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?
Oh my God, somebody gave an example! Quick, let’s call it a whataboutism!
My point is that ALL religions are used as an excuse for any abuse and torture and warfare and the most sadistic acts possible.
ALL religions are evil.
How is that for whatabout?
If you don’t want to be called out for using whataboutisms then don’t use whataboutisms. Don’t piss and moan because you were called out, it’s pathetic.
I’m missing the part where you understand it’s not a whataboutism as I just said, because they are ALL evil. Whataboutism doesn’t work when referring to ALL options
Stop whinging.
I said something, you said whatabout something else. That’s the literal definition of whataboutism.
Being called our and whinging then doubling down and whinging more is pathetic.
Okay, I’ll be the one trying to be reasonable.
My single point is that this happens in all religions, not just Christianity. This is not to defend Christianity, this is to say it’s everywhere. If extending that little circle you made to be bigger is whataboutism in your mind then please stay out of any discussions in real life because nobody will be able to say anything without you going “whataboutism!!!”
This is not “what about Muslims”, Muslims were taken as an example, i might just as well have gone for hindi or any religion
The only religions I’ve found that don’t suck are mock religions like FSM and the satanists.
Whataboutisms are also used to distract from the point, distract from the target, to protect the target. I’m not trying to distract you from the target; fuck Christianity, all of it. I’m literally just saying that it’s much bigger than the specific group you setup.
If you still don’t get that, then I don’t know what to tell ya, buddy.
Also, if you feel bthe other side is whining then maybe you should stop responding as your response is then just whining back
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.
There is always abuse
Be it physical, sexual, psychological, or just by the way of control (because that too is what all religions are about), there is always abuse
What I’m talking about is a folk belief system that overlaps with theology, wherein the difference between culture, tradition, and what we call religion are so intermixed and overlapped that they are effectively inseperable.
The situation I am talking about is one wherein there is no religious control because there is no structure to control it with, wherein theological debate is not between priests but between kinsmen who are at worst separated by eldership. In such a situation the abuse is an outcropping of culture not religion, or at least is about as secular as you can get with such folk beliefs present.
Sorry I recently read an article going over pre Christian anamistic beliefs in Europe and it melted my brain. There is no religion just culture and traditions in such society.
Every. Single. Time.
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 ones you most suspect.
Well, they really are constantly thinking of the children…

It’s always the people you most suspect.
Oh, wow. I’m so shocked I could power a dim bulb for about two seconds.
Hey once again, not a trans person, but a white Christian male.

These are the people having sweet dreams about a Gilead-like society every night
Love thy neighbor, no matter the age.
Anyone even remotely surprised?
then hes not christian
At this point, if you’re a Christian it’s not unfair to just assume that you’re a pedophile
Same applies to all other religions, it’s not as if this isn’t happening in, say, Muslim or Hindu circles
Gotta love religions
You gotta like technology to nab these sick bastards. Throw the damn key away when he walks into his cell.
Nah, just tell everyone in the cell block that a kiddie diddler just checked in.
LOL! The turd will delight Bubba.
