Quote:A North Carolina church that is already under investigation for kidnapping a gay man and attempting to beat his homosexuality out of him is once again in the spotlight after it was revealed that church members have been importing worshipers from Brazil and turning them into slaves.

Meh, meanwhile at the Oval Out House while Covfefe spent a year shouting about a wall, an 18 wheeler found in a Texas Wall Mart parking lot was discovered to have a couple dozen DEAD migrants along with survivors, but I am sure Covfefe wont tell you that that truck most likely went through a legal boarder crossing, which is where most undocumented migrants cross.

Silly fool. That's what 'god' does best.

There's always more going on in the world than just retarded Trump. Get used to it.

No shit Sherlock, but who do you think that fuckface pandered to to win? Same types in the story in the OP. Do you want progress or do you want to backslide and look like the Christian version of the middle east?
These idiots vote and as long as they do, and as long as idiots like Covfefe pander to them for votes, I think it is perfectly reasonable to bring that orange asshat up.

CBS Evening News noted the driver of the truck could well be eligible for Texas' death penalty.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

While the anger is understandable, even in this case, trafficers don't intend to kill anyone. they want you to make it so when you do get a job hey can bilk you like a slave. Otherwise Bush should be on death row for all the civilian deaths he caused in Iraq sold on lies. I am not fond of the death penalty in any case regardless. The driver should be locked up for life, but killing him will not bring the dead back.
The driver was most likely desperate for a better life just like the passengers that died. No, he does not deserve the same sympathy as those who died. But the motive to make ends meet is the same. One was done out of greed, the other, the passengers was done out of survival. But both are still about survival.
It is the same as the San Francisco fire. The owners may have felt they were providing cheap living and making money at the same time. I think climate and conditions not individuals set the stage for both the criminal and the desperate to go their respective routs.
The truck driver most certainly deserves punishment. But long term, class issues and economics as far as pay gap have to be addressed, otherwise both perp and victim will will take dangerous short cuts.

Doesn't the bible teach that there are inferior nations that should be enslaved? Stop impinging on their religious freedom.

Silly fool. That's what 'god' does best.
And you know these poor bastards are just going to go on believing in the same god as their tormentors, ignoring the very parts of the scripture used to justify what was done to them. How the fuck is that even a question, do they not read their fucking bibles in other countries either?
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.

The funny thing about that was that it was the jews who normally ended up on the wrong end of the whip. You'd have thought the assholes would have caught on but there was always some fucking priest around to tell them it was their fault because they pissed off yhwh or some such nonsense.
They should have spent more time listening to Thucydides than this yhwh horseshitter.
