    Pretty disgusting. Many parents entrust these institutions to take care of their children and then this happens. Hopefully, someone can campaign on making churches safer for children so that these things don't happen.

    Sadly, rightwing preachers and catholic priests have a sordid reputation in this area.

    Can't even pretend to be surprised by this stuff any more. So terrible that children are forced into the company of people like this and then have to live with the consequences of their perversions.

    Also can't be surprised at the silence of people who think a man in a dress reading a storybook is the end of the world but suddenly lose interest when actual abuse happens at the hands of a church official.

    Pedophiles should get the death penalty.

    Do you have the same level of disgust towards teachers? I mean, parents also entrust schools to take care of and protect their children, right? The left only seems to be concerned with religious leaders. Why is that?


    • “Of children in 8th through 11th grade, about 3.5 million students (nearly 7%) surveyed reported having had physical sexual contact from an adult (most often a teacher or coach). The type of physical contact ranged from unwanted touching of their body, all the way up to sexual intercourse.
    • This statistic increases to about 4.5 million children (10%) when it takes other types of sexual misconduct into consideration, such as being shown pornography or being subjected to sexually explicit language or exhibitionism.
    • Very often, other teachers “thought there might be something going on”, but were afraid to report a fellow educator if they were wrong. They didn’t want to be responsible for “ruining a person’s life,” although that is exactly what they are doing to the child if they don’t speak up, thus allowing the abuse to continue.”

    Sexual Abuse by Teachers is on the Rise

    Churches are one of the few places that have specific laws tailored so they do not have to report abuse. And there seems to be a major issue worldwide with religious institutions hiding pedophiles so they can hurt more children.

    But we know, it’s not a drag bar so all you people can come up with is “whatabout whatabout”

    Let us know when an entire district conspires to hide these individuals and then lobbies state and federal governments to decrease penalties for those crimes.

    At that point the whataboutism might be relevant.

    Anyone that sexually harms a child should be punished to the maximum extent of the law but it seems like only one group gets excuses made for them or sees people trying to deflect as you have so excellently done here.

    No religion is immune to these crimes.

    I do. The difference is the long history of covering up sex abuse of religious leaders at the highest level.

    If a school actively buried sexual abuse of children, there would be public outrage. When a church covers up the crime, people just ignore the coverup.

    Honest question for you, why should I or anyone waste their time proving anything to someone that has shown time and time again that no amount of sourcing or facts will be acknowledged?

    For the legitimate posters out there:
    Missouri, Illinois, 31 other states exempt clergy from reporting abuse

    This is incomprehensible and nonsensical. A church member molests your kid, you go to the cops. A drag queen story hour reader molests your kid, you go to the cops. A woke teacher molests your kid, you go the cops. This isn't rocket science.

    40% of the women and young girls trafficked into this country are raped or molested by coyotes. And have you seen the stories coming out of NYC about how young’s girls are being molested or beaten by the people who are here to improve our economy and lower our crime rate?

    It’s not just churches, it’s mosques (which the left never talks about) it’s Hollywood (again, never talked about) it’s teachers (yep, never talked about), it’s pro baseball players, etc. there are many sickos out there and the only ones the left ever wants to talk about are the people associated with Christianity.

    My opinion is find the sickos and if found guilty, then chemically castrate them or give them a freebie gender affirmation surgical procedure courtesy of Lorena Bobbit. You in? Remember, I said all of them.

    No, life without parole is fine. Too many innocent people get convicted over complete fiction for the death penalty to apply. For murder, at least there is a dead body.

    Imagine what they'd do to Trump - all the leftwing nuts coming out of the woodwork to claim Trump raped them at a Macy's . . .

    Ok, life without parole. Death penalty, upon presentation of DNA evidence.

    Except it isn’t. There are specific laws that allow churches not to have to do this. I have already posted the laws and a source. Feel free to review the thread and educate yourself.

    It's a loophole, not a law. You're very own source says it's a loophole...lol

    How is a written exemption and court case allowing said exemption a loophole?

    It’s telling that you are laughing about children being molested and people not having to report it because of their fairytales though. Telling indeed.

    If this thread was created to blast religious figures, then I apologize for this post because I’m not blasting a religious figure. If this thread was created to point out how some adults are attracted to minors, then read on.

    I just wish Republicans cared about children as much as they do drag queens. This thread is a who’s who of them making deflections away from their chosen religion.
