What is it with Christians and pedophilia?
As someone who grew up in a fundamentalist Christian household, and have been around a lot of “Christians,” i think many of them become so fiercely religious because they think it will help them overcome “sinful” tendencies. For example, my father liked to drink and fight in his twenties. Around the time I was born he became fiercely religious. I’ve always assumed that was because he wanted to clean up his life to be a better dad. He stopped drinking but he found plenty of people to fight in his own house …
You trying to say that you think this isn’t happening in, say, Muslim circles?
Cuz I have a really good bridge here that I’d like to sell and I’d just like to be sure you’re interested.
All religions are abusive, and it’s not only sexually.
Whatabout Muslims?
Not necessarily all, there are plenty of what I would call folks religions that are more or less the eclectic tales and legends of a family or village that aren’t abusive. The abuse only really gets to be a problem once you start getting organization of a greater degree than that one uncle who knows your kins oral history like the back of their hand.
conservative christian activist
pedo
like a clockwork
…the orange menace has just rescinded a rule making priests tattle on kiddie diddling priests…
this is the admin of rape and sexual assault.
Being Conservative and being Christian aren’t compatible ideologies. You can follow the teachings of Jesus or be conservative, you can’t do both.
This assumes that Christian means “follow the teachings of Jesus Christ”. Unfortunately Christianity has never meant that. Even less in the US since Billy Graham.
I have no idea what you’re talking about, it’s always meant that. Anyone who doesn’t follow the teachings of Jesus but calls themselves Christian is just lying.
I’m not sure they’re lying as long as they actually think they are christians but are just wrong about it in your eyes.
There are definitely millions of people who “follow” the teachings (they listen when somebody feeds them a tracking) even though they don’t implement them in real life.
Have you read on the history of evangelical Christians during the US civil war? Two different factions of Christians argued both sides, against and pro slavery. Both cited Jesus and the bible, often.
Christianity is anything you want it to be. Proof is on the fact that there are like 45 thousand different Christian denominations, and they all have a different interpretation of Jesus, some diametrically opposite each other. Even the apostols argued with each other about how to interpret Jesus on certain topics. That’s the problem of trying to rule your life under the words and teachings of one single person.
Funnily enough, an enormous amount of Americans somehow did the mental gymnastics tomdo both anyway
You just start saying that Jesus was this blonde guy with an Arnold Schwarzenegger type body, who loved CEO’s and shit like that.
That in turn also goes to show how dumb religions are
God has an oddly ironic and dark sense of humor, I’d be worried that heaven is a massive monkeypaw situation.
Biblically accurate heaven is literally you spending every moment on your knees in prayer forever. Does that count as a monkey paw?
100%
Wtf is it with these assholes and even being attracted to kids???
I think it’s people projecting. Then they make a whole charade out of it, and it gives them free access to the most vulnerable people without safeguards. I’ll never truly understand it.
Power
It’s always the ones you most suspect.
Hey look, another not a drag queen.
It’s always the ones you most expect.
Another drag quee— wait, no? Still not? Huh. Imagine that.
So this guy faced 8 counts, with a maximum sentence of 10 years each. He pled guilty to 2 counts in exchange for getting the other six dropped. he’s gonna go for some psych evaluation, maybe spend some time in jail, maybe not. He left his cushy gig, but I’m sure in a few months he will go on a public speaking tour about how repentant he is, the board will talk about how God always gives second chances, and he’ll get back pretty much everything.
Meanwhile, there are immigrants who are being tossed out of the country by this administration for much more minor offenses committed 10 or 20 years ago (which they already paid the price for). They have been following all the rules since then, and now we decide we don’t want them here anymore, and they lose everything they built here.
I think our values are all out of whack here.
US morals have always been out of wack/hypocritical
US declaration of Independence: Freedom
US constitution: 3/5 clause implicitly allowed slavery
It did…. And it still does
Note the exception clause:
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.[1]

Well, they really are constantly thinking of the children…
No drag queens here.
When’s the last time a Drag Queen hurt anybody? I don’t remember any incidents.
2008, Hess Village, a drag queen told me “you know clothes come in colours now, right?” It wasn’t even part of a set — I was just walking on the sidewalk.
Hess village in hamilton? Thats your problem, its the people who go to hess, not drag queens specifically that are the issue.
Is there any other? As someone who used to go there, I can confirm I was also on occasion the issue.
of course they do. that’s why I wear two of them - one colour for my pants, and one colour for my shirt
nothing too bright, of course
June 28, 1969 Marsha and a few friends really hurt the fee fees of some fascist losers by having the audacity to stand up for themselves.
Thats the only thing I can come up with.
Rest in power Marsha.
I believe in democracy. We should have Drag Presidents or Drag Prime Ministers instead IMO.
That’s dragocracy. Still, better than what the USA has now.
How actually great would that be though
I grabbed a drink with a buddy a couple weeks ago at a bar that happened to be having Drag Bingo. The host kinda guilt-tripped me for not playing. That’s about the worst interaction I’ve ever had with a Queen.
Most famous one I have in recent memory was Sherry Pie, lied to a bunch of young gay men saying he was auditioning for something and coerced them into recording themselves doing sexual actions.
Not the worst thing in the world but still is a pretty awful thing to do to others
Edit; probably important to note that he did this out of drag, his drag persona was not involved at all (iirc)
It’s always the ones you suspect the most.
If this surprises you even a little, I don’t know how to help you.
It’s still surprising because we still allow these conservatives near children
It’s always the people you most suspect.
The only surprising thing is that there are so many people who know about these people and say nothing.
Another one for the list of republican sexual predators, abusers, and enablers.
