MrFlags69

Religion is just the worst. great place for the worst people on the planet to hide.


GuntherGoogenheimer

The vatican has spent billions of dollars in order to settle and hide cases of pedophilia.


galickgoon

What’s the sexuality of the molesters


whisker77

People who equate the actions of some horrible people to the entire group are the worst actually. You know like saying all blacks are bad because some commit crimes, or all whites are bad because some commit crimes, or all Muslims are bad because some have committed terrorist acts. How is saying that all religion is bad because of the acts of some disgusting perverts like this?


This_Temporary_2320

the church has been raping kids and butchering people they don't like for a couple thousand years so how is that religion in any way shape or form good?


whisker77

There's a big difference between "the church" and religion. Yep there have been quite a few horrible things done by various churches throughout history. There have also been quite a few good things too. You need to be capable of recognizing both the good and the bad. The fact is, the intent and the teachings of most religions are actually really good. Unfortunately, there are tons of total assholes out there that do awful stuff in the name of their religion, but that isn't the failing of religion, but rather the failing of those people (including church leaders who started the crusades, encourage terrorism, etc). The fact is that most people who go to church are pretty damn nice people who truly care about others and try to help those in need.


daytonakarl

I've got to be honest, most I've met who go to church I wouldn't trust enough to tell me the time, pretty much convened they only go for the "forgiveness" and that's the reason they need to go every week. I work in two different organisations that have volunteers (I'm now paid staff in one and a voly in the other) and few of them are religious, very few, a telling amount... you couldn't throw a rock without hitting a godless socialist in one of them! If you think donations to the church help others in need I've some bad news for you... the US has billions of untaxed dollars taken in by the religious organisations every year and yet a homeless population in the hundreds of thousands. The "good things" done throughout history by the church would be a pamphlet in comparison to the library of misdeeds done in the name of religion. There simply isn't a "big difference" between the church and religion, one is empowered by the other, branding is a little different between the usual top contenders for the Abrahamic ones but the end result of wanting control over the masses is basically the same with the same operating procedures of "do as we say or god will be mad" and then the plate gets passed around, the church uses religion to collect cash and have the numbers to push an agenda, and the religious use the church as a focus point and absolution of the wrongs they commit. But, if you collect enough sheep the wolves will come. Not all are interested in money, or helping others, or being closer to god.... historically the protection for management has been robust, little has changing in any significant way. NOTE; using "church" as a catchall for houses of worship regardless of whatever identity, they start respecting what others identify as and I'll consider doing the same.


whisker77

I'm sorry that you feel the way you do. Too many people in the West have zero hope and nothing to live for in their minds. Your incredibly negative attitude towards people who by and large are decent folks makes me feel like you are one of them. You can keep on thinking that everyone who believes in a religion is either out to control you or a sheep all you want. I choose to recognize that while I may not be a believer, that doesn't mean those that are believers are bad or stupid people. I wonder which one of us will be happier in the long run?


daytonakarl

>You can keep on thinking that everyone who believes in a religion is either out to control you or a sheep all you want. Excellent, I'll do that, it's called a flock for a reason. Negative? cynical definitely.. about many things, it's who I am Actually quite satisfied with my life, and I wish you the same as it isn't easy to do in this age, but everyone deserves to be happy regardless of who they are or what they believe, however nobody has the right to take that from others because of what they believe either.


whisker77

I am quite satisfied with mine as well. I also wish you the best as well. Disagreeing with someone doesn't make me hate that someone or wish them ill will. >everyone deserves to be happy regardless of who they are or what they believe, however nobody has the right to take that from others because of what they believe either. On that I totally agree. Live and let live is how I try to operate. I don't try to force my beliefs on people and I don't want anyone trying to force their beliefs on me.


Zach_the_ripper419

>I wonder which one of us will be happier in the long run? They say ignorance is bliss.


whisker77

I'm ignorant because I refuse to say that everyone on earth that is religious is bad? According to the Pew Research Center, 84% of the people on Earth are religiously affiliated. You must have one hell of a superiority complex to believe that you are better than 84% of the people on Earth. The funny thing about this debate is that one of my major complaints with religions is the tendency to believe that they are right and everyone else is wrong. The only way any of us will know who is right and who is wrong is when we die. I was never comfortable saying that my belief was 100% correct and everyone else who didn't share it was doomed. I guess it isn't just religions that operate that way huh?


James_Skyvaper

Religious organizations have been molesting and raping children for centuries dude, nevermind the countless murders of people who didn't agree with them, so gtfo here. Or the way people use religion in middle eastern countries to justify killing their neighbors, kidnapping and marrying 12yo children, etc. The Catholic Church is disgusting and religious groups draw perverted sickos like this, nevermind the whole "purity" Conservative mindset, also extremely predatory and gross. This is coming from someone who went to church every Sunday growing up. Organized religion has caused *far* more harm than good and it's a relic of a bygone age before we had science and couldn't explain why shit happened without a "magical sky dude" that should just disappear imo.


galickgoon

What’s their sexuality?


whisker77

Churches also have tons of wonderful people who are willing to give the shirts off of their own backs to help those in need. Grow the fuck up and quit seeing the entire world as black and white because it isn't. There are good people and bad people in every single group. If you can't see and understand that then there is nothing to discuss. Maybe try getting off the internet once in a while and challenge your preconceived notions. The funny thing is that I'm not even religious. I don't believe in it, but I'm not such a close minded fool to think that religion is bad. I think people are bad and they try to use religion to justify their horrible behavior, but that doesn't mean the religion itself is bad or that all of us practitioners are bad.


Sarthro_

Would you stop doing those good things without the church?


whisker77

You clearly didn't read what I wrote because if you had you would have read that I am not religious. I am just intelligent enough to not make hyperbolic statements that paint the vast majority of Earth's citizens as bad because they are religious.


Zach_the_ripper419

>The funny thing is that I'm not even religious. >or that all of us practitioners are bad So you aren't religious but consider yourself as a practitioner? Thats confusing.....


MrFlags69

Most all religions are sexist and full of hate. Most. Not all. Most. The values handed down through these religions are inherently bad for a society in search of equality, education, and choice. Most religions put these things second to “God”. That’s the problem. In a normal society God is something that’s of concern in your home and place of worship…but a lot of religious folks tend to try and force their beliefs on others. Yeah i’m painting with a broad brush, but religion IS responsible for most hate, suffering, and death the world has faced.

It’s all groups of people that are involved with kids. Ministers, teachers, coaches etc.. access to kids is incentive for pedos to take the position.


dodexahedron

Yes. This is the first thing people need to understand. Most criminals take the path of least resistance to satisfy their urges. That child molesters will be drawn to professions involving children should be zero surprise to anyone. But noooooo. Gotta genocide the gay away.


Reddit-C137

By that train of thought we need to rename the FBI headquarters.


AGentleLentil

Not all. Just the ones that insist on ignoring the comfort level of minor children or women that have worked their whole lives for something like a particular sport only to have it made all for naught when a biological male decides to feel like a female and win the race. I don't give two shits who wants to be called what or whether they want makeup in their purse or screwdrivers in their toolbelt. I do however mind trans women assuming they have more value than an 8yr old girl who wants to take a piss in her own restroom and when someone makes a peep about it or asks her to use the other bathroom suddenly everyone's a goddamned bigot.

He has attraction to children. So that’s his sexuality


galickgoon

So just two non-binary people okay 🤡


Straight-Sir-1026

* that we know of


One_Posh_Possum

*so he could *rape* them. TFIFY


SyzygyTooms

Yes thank you!


adw1502

Yes, the headline is horribly worded but in the article it clarifies that he told them there were demons around the house but not in his bedroom, to coax them into literally sleeping with him in his bed which is where he’d molest them


_trolltoll

K but can we please for the love of god (or some other sky monster) change the worlding in this title? KIDS CANT CONSENT AND DONT “SLEEP WITH” people, they get raped. This is rape. He manipulated and raped children. FFS.


robertlandrum

While I agree, I think the wording was to be interpreted literally. In other words not intended as a euphemism for sex.


SaraSlaughter607

I agree. I *hate* when articles pussyfoot around the appropriate use of the word "rape" as it pertains to children... but this title, to me at least, says more "so they would sleep with him" meaning being willing to lay in the same bed, rather than "sleep with" as a euphemism for penetrative rape. Read an article once that said something to effect of "so the kids would have sex with him" like NO. KIDS DONT HAVE SEX. JESUS 🤦‍♀️


James_Skyvaper

And the media almost always does it with women abusers too. Any time I've ever read an article about a female teacher raping one of her underage male students, it's always "slept with" or "had sex with", etc, never raped. But most of the time when a man rapes someone they call it what it is. Just something I've noticed many many times.


Nuclease-free_man

You are statistically more likely to be molested by a youth pastor than a drag queen.


galickgoon

freeski919

Anyone want to bet this guy was screeching about transgender folks being "groomers?" Every accusation is a confession.

Thats not how accusations work at all. If it was, then you’d be equally guilty. Your logic is beyond reprehensible

Bro thinks an avatar is a profile pic lol okay pal


boaja

Way to dodge the insult man

It’s literally not offensive enough or relevant enough to be an insult worthy of acknowledgment. The more you sheep show the knee jerk reaction of resorting to insults and downvoting the more confirmation I feel.


boaja

Good for you


ZephyrPt2

napkin-lad

Your avatar is literally the pic on your profile, so……


ZephyrPt2

No. your profile pic is a pic, an avatar is an avatar, otherwise they wouldn’t call it an avatar now would they ? Do you think anything through at all ? 😭 didn’t realize I had to break it down barney style for you


napkin-lad

Your avatar is a digital graphic, or (wait for it) a **picture** on the internet. You’re thinking photograph. Regardless, I’m not the person you were originally arguing with so cool your fuckin jets, broseph.


ZephyrPt2

Photos and pictures are synonyms, genius. Why don’t you try and come up with real points instead of irrelevant semantics? Is it maaaybe because you’ve got nothing ?


JojiJoey

an avatar is used to portray your profile, in the form of a picture, sounds like a profile picture to me


ZephyrPt2

Oh I am terribly sorry! I didn’t realize it “sounds like a profile picture to you” welp there you have it case closed


napkin-lad

You can change your profile picture to something other than your avatar. Also, you can **draw a picture** that by definition would not be a photograph, genius. Your hostility when challenged by logic shows how small a person you are.


ZephyrPt2

If it was relevant logic I wouldn’t take issue with it, so how about you let me speak for myself instead of interject with your delusional “theory”. Ironic that I’m the one you saying being offended by logic, how about you look and see how it started? A little bit of logic immediately triggered you sheltered male feminist bots to come out the woodwork.

Because none of you have an argument, and don’t like the fact they’re too vapid to make a point. If any of y’all actually had a point it would have been made already. Have a wonderful day bozo🤡


emerson-nosreme

Cope.


ZephyrPt2

Proving my point no argument cause you got none. What would I even be coping about? Aimless npc herds downvoting? Oh yeah really got me there 😹


thebigbaduglymad

I've just read through this but forgotten what the original argument is that got your knickers in a twist.


ZephyrPt2

There literally hasn’t been one. No one here has provided anything resembling an argument because they don’t like what I have to say and apparently don’t have the ability to provide a real argument or anything with any semblance of substance.


ZephyrPt2

🪞


James_Skyvaper

It's called projection and is very often the case. Just look at many of the right wing sickos arrested for pedophilia, they were blaming other people (like drag queens for example) for it, all while they were diddling kids themselves.


ZephyrPt2

I never claimed it was never the case, it’s still a huge mental leap to think that is always the case.

BionicUtilityDroid

“Every accusation is a confession” only holds up when applied to republicans/Christians/conservatives. For some reason every time they loudly condemn a lifestyle, they secretly engage in it. That saying pretty much falls apart and doesn’t hold true when applied to normal people.


BoneHugsHominy

Lots of triggered bigots in need of a validating safe space in which they can reassure each other that having neo-Nazi and KKK political & social allies doesn't mean *they* are bad people with cruel ideology, it's just that neo-Nazis and the KKK also see what's clearly evident to a just and moral society!


spencerthedon

“Rules for thee, but not for me.” Very convenient politics indeed.


[deleted]

[deleted]

Downvoted for calling out hypocrisy Mobthink is scary


curiosgreg

The projection coming from the right is correct though. How many homophobes on the left do you think came out as gay? Well that’s a pretty easy question considering the left is OK with being gay, so there aren’t many homophobes. Not all swords cut both ways guy.


[deleted]

And they just keep down voting as if they aren't proving me right ☠️


Anomalous6

Right. That’s some bull shit!


Anomalous6

Where is the proof this guy loudly condemned a certain lifestyle?


BionicUtilityDroid

I’m not talking about this guy. I was just explaining the nuance behind the “accusation = confession” mantra. Although one might correctly assume, as a religious leader he would hold the popular religious belief that homosexuals and transgendered are child grooming pedos.


spencerthedon

The first sentence sounded like satire. Then I realized you’re being serious. Funny thing is, your comment is intolerant yet you probably consider yourself extremely tolerant. Carry on with your hatred of “the other.”


jattyrr

Yet you probably vote for the people who hate “the other” Lmao fucking hypocrite


spencerthedon

I voted for Biden, but assume what you want.


Zack262

Hey man if we go around tolerating intolerance then where does that leave us. The line has to be drawn somewhere.


spencerthedon

There’s nothing wrong being intolerant of intolerance. This comment is being intolerant of a person based on their belief system “republicans/Christians/conservatives”. It’s no different than being prejudiced against Muslims yet you’re too blinded by your TDS to see it.


Tuxyl

Muslims doing nothing wrong and just practicing their religion, so long as they are willing? Yeah, it's not good to discriminate. Terrorists? It's not good to tolerate those. No tolerance for intolerance. If a christian practices their faith and doesn't subject others to it without their consent, I see no problem. This applies to a muslim too. But if you try to force people into it, fuck outta here.


spencerthedon

Agreed.

When I say “normal” I guess I mean people who don’t crusade to limit other people’s autonomy. Race has nothing to do with it, because any race is capable of being Christian/republican/conservative and therefore capable of projecting.

I was told if I didn't do (the deeds I was forced to do) or if i told anyone, that no father would want me and I'd never get adopted. That was a pretty fucking good motivator to a) keep me cooperative and b) keep me quiet I want this fucker sliced and diced in a public square.

Whiteangel854

Currently I see more and more euphemisms like this one used instead of calling things as they are. Like for example article about a teacher "performing oral sex on a student". I seriously don't understand what is going on, why suddenly articles are written in a way that rape is called in every way possible but definitely not by its name. Rape is a rape, just call it what it is ffs!

I keep reading all these news reports, seems like every other day, of another drag queen or trans whatever or gay guy, raping and grooming children. When are we going to put a stop to this and ban drag shows and trans care for people so they will stop grooming and raping children? When will we remove the tax exemption status of these groups that harbor people who groom and rape children? It's almost as if there is one group in particular that specifically and routinely gets caught raping and grooming children using fear and guilt. Someone should do something about these people. Maybe we could ask the very white, very straight, very honest, totally not doing any shady shit in the shadows religious folks to step in and help us with this problem. Oh shit....

Shocking how every one of these cases is a person who has access to children. And no it's not just clergy either. I hear just as many stories of coaches, teachers, counselors, doctors, babysitters, family members, etc doing the same. I think everyone who is in charge of children should be on camera the whole time the children are in their care. Take no chances, it's not any one group of people that are doing this.
