He had been raping children for years. Tell me again how atheists have no morals. If I had no morals I would become a Christian minister so I could fuck anybody I wanted and get myself rich off my sheep's gullibility. 18 Years for molestationI'm drawing on my familiarity with European fairy tales, here, but it seems to me that bad people who want to do bad things to other people are attracted to religion because, first, it is easy to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. Second, there is almost a limitless pool of target 'sheep'. And third, because Christianity preaches forgiveness for sins, the bad guy has only to say the magic words, 'god forgive me' and he is off the hook. What a fertile field for scams of all kinds, pedophilia, bilking good people out of their life savings and countless other manipulations. The Willow Creek church thread is another example. IMDB2.freeforums.net/thread/120504/willow-church-pastor-elders-resignGive me verifiable facts, logic and reason any day. I'm done with getting screwed over. |

Doesn't surprise me one iota. Most religious fanatics are smarmy or trying to pray the devious thoughts away.
Just get mental health. God ain't gonna do much with sicknesses of the brain.

This is one person in the topic and they were likely hiding behind being a "Christian" to take advantage of His name etc. anyone can claim to be something but actually living that and taking it a bit more serious is another matter.
the reason why many of us Christians oppose atheists is because they tend to be liberal which oppose many of God's truths (i.e.they support abortion/gay agenda and the like etc which God opposes). these effect many people and society as a whole in a negative way. but I don't expect you to see this.
hell, look at those mass killers throughout history like Hitler/Stalin/Mao etc. they definitely ain't of the Christian type for sure. the devil was clearly working on them. as the saying goes, 'actions speak louder than words'.
p.s. plus, even based on Christianity... everyone is a sinner on some level. no one is perfect so mistakes will be made, some small and some no-so small. NOTE: this does not excuse the guy who abused the children obviously. but my point is... no one is immune from potentially going off-the-rails on some level, Christian or not. but ill add this... chances are many who really go off-the-rails lack regular prayer (as in daily prayers) as that's one thing that's not optional if one is going to resist temptations etc and become closer to God (basically become more holy). basically regular prayer gives one grace from God to work towards living a more holy life(it's not something that happens overnight though and is generally a slow process etc). but I don't expect this to make sense to you since you don't even believe in God.

The irony of demonizing others while comparing them to right-wing dictator Adolf Hitler and Communist dictators Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin is evidently lost on pious self-aggrandizing bores such as yourself. 👍 |

God ain't gonna do much with sicknesses of the brain.And that is just the point. This guy is more likely mentally ill than anything, however, he would have still known what he was doing but couldn't help himself. Hiding behind religion and God and then committing vile actions shows psychopathic and narcissistic tendencies and is the ultimate in hypocrisy, especially with what he was representing. If he is mentally ill though, shouldn't psychiatric care be more useful than throwing him in prison? At any rate, I would say the majority of vile offenders in prison would have aberrant psychological issues. |
