Evangelists abusing children, again

[RussBLib]

Yet more evidence that the fascist Republicans that charge that Democrats are all pedophiles is simply still more projection. They are so guilty, and guilty of feeling guilty, that they have to try and turn the charges around and blame Democrats. This story does not say these 2 are Republicans, but my spidey sense says they are. Beyond the political affiliation, they are exploiting religion for their own devious desires. How typical.

5. I used to post a lot of that here years ago

It's quite disturbing and I can only shake my head at how often families and children's confidence is abused by those who become "elevated" in the community and are assumed to be of high moral character because of "the book." In this day and age. Ignorance and stupidity may be too different things, but they are both tenacious and still practiced widely.

4. If the Good Lord didn't want there to be pedophiles, he wouldn't make kids so darn cute.

Come to think of it, if the Good Lord didn't want there to be pedophiles he would just smite them, or not create them in the first place.

At least Republicans have ensured that these poor abused children won't have to endure the trauma of an abortion. The Lord would send their souls straight to Hell for that.

Jesus wept.
