What is it with Christians and pedophilia?
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 ....
You trying to say that you think this isn't happening in, say, Muslim circles?
Cuz I have a really good bridge here that I'd like to sell and I'd just like to be sure you're interested.
All religions are abusive, and it's not only sexually.
Whatabout Muslims?
Not necessarily all, there are plenty of what I would call folks religions that are more or less the eclectic tales and legends of a family or village that aren't abusive. The abuse only really gets to be a problem once you start getting organization of a greater degree than that one uncle who knows your kins oral history like the back of their hand.
It's always the ones you most suspect.
It's always the people you most suspect.
Hey once again, not a trans person, but a white Christian male.
Well, they really are constantly thinking of the children...
The only surprising thing is that there are so many people who know about these people and say nothing.

like a clockwork
...the orange menace has just rescinded a rule making priests tattle on kiddie diddling priests...
Being Conservative and being Christian aren't compatible ideologies. You can follow the teachings of Jesus or be conservative, you can't do both.
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.
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.
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.
Have you read on the history of evangelical Christians during the US civil war? Two different factions of Christians argued both sides, against and pro slavery. Both cited Jesus and the bible, often.
Christianity is anything you want it to be. Proof is on the fact that there are like 45 thousand different Christian denominations, and they all have a different interpretation of Jesus, some diametrically opposite each other. Even the apostols argued with each other about how to interpret Jesus on certain topics. That's the problem of trying to rule your life under the words and teachings of one single person.
Funnily enough, an enormous amount of Americans somehow did the mental gymnastics tomdo both anyway
You just start saying that Jesus was this blonde guy with an Arnold Schwarzenegger type body, who loved CEO's and shit like that.
That in turn also goes to show how dumb religions are
Hey look, another not a drag queen.
Another drag quee— wait, no? Still not? Huh. Imagine that.
It’s always the ones you most expect.
At this point, if you're a Christian it's not unfair to just assume that you're a pedophile
Same applies to all other religions, it's not as if this isn't happening in, say, Muslim or Hindu circles
Gotta love religions
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.
US morals have always been out of wack/hypocritical
US declaration of Independence: Freedom
US constitution: 3/5 clause implicitly allowed slavery
If this surprises you even a little, I don’t know how to help you.
It's still surprising because we still allow these conservatives near children
Anyone even remotely surprised?
Christian guide to pregnancy and childbirth for sale on a dark web child abuse website:
These are the people having sweet dreams about a Gilead-like society every night
Love thy neighbor, no matter the age.
No drag queens here.
When's the last time a Drag Queen hurt anybody? I don't remember any incidents.
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.
It's always the ones you suspect the most.
Onion article incoming: "John Doe, former CEO of Eternal Love, not found to have any child porn in his possession. Police were astonished to find a squeaky clean hard drive in his office..."
Another one for the list of republican sexual predators, abusers, and enablers.
then hes not christian
Conservative Christianity is the most glaring sign that someone is likely a pedophile. I'm not surprised in the slightest.
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.
Is there a slur for christians? There really needs to be one
Pedo
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…
Oh, wow. I’m so shocked I could power a dim bulb for about two seconds.
...maybe, stop fucking kids?...
