Christian are full of shit

[Anon2381]

I got a call from my dad today with some bad news about a pastor he mentored and loves. He let me know that his dear friend has turned himself in for sexually assaulting his 12 year old relative on several accounts. His wife, who is turning to god for help, caught him. He is in his 40's and there is no excuse for him to be working with kids if these are his desires. Gossip travels quick in the christian bubble and everyone is shocked and devastated. Sure its weird to hear that a guy I knew and admired did a shameful cruel thing, but id be more shocked if he wasnt christian. Sadly, I've seen so much of this throughout my decades in the church. Two of my youth pastors married girls they met as kids in their Sunday school class. I think its important  for christians to recognize is that god doesnt help or stop you from doing bad shit. When you pretend he does then shit really does happen.

Putting yourself forward as gods moral compass for the community can certainly come back to bite you in the ass.

More often than not is my impression...

I mean if you are trusted bu your community, e.g. "a man of god couldn't do harm", the easier you can gain access to kids. and Parents let their guard down because a priest/pastor/imam/whatever the fuck he is be alone with their child, because they are clearly more moral beings, by authority.

When I was a little child playing with hot wheels and talking rocks, I learned that preachers can get away with anything, because the god is merciful, he forgives, and if you say anything, nobody will believe you. I didn't think of trying my chances. I just believed that. When I was a grown adult with issues and toxic patterns always deverting my life from where it could be better, I learned he died a slow and painful death by an unforgiving disease. I stood there waiting for the glee to kick in. I waited for that feeling of ah hah! Take that you piece of shit! But instead I thought of his daughter. I wondered if she was ok. His wife turned to prayer? To prayer? To the god that didn't step in to stop the sexual assault, because free fucking will and stuff? To that same god who cared more about his free will than her safety and future? Than her future relationship fails, her sleepless nights, her bad habits, her lack of self esteem, her distrust, her mind fucking guilt trips and sabotage that can stand in the way of normal? Damn right Christians are full of shit. I know many mean well. I get it. I make myself remember I was a Christian years ago. I get it, but... fuck.

Worst part? That kid may grow up still having faith, because brainwashing. The kid will pray, too, and when the god doesn't answer, she might think it's her fault.

Yeah, I don't find it surprising at all when I hear of religious leaders messing with kids. They're horribly repressed, and have a feeling of power, and possibly have been violated themselves in the past. I don't know what the wife thinks prayer is going to accomplish here. Their god certainly didn't answer their daughter's prayers, if it happened more than once.

'God' doesn't do much of anything, my dear.  Except provide a lucrative scam for these holy joes who can't keep it in their pants.

I'd love to hear Drich comment. Seems like he might have all the answers

Exactly. Thats why the idea of god makes zero sense. Some rich woman in Beverly Hills is praying to get the ketchup stain out of her blouse while a kid is begging god to stop this man from hurting her. God gets the ketchup stain out and is praised while this girl continues to suffer with unanswered prayer. God is an ass if he's real.

Jack,
Your so right. Your so right about how the pain of that child will continue to affect her throughout her life. 
People need to speak up when they hear or see these things happening. On the other forum I'm on a girl told how she was molested by her uncle at 7 and told her mother. Her mother did nothing! Thats the part that breaks my heart. Leaving her to feel the shame for her uncles abuse. Its sooo fucked up

You'd love to hear drich comment? You'll just have to wait and see. I can't watch and stay cool, though.

If Drich is really in fellowship with other christians I'm sure he knows a few of these hypocrites. Maybe deep down Drich has a big heart and want to stop the madness. I think probably not, but if he has the cahunas he'd say something.
