take the fucking risk, right?
Never forget to post from the guy who said he would rather leave her child with a pedophile than an atheist
Stiiiiiiiil not a drag queen
Or a migrant
Or an ice cream salesman
Or a transgender person using the appropriate toilet.
Not a drag queen tho?
Reminder: not a democrat, not a trans athlete, not a member of the LGBTQ community, not a drag queen, not an immigrant.
I've seen him perform! Stage name is Miranda Warning. Oh that's right, never mind, still not a drag queen.
Religious institutions must be like pre-chloroformed honeypots for vile people looking to abuse others. “Oh Jesus also liked to sword fight with his penis? Right on — let’s go, then.”
For fucks sake, people… How transparent does it need to be? It’s a system of control like any other, but the controlled think they’re “following Christ”.
You want to protect your kids? Keep them the fuck away from religion and the religious.
The fact that these religious institutions cover up the sex abuse because they don't wanna lose any offerings in that collection plate is a whole other level of fucked up.
Religious institutions are the best place for manipulation. So it makes sense pedos would use them. Condition youth that don't know any better and their parents willing leave children in their care with no oversight.
100% agree, children are not safe in any religion. Now if they are adults, they can do fuck all. But children? Nope.
Another drag... Oh its a christian? How original. /s
Isn't it ironic that the "let's protect the children" crowd allows the children of their base to be the most abused, molested and sexually assaulted?
More than any other group and without creating any repercussions to the institution that harbours the highest percentage of verified pedophiles.
Last time I checked the numbers, 6% of Priests have engaged sexually with a minor. That's numbers that even shitty Hollywood can't even compete with.
Because their rules are about oppressing others.
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
Oh, I know and I agree.
But it's still ridiculous and awful to see these children, their children nonetheless become victims of abuse while they pretend it's not happening.
Because if there's any single one thing I am supposed to share with these mindless people is an aversion to the abuse of children. And if that were me and my community I would burn that institution to the ground until I found every trace of this.
If they kept their end of the watch as they claim others should I would at least respect their zeal as true. This way I got nothing for them. Absolutely nothing.
But I still don't want that to happen to those kids. This shouldn't happen. Period. Pointing out their hypocrisy and calling for their outrage to start by "cleaning their own house" works. I've seen it first hand. They don't like it when they know you're right even according to their narrow view of the world. If we just uphold them to the standard they believe they have, they don't have an out.
And less kids end up like this as a result.
I hate to break the news to you but for them, abuse of children is the oppression. For them, as long as you are rich enough and white enough, you can oppress (read: sexually abuse) children. Trump is lucky he's white enough.
Do not compare your hatred for child abusers with theirs.
"Someday I will be part of the in-group, after I win the lottery and get that raise, that's why we need to protect the elite, so my fortune will be safe!" - Literally every redneck and right-wing dumbass I've ever met, and I've met a LOT.
Many conservatives think they are part of the in group.
They already think they deserve to be special because other people aren't.
the “let’s protect the children” crowd
They don't want to protect children broadly, they want their kids protected from being abused by other people. You don't want someone mishandling your property after all.
Pinkerton, who has worked as a traveling evangelist in recent years, was “completely shocked” by the charges, his attorney said Monday.
I agree. I've never heard of anyone within the christian movement abusing their power to sexually exploit children. That has never happened, ever. Not once. Nada. Nope.
Absurdly, we all finance these pedophiles, their very favorite place to conceal themselves is the church/temple/mosque, and these are all tax free.
And now they can openly campaign, it's getting worse, not better.
It's always the ones you most suspect.
Huh interesting, not a trans or a drag queen, but in fact yet another white Christian male.
Republicans for child rape!
And nothing will be done to protect children from these monsters.
This isn't news.
