If you want your kids raped bring them around a pastor.

ralakus ,

It looks like they're trying to bring the pastors to the kids instead

This is a giant red flag waving at the speed of sound. This is projection. I would bet my salary this guy has raped children.

Makes sense. It has definitively stopped child abuse in churches! Oh, wait.

Just look at the Catholics!

Is no pedophilia one of the commandments?

brlemworld ,

Stop giving whoever this is a voice.

Covering extremists with a critical take isn’t “giving them a voice.” People listen to this stuff. If you don’t understand it, you can’t understand other Americans

Additionally, not covering it would allow them to grow, evolve, and plan in the dark.

Magical thinking. This man needs to be given a fucking medal for his stupidity

Delusional ,

I say that Darwin awards start being awarded to the dumbest people imaginable without dying. They're so dumb that if not for modern inventions, they clearly would've died long ago. Lots of Darwin awards to give out but trump is the first. He deserves it for getting his brainwashed idiot followers to not follow simple rules to not get covid. He is personally responsible for hundreds of thousands of American's deaths.

If posting them in the churches didn't stop priests and pastors, why would it work differently with teachers in schools?

Their training to be a man of the cloth gains them resistance to holy damage

Resistance sure, but they act like they're fully immune. I have a few words for the GM, shits unbalanced af

we could just silence them for good, ya know?

It hasn't stopped preachers from raping kids even though the ten commandments are in churches.

That hasn't stopped the Church, GOP, Youth Pastors or Cops.

barsquid ,

The Ten Commandments don't even stop priests from raping children.

dessimbelackis ,

There’s nothing in the Ten Commandments about not raping people period.

Astongt615 ,

You could argue "adultery" in a more general sense (or maybe in the original context outside of English, I'm not sure) could contain the modern definition as well as the general idea of "being with someone who is not your spouse".

Hey legal question and totally unrelated.

If I got some furry porn commissioned and named one of the characters "Pastor Jack Hibbs" then alerted the media in Chino California of the existence of said porn would anything bad happen? Pretty sure it would fall under protected speech because a reasonable person wouldn't conclude I was claiming that he was an anthropomorphic fox.

Beside the idiocy of thinking that the mere displaying of the Ten Commandments automatically makes the property in question somehow more righteous, more moral, or just generally safer for children... you do know that the Ten Commandments, notably and infamously, do not have any commandment forbidding rape OR pedophilia. And, in fact, the Bible seems to be generally fine with those things at least under certain situations, so...

Honestly, probably helps explain all that child raping going on in churches. Nobody wrote down that they couldn't.

pyre ,

that's one hell of a parallel universe airbud scene

"it says a man shall not lie with a man... doesn't say anything about boys"

Viking_Hippie ,

You've put the concept Horny Airbud into my brain and I would like to return it, please.

datavoid ,

I didn't even know airbud could talk

madcaesar ,

Yup, the Bible btw loves rape. There are tons of stories about rape in there... And they don't all end with "that's why you shouldn't rape".

kryptonianCodeMonkey ,

There's fucking instructions on how to getcha a good rape victim!

Numbers 17-18 (paraphrased):

"1.Kill all the men and boys. 2. Kill all the women who has had sex with a man. 3. Kidnap the remaining women and girls that are still virgins, and take them for yourselves as wives."

Judges 21:20-23 (again, paraphrased):

"Go stalk and hide in the places where young women do their traditional dances. When they come out to dance, catch and kidnap one for yourself and take her as your wife. When their male family members protest, tell them that the men should actually be helping you to steal their daughters and sisters because you didn't didnt manage to get any in the war, so you need these girls. Tell them it's fine, they don't have to be guilty, because they didn't actually offer them the girls themselves.

And they did that, kidnapped the young women, and returned home with them."

For context on this one, there was a place that most isrealites deemed too sinful to exist, like Sodom, so they decided to do a genocide on it. But one tribe refused to do said genocide, and stood against the rest of the tribes. All of that tribe were then killed except 600 men by the rest of the Isrealites.

But that left those 600 men without wives, and they were still the chosen people. So, while the rest of Isreal swore to never let their daughters marry someone from that tribe, they still decided to help get them replacement wives.... with another genocide. When another tribe failed to join their war coalition, they went and killed everyone there except the virgin girls, around 400 of them. Then gave the wifeless tribe the above instructions.

What makes this story extra shitty is the entire reason for the original genocide was because one group of men raped and murdered one woman. While that it abhorrent, they then corrected this crime with at least 400 rapes and tens of thousands of murders. Yaaaaay. Much better. Thanks, The Bible!

That shit is in the fucking Bible. Read those passages for the direct translations without my paraphrasing, if you like. It doesn't get any better.

Doom ,

This guy definitely assaulted a child in his life

nova_ad_vitum ,

At the very least he knows the age of consent in every jurisdiction.
