It IS when religious people claim that god told them to kill their children that we should be focused on the negative aspects of religious belief.

How do we know she is religious, as oppose to merely electing to appear religious to get that bullshit job that require no real skills of any significant kind?

Oh, Religion teacher. Missed that the first time. Excuse my confusing post.

By all means, she is clearly a disturbed woman.

Oh dear God in heaven, what a fucking nightmare.

Coincidentally, of the 3 Sunday school teachers I recall, one is still alive (no mean feat, I was a lad in the 60s) and I'm friendly with her.  She was relatively nice, but teaching children wasn't her strong suit.

I ran into the Sunday school superintendent (my those Methodists were organized) from back then recently and recognized her.  I mentioned to her I still have my bible I was presented she had signed on the inside.  I didn't tell her to what purpose I'm putting it too these days, although my KJV 1611 is far more useful, the Methodist one is a crappy NIV.

I recall the sup and my mom not getting along very well.  Additionally, the sup tangled with a family member of mine  over the sups execrable treatment of her mother when she was in a care facility.  The mother went to the hospital for a few days and when she returned to the nursing home, her daughter (the sup) had cleaned out her room in anticipation of her demise.  And then was slow to bring anything back.

The bitch . . . .

Maybe, but what did she do that is actually illegal?  Let people smoke pot?

It's not like legality is the only metric here.

And what else ought to be?

Lucky, lucky bastards.

She's a woman.

Seriously, if that had been a man, I guarantee you he would be in jail right now, labeled as a sex offender for life.

This is why I don't take most feminists seriously. They want equal benefits for the same work as men, but they balk at the idea of sharing equal punishments for the same crime.

What about the daughters boyfriend?

Sounds like rape to me.

One could read your post as saying that society has some kind of deal going where women are getting less pay and in return get lesser punishments, and that women don't have the right to demand equal pay as long as the other issues are the way they are. I hope that's not what you mean. But then, what is your point?

Was she sentenced by feminists? Of course there is inherent sexism in our society when it comes to sex offenders - just as many other issues - but what does feminism have to do with it?
