BIGUN 1,317 #2 May 23, 2016 normiss and christians are worried about bathrooms? Still more dangerous than LGBT people: men of the cloth along with democratic and republican politicians. I left a list in an earlier post demonstrating that both parties are equally in this category. As for the guns... I think Tennessee is more a late night hanging party type state. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We should at least take out their families, so that pastors will think twice before committing such crimes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coreeece 2 #5 May 23, 2016 It's sad, as if sex trafficking isn't sick enough - that you have to spin this into a conservative christian issue and toss it up with some completely unrelated bullshit about guns in churches. It's a bit disturbing how people can take advantage of these stories about abused children and use them in order to score political points and attack groups of people that they hate. The story is about 32 individuals that were arrested for sex trafficking including a firefighter and an engineer, but it's the minister that gets all the attention with his picture plastered on the "front page" along with the headline. If it were a Muslim that was singled out like that, you people would be flipping the fuck out.Never was there an answer....not without listening, without seeing - Gilmour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If a Muslim was involved it would be business as usual, and those criticizing his behavior would be excoriated for "islamophobia." As an aside, any scandal these days is a '-gate' and anything one finds distasteful is '-phobia," and neither of these appelations has much to do with any lexical definition.

muff528 3 #7 May 23, 2016 Perverts will exploit any opportunity available to them. They use those opportunities (whether by seeking positions of trust or by exploiting legal loopholes) to place themselves near their victims. That's just what they do.

normiss 801 #9 May 23, 2016 So you're cool with any person, any bathroom too? TWO ministers. I'm familiar with a TON of religious leader on young male victim sexual assaults in religion. Pretty disgusting actually. I would say the same (and have in this very forum) about similar incidents involving Muslim men as well. Why does it seem as though religion might be a common data point in sex offenses? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RonD1120 62 #10 May 23, 2016 Anyone abusing a position of trust to exploit children should suffer the most grievous punishment. I have zero tolerance for any phony teaching Sunday School and corrupting the minds of the young. The Bible says it would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone around their neck.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coreeece 2 #15 May 23, 2016 billvon>If a Muslim was involved it would be business as usual If a Muslim was involved Trump would be proposing deporting all the Muslims again He says a lot, but I thought his proposal was to deport all illegals - the majority of which are probably christian. As for the proper vetting of immigrants/refugees - The Obama administration has already "betrayed our values" by suspending the refugee program twice in the last 8 years to improve the process and limit fraud - so I don't think there's much to worry about anymore - tho I'm sure there's always room for improvement.Never was there an answer....not without listening, without seeing - Gilmour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 801 #21 May 23, 2016 Sorry, I thought the mistreatment and distrust of all Muslims was well known by now. In the US, we have Trump calling for ZERO admission of "Muslims" - not a mention of whether or not they're citizens. We suspend Muslim kids for making science projects. We try to disallow them their right to assemble and practice their beliefs. We instantly assume they are responsible for all crimes of terror (unless they're black) So if one is called or or inaccurately accused of some type of dishonesty or criminal behavior, it's because Muslim. How have you missed this? It has become standard protocol and would have generally been accepted as much here in SC, as it has in the past. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
