Just spit balling here but, I'm thinking the kids that got rear ended against their will are a tad more sick about the predator than some moral majority/family values person rolling around in hypocrisy, don't you?


While the moral majority is full of hypocrisy it probably falls short of similar criticism than those that say, pray on kids for sex.


Said another way, I would rather break bread with Pat Robertson than some wayward preacher boning a youngster.


It's probably just me. Maybe others are "stronger"......sigh....

Are you serious? The biggest rapists in our society are heterosexual men. Do educate yourself before
posting foolishness.

A hypocrite of the highest order and he was no man of God, I don't care how many of his brainwashed, dimwitted members of his cult at New Birth say so.

I don't understand why so many gay black men are a part of an institution that clearly lets them know they're not welcome, or dealing with so-called "Christians" who smile in their face and condemn them to hell behind their backs...Not to mention my personal beliefs about how the black church has become nothing more than an institution that keeps black people in America mentally enslaved, docile, and subservient to white supremacist ideals. Since we're going off topic and all...

Were Martin Luther King, Jr., and Ralph David Abernathy, the leaders of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, attempting to "keeps black people in America mentally enslave, docile, and subservient to white supremacist ideas."? These men were pastors of Christian churches. Just saying...


Many posters on this site seem to have a lot of baggage and don't think before they post...

Yes, over 60 years ago when the black church was a much more relevant institution than it is now. A lot of leaders had the misguided notion that integrating and seeking love and validation from people who mostly hated blacks was a great idea more or less fits into what I'm talking about. Instead of focusing on economic empowerment and self determination like Asians and Jews do, we were worried too much about massa loving our black asses...And how has that worked out for us? Truth hurts I guess. Just saying...

Oh no, but according to white republicans and conservatives, the only racists out there are blacks and others who call them out on their racism. You know, the types who think Dylan Roof is a hero for helping them "take their country back," and all white Americans (except those '*******s' are paragons of virtue and are just "telling it like it is," and "true Americans."

That sounds to contradict what you say but then again, the bible is full of contradictions.

By the way, you do know that the verses I sent from romans and corinthians I are part of the new testament?
