teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries.

Chewed Gum: Trailer for a documentary exposing Mormonism's silencing of sexual assault victims. We also find out that Utah has the highest rate of raped women.

As they say: don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
Quote:Dean of St Mary's Cathedral took own life after historical allegation
A Catholic priest hanged himself days after learning a historical "allegation" against him had been made to police, a coroner has found.
Canon Michael McCoy, who was 57, was found dead at an apartment in Newcastle on 10 April last year.
A "very brief account" was obtained from the complainant on 4 April and the priest was visited by officers on 6 April and told that a historical allegation had been made against him, and that he would be invited for a voluntary interview.
Det Sgt Julie Beattie, of Northumbria Police's child and adult protection department, said Canon McCoy was "upset" but said he would seek support from friends and colleagues, and no concerns were raised about his wellbeing.
Ms Richardson told Canon McCoy the diocese would look at alternative accommodation for him as "normally in these circumstances it's inappropriate for the priest to remain in that setting".
She said that did not need to happen in the coming days but he contacted her on 8 April to say he "couldn't stay in the cathedral any longer".
"He felt everybody knew and it was an impossible position," she said.
"He was in the cathedral but wasn't able to be involved in ministry - he found this upsetting and didn't feel he could stay."

We haven't sinned. Sorry about your theological problems. And electronic stones being thrown?

California Catholic bishops ask Supreme Court to stop child rape victims from suing them. The bishops claim CA's statute of limitations for child rape cases favors victims too much. Rape victims shoot back: This is "a slap in the face to the thousands of victims seeking solace and justice"

When the religious claim to be the moral authority in the community and then commit 'perversions', it's the epitome of absurd. Stones should be thrown.

No atheist ever pinned a choir boy to the floor and anally raped him, while whispering "God sez it' s ok" in his ear.....
I sleep just fine.

Sleep well :-) I slept like a baby last night. Thanks for asking.

Of course we can cast the first stone.
If timed correctly, we can cast the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, too.
Though the first is usually sufficient if cast accurately.
Oh, and I slept like a Catholic priest after an altar-boy orgy.
