Quote:The boy's mother said she wasn't with him when he gave that confession. She says he is innocent. Her son likes music and dancing. He sings in the church choir. He's been to this courthouse before to face charges of disorderly conduct, but he's devoted his life to Jesus Christ, she said.
"He's a good child," she said.
Just how bad of an influence is jesus on a kid? Was this boy contemplating going into the priesthood but just kinda had a thing for older men instead of boys?
Roll-up for the circus-insanicus. Come see us throw a lion to the Christians.
If we are all so quick to judge him then doesn't that make us as bad as those rock-lobbing loons who claim to know the truth when god points it out?
He is innocent until proven guilty by a judge and jury, and that needs to be the case lest we descend into some bizarre parody of Xtian savagery.

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
