Another reason to abandon the abrahamic religions

Another reason to abandon the abrahamic religions
THE CHILD-RAPE ASSEMBLY LINE
IN RITUAL BATHHOUSES OF THE JEWISH ORTHODOXY, CHILDREN ARE SYSTEMATICALLY ABUSED
By Christopher Ketcham


http://www.vice.com/read/the-child-rape-...141-v20n11

Quote:On a visit to Jerusalem in 2005, Rabbi Rosenberg entered into a mikvah in one of the holiest neighborhoods in the city, Mea She’arim. “I opened a door that entered into a schvitz,” he told me. “Vapors everywhere, I can barely see. My eyes adjust, and I see an old man, my age, long white beard, a holy-looking man, sitting in the vapors. On his lap, facing away from him, is a boy, maybe seven years old. And the old man is having anal sex with this boy.”

Rabbi Rosenberg paused, gathered himself, and went on: “This boy was speared on the man like an animal, like a pig, and the boy was saying nothing. But on his face—fear. The old man [looked at me] without any fear, as if this was common practice. He didn’t stop. I was so angry, I confronted him. He removed the boy from his penis, and I took the boy aside. I told this man, ‘It’s a sin before God, a mishkovzucher. What are you doing to this boy’s soul? You’re destroying this boy!’ He had a sponge on a stick to clean his back, and he hit me across the face with it. ‘How dare you interrupt me!’ he said. I had heard of these things for a long time, but now I had seen.”

The child sex abuse crisis in ultra-Orthodox Judaism, like that in the Catholic Church, has produced its share of shocking headlines in recent years. In New York, and in the prominent Orthodox communities of Israel and London, allegations of child molestation and rape have been rampant. The alleged abusers are schoolteachers, rabbis, fathers, uncles—figures of male authority. The victims, like those of Catholic priests, are mostly boys. Rabbi Rosenberg believes around half of young males in Brooklyn’s Hasidic community—the largest in the United States and one of the largest in the world—have been victims of sexual assault perpetrated by their elders. Ben Hirsch, director of Survivors for Justice, a Brooklyn organization that advocates for Orthodox sex abuse victims, thinks the real number is higher. “From anecdotal evidence, we’re looking at over 50 percent. It has almost become a rite of passage.”

This makes me angry and sad, both deeply and strongly. My son is seven. I'd die before I let anything happen to him. These people deserve eternal punishment. If only hell was real... [/quote]

The thing that pisses me and Zen off the most is that the whistle blower is vilified by his community for exposing these disgusting wannabe "leaders of their community" for the crimes they have committed! Talk about religion controlling the masses! Shake Fist

If it was me the offending Rabbi might find himself missing a few body parts. Best case scenario.

What else would you expect from a group of people who see life as nothing but a pit stop before the eternal real deal? They might not like it, but what does it matter? Heaven's for eternity, not rocking the boat is the way to heaven, and therefore... eh.

Fucking disgusting, is what it is. The whole place should be arrested; everyone involved, everyone who knew and said nothing, every last fucking sod among them.

I utterly fail to comprehend the pleasure from sticking your dick in a 7 year-old boy's ass.
Not that I've tried it, but, as father of 3 boys, the middle one being now 7, I can't even imagine how that works, much less that any pleasure can come from it...
Don't these people have wives/partners who should take care of those needs?

Wives that are systematically taught that their bodies are evil, that sex is sinful, and that they shouldn't enjoy it. I rather think that contributes to the problem.

I seriously doubt that those 7 year olds are enjoying it...

Holy shit, that was totally not what I meant!

What I meant was that the wives have some form of autonomy and power, while those poor children are not only in a position of physical weakness around those fucking criminals, but also mental and spiritual; children are told to obey adults, and what adult is more important to obey than the one that determines your standing with god?

It's preying on the lowest hanging fruit, was my point.

aye... but women, around there, aren't that much higher.
"mental and spiritual".... "systematically taught that their bodies are evil, that sex is sinful, and that they shouldn't enjoy it"
Wives, obey your husband, blah ,blah, blah.. ring a bell?

I don't really know what we're arguing about anymore. Tongue

I mean, we both agree!
