You are assuming that they have a good and rational reason. People (regardless of beliefs) are very often irrational, get bad advice, and use faulty reasoning.

It is reasonable to assume, given that we are talking about outing two minors who were sexually assaulted, that the are being one or more of: irrational, taking bad advice, or using faulty reasoning of some kind. Because there is really no good reason to do some things -- and no good reason to support the doing of some things, or to assume some far-fetched hypothetical justification as if it is likely to be true.

WTH drives them to state, ’They should not be able to hide’. Christians talk about the morality they get from their bible, but do they live it when push comes to shove? Heck NO! They are the most moral decrepit organizations, and individuals there is. Scum.

Abuse, whether sexual or physical, of children, and those that enable and excuse it, need to be denounced by all. If you are a christian who doesn't, then you are as complicit as these individuals.
They aint all like that kingfish, but I am with you on this one, they look more like darkness and evil rather than light and love.


What a damn shame.


I felt re-victimized when I had confronted my past and went o a doctor, even a group session where they re victimized everyone who was there. These poor woman abused by fathers, uncles and brothers and they has us going to re visit that time and the leader started talking in a child's voice saying,'' Don't daddy.''
Well that's all I could stand, I stood up and made a speech how this supposed religious was abusing them and taking advantage of that abuse and more the half the women got up and followed me, what poc. People running around making money on other people's misery.

A post that made me think. You know the point is sometimes made that this or that poster starts a thread to bash religion with such things. We do, I have to admit, look like we use it not so much out of concern for the victims, but as a point in the ongoing debate.

Well, if it is opportunism, it doesn't hurt to point up what the churches themselves should be jumping on. If they did, then we wouldn't really be able to use it in threads like this, the churches would look better than they do, and they wouldn't be so worried about the rise of the Nones as they are.
