Oh it's not just one case.

There have been many. Many which will never see the light of a court date.

Are all Christians like this? Of course not.

But sterotypes and broad generalizations are always valid when Christians are holding the brush.

Interesting how they protest when someone else is brushing the canvas.

Care to give some links? Or are we just supposed to have "faith" that your word is correct?

I'm disgusted with the girl's parents. Where were they?
Apparently their "faith" was more important than their own daughter. Most parents would have a hard time not ripping the rapist apart.

I know, the Christaphobes find the religious equivalent of a four leaf clover and then proclaim Christianity as bad as Islam. Moral equivalence! Never mind that Islam calls for lashing, stoning, humiliating, and murdering the rape victim as a matter of religious law.

One thing is not like the other . . . can you find the difference?

So here you have it, Christians behaving like Muslims. Back in 1997, this girl gets raped (at the very least it's Statutory Rape) by a 38 year old married man, then, this wonderful group of loving, rational religious people; this congregation condemn the 15 year old girl and force her to read a wriiten apology for having sex with a 38 year old married man.

Now, I have always stated that Muslims are much more barbaric, vicious and delusional than Christians. But Christians aren't exactly out of the woods. Christians still have a long way to go before they can proudly proclaim to be mofre civilized, rational and humane than Muslims.
We don't know if it was consensual or not, thats what the now 52 year old man is saying.

HOWEVER......

For having sex with a 15 year old girl when he was 30's is indefensible.

All Christians should stand up and wholeheartedly speak up against this kind of abuse.

15 year olds can't legally consent in New Hampshire.

That is a very biased statement and a reflection of a sick mind.

I doubt that you have any evidence that this is "common behavior among Southern Christians."

now how many of you who say "OMG THATS SUCH A BROAD BRUSH" also paint Muslims with the "most of 'em are trouble" brush?
