There was a thread attempting to make fun of a religious group for opposing Harvey Milk's image (who was gay) being put on a stamp, come to find out, he was having sex with an underage boy.... Whoops! When this was pointed out, quite a few atheists began making excuses for the behavior, none would admit what he did was wrong.
Yet they all jump on the bandwagon when it come to criticizing Catholic priests.
I'm not Catholic ( I don't belong to any organization) nor do I agree with Catholic doctrine, I just point out hypocrisy when I see it.
1) I'd never heard of Harvey Milk.
2) Now I've researched about him I've found out the person he had sex with was 16 which is underage in some places but not where I live and I personally don't see anything wrong with it as long as the person was willingly having sex.
3) The person was willingly having sex with him.
4) I do find sex between a man and another man disgusting no matter what the age difference is but me finding something disgusting doesn't make it wrong.
5) Most of the catholic priest stories I've heard about involving sexual contact with underage people involved people who were much younger than 16 and not having sex willingly.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
