So this is the way this "christian pastor" disciplines kids!!! And during Bible study kid was forced to pinch his own nipples with pliers!!! And he worked at a home for troubled youth!!!
Sure he isn't representative of all christians but it is just this sort of story which puts conservative christians in a bad light.

Why any neighborhood would let cars line up and down their street for an inhome church is beyond me.

He may only get sentenced to 2 years in prison? And his cohorts only 1 year? Give me a break! People found in possession of drugs get more time. This justice system is so f**ed.

I agree fragile. Let out the folks caught with a few ounces of pot and make room for the really dangerous idiots.

Religion and crime are two separate issues. Lumping them together is an attempt to bring your bias into the subject. Atheists, Agnostics, Satanists, Buddhists, Hindus, and Muslims all commit rapes, child sex crimes, murders, and various other crimes every day. To single out a specific religion, is to show your agenda against such religion. I don't think that conservative Christians are in a bad light because of one individual (or 100) more that any other religion or sect.

The sentencing on this crime seems a bit light considering the circumstances as well by the way. Such a shame.

This is why religion should be banned, or at the very least contained on an island state to avoid spreading the virus of "faith".

People put children in the care of religious people in camps and sunday schools and orphanages, and such. They have implicit trust that men and women of god will look over the most vulnerable of the lord's flock.

But they sexually abuse them and twist their nipples with pliers instead.

Eventually you'll be right, people will realize that no one should be trusted around their children religious or not and even people who claim to be righteous and live by the bible are twisted, sick, evil perverts who are no better than random crack addicts and common criminals where morality is concerned.

I've said this before in other posts, threads, etc., but you just can't trust anyone. I don't. And that's sad, but I'm alive, safe, and sane.

They also put their children into Muslim schools, Hindu schools, Buddhists schools, and those children are abused by evil perverts who are no better than random crack addicts and common criminals where morality is concerned. Christianity has nothing to do with how sick someone is.

A problem is that religion teaches people to blindly trust their leaders.
