Wanna guess his political affiliation?
Nazi?
Ephebophile, which he’s very quick to remind us is different from pedophile?
The only way this matters is because they sit at separate tables in the prison cafeteria.
These are not political ideologies.
The Venn diagram is starting to disagree more and more these days.
Yes they are.
When the oligarchs want to fuck children, and pour global resources into keeping themselves out of jail while they fuck children, it’s a goddamn ideology.
My political ideology is also not what you would consider a political ideology, it’s “guillotine the bastards,” and on the political spectrum, it starts at the top, swoops to the bottom, then we get a new head basket.
It's always the people you most suspect.
......for you to poop on?
Actually, no. He'd probably get off on that.
What the fuck are you talking about, that's disgusting. Show me where this is happening and how to do it, so that I can avoid it.
With your knowledge on where, I think we can combine powers.
Aren't we both from Texas? Let's do it at the old Aquarena Springs. Where the pig swam.
convicted on sex felonies
Christian sexual ethics
Yeah that tracks.
I feel like this is a “why are you so focused on this topic” sort of question and answer
So ... when can we expect the announcement of his cabinet position?
So all of these abrahamic religious types really just looooove diddling kids, eh? Fucking hell.
Nah. Plenty of Hindus and Buddhists do it too. The problem isnt a specific religion or religions, people who want to hurt others are attracted to positions of authority. Religion offers the best cover.
so much for sexual ethics.
Always the ones you most expect.
Fork found in kitchen.
In nomine patris et filii et spiritus sancti, amen.
These people can't even follow societal ethics, let alone the dogma they set. Yet people will continue to swallow thought patterns whole for the freedom to not think.
a Christian ethic of marriage and sexuality
Big "sex for me but not for thee" vibes.
It's always the ones you most suspect
That's not going to be good for his book sales
He’s got his book on forgiveness ready to go to the publishers!
All publicity is good publicity.
Not a Democrat, atheist, or drag queen?
Aaaaaaand another one.
I'm running out of room guys.
I think he took his research way too seriously.
He is an expert in his field
Of course he was.
In psychology we call that reaction formation.
😂 let me guess... Another conservative weirdo protecting kids in his own unique way?
Ergo, Christian sexual ethics is criminal.
My humble opinion:
Many Christians (and people of other kinds of faith) truly want to be good humans. I know many christians. And although for many reasons I personally don't take their faith for me, I do recognize their honest intentions and beautiful hearts.
Then... then we have these scumbags... these abominations that not only abuse (in the general sense), but also target and scar for life the most vulnerable members of our society. These excuses of human beings are a complete waste of air and ~~must be castrated and~~ let to rot in prison.
Edit: Add strike-though. Great points in the comments. I must say I wrote too fast in the heat of the moment. I understand how castration may come from a desire of revenge rather than seeking to eliminate a threat to society. Thanks for the discussion!
Mutilation (including castration) is never okay. Prisons exist for criminals—committing a crime against humanity in retaliation instead is not okay. Also, you can't un-mutilate someone (in most cases), and the law makes mistakes.
Yes, somebody else also pointed out that we cannot trust the legal system to sentence the correct person (either due to corruption or legitimate mistakes).
Under the perspective of the "not undoable punishment". Is the death penalty also, never acceptable, or is there some nuance, in your opinion?
Thanks for the discussion :)
Their holy book is filled with rape, murder, genocide, incest, and ritualized cannibalism in the name of their god. It ends with them going to heaven while everyone else gets burned for eternity. There probably are decent people who get involved, but their decency does not stem from their religion. It’s a psychological coping mechanism that has become a good old boys club that holds itself as morally unaccountable to anyone but god for their actions. In the real world, people expect others to either not be an asshole, or if they are, actually atone by paying the consequences and change their ways, not just whisper some words to the sky and announce “all good, I’m forgiven”. You can insert a lot of other religions in here- do wrong, be sheltered from consequences by your cult, or if even they can’t protect you, double down on refusing to take accountability because you don’t think you answer to other humans.
ritualized cannibalism
wow, that's new for me, would you mind to elaborate?
The rest, good points. You touched several reasons why I don't endorse their faith myself.
Thanks for the comment
The ritualized cannibalism bit is transubstantiation, the belief that the blood(wine) and body(bread) of Jesus turn into his real blood and body during consecration in catholic mass.
But you could make a dig into it overall just beacuase the bread and wine are symbolic ritual cannibalism, very culty sounding when you look at it from another angle.
As you said though, that's a Catholic tradition, not Christianity as a whole, and it isn't directly supported by the Bible. Its their unique interpretation of the act of communion. The actual text seems pretty metaphorical IMO.
Communion is not really just a catholic tradition, and it is not a wild interpretation to make when a dude says these 2 things sybolically represent my flesh and blood, calling the whole ritual symbolic cannibalism is not a stretch.
Don't knock it until you try it!
