Quote:Did Brady have the same authority as any ordinary member of the public to alert the police and the parents of the victims? Was his moral courage so weak that he sat on his hands while in full knowledge that such crimes were going on? Either way, Brady has demonstrated by his inaction and his "only obeying orders" attitude that he has no business being in the job. Revenge be damned.
One of the reasons I detest discussing any topic related to child abuse/molestation is that the secular side is far too emotional, irrational and illogical.
When a child is involved they are ready to lynch anyone and everyone remotely connected to the alledged crime and toss out the rules of the leagl system without nary a thought nor care.
They do not know all the facts yet talk like they do. They do not know the whole story yet think their eisegetical input replaces such facts.
in reality, those not involved in the alledged crime do not have a clue as to what they are talking about and do more damge than good.
Quote:Oh, it's easy to throw around the biblespam when you're not the victim, isn't it? When it's not your arse and your childhood innocence on the receiving end? Well, whatever helps you sleep at night I suppose. I wonder what choice bits of biblespam Brendan Smyth and his fellow child-rapists use to justify their crimes to themselves and help them sleep at night?
You assume far too much. it doesn't matter if my rear end was involved or not, the Biblical instructions apply to all, even victims of crimes.
Wouldn't know what they did to justify their deeds. i wasn't there nor were you.
Quote:So these priests are not of God (sorry... are NOT of God)? How convenient! Wonder if they mentioned that when pocketing their salaries, that they're being paid for a job for which they're not entitled?
You've never heard of 'wolves in sheep's clothing'? or false teachers?
Quote:And what about Brady? By sitting and doing nothing about a crime which he knew had happened, and for all he knew was still happening, he is as guilty as the rapist priest himself; if not more so.
Were you present with him during this time? How do you know he did nothing? it is a good thing the world doesn't have to meet your ideas of responsibility, nothing would ever get done and too many innocent people would be hurt.
like I said, when a child is involved observers throw all sanity out the window and rely on emotion. You are part of the problem not part of the solution.
