I'd suggest you ought to actually look at what the religion teaches, and if you don't know, perhaps you ought to defer to an expert...maybe......someone who has been to school for it and actually TEACHES IT....maybe a PASTOR? Yah...that might be an idea.....
LOL, I studied (and tried very hard to adopt) Christianity literally for decades.
May I suggest that you are actually the one who needs a brush-up course? Only God can see into a man's soul and know what he's actually thinking. You may also need a little re-reading of Ecclesiastes. No one on earth is sinless. None. Zero. Zip. Which would, I'm assuming (since they're human, correct?) include "real" Christians. Since no man on earth is sinless, and Christian men are real actual men and not holograms or something, then "real" Christians can in fact sin, including touching little boys. You have some reading ahead of you this weekend; but do let me know if you need further corrections here, I'm here to help.
I've given my story before. Decades. Literally. Actually I just gave it on the Christianity board, if you check my previous posts you'll see it...I can't remember which thread it was in, I've been all over the boards today. It may have been the "son of God" one?
Yes. Decades. The simple fact is that I wasn't about to dismiss Christianity out of hand, I wanted to seek God myself, not listen to Cliff's Notes and think "oh, this is all hooey." So no. I don't need help in that direction but thank you.
In yet ANOTHER story of good deeds, a Christian pastor recently did something nice for his community. He took his neighbor (non church-goer) to a detox center 90 minutes away where he was able to get sober. 6 months later, the man is still sober and very grateful for the help received.
Now that is what I like to hear. Thanks for posting the thread.
I have had Christian folks (one of them a pastor) going out of their way for me. Was it because they were Christian or because they are good people at heart? Probably both.
I just want to show that there are honest, good, hard-working pastors that toil day in and day out, many in small churches in areas like mine, that never get heard of.
I'm still trying to figure out how driving a neighbor for a 90 minute trip to a rahab center is an example of "toiling". It's a nice thing to do.... but..... coal mining is "toiling". Driving a car? Not so much.

His car is a manual?
I'm kidding. Despite our bickering, Vizio, I am (as I said much earlier in this thread) happy to hear you helped someone and I wish that man the best of health.
Dude said "toil," not "waterboarding-level torture."
Having lived through years of waterboarding-level torture probably affects my definition of "toiling".
