You Put Absolutely NO Thought Into This

RE: You Put Absolutely NO Thought Into This
Each faithful person brings their own morality to the biblical narrative and interprets it's stories in light of that.  

The divine command types read it and say "god said so, so it's good". 

Other, equally faithful people find ways to distance themselves from their own inherent sympathy "well, they must have deserved it somehow"

Yet another group throws their hand in the air in conceptual moral frustration, exclaiming "mysterious ways!"

Still more tell us that these particular stories were obviously just stories and aren't indicative of the actual character of their god, better expressed in the NT.

As regards to the OP phrase...they;ve put alot of thought into it, it;s more an issue of a lack of anything being produced from all that thought, aside from copious bullshit.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

But even if that were valid, it wouldn't make them an unbeliever. Just a believer who doesn't meet their minimum standard for being a Christian. Unless the molester in the particular instance was actually an unbeliever, of course.

That would take nuance, shades of grey in a black and white world, and actually make some sense. You're forgetting who we're talking about here, I fear.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

It takes zero thought to generate those platitudes. That's the point I was making.
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?

Why do you think he or any of us want to reach Christians? We're minding our own business here and you guys keep showing up.

What I meant was that Christians might pay more attention to what he says if he were to use decent language. He was laying down ground rules for Christians to follow, he can't win an argument with us so he want's to change the way we post so will admit to something we do not believe, he's crazy. This is an open forum, don't want us here close it off to us.

 Don't need one, Christians who know Christ as their savior wouldn't do such terrible things. Those priest who do, if they do not repent and accept Christ as their savior will find themselves in eternal punishment.

No doubt that they are christians when counting believers, but supposed christians when found diddling kids.

 They never were Christians, one who knows Christ as their savior would not do such things, period.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Must be that upstanding christian character we hear so much about.  Rape and pillage, so long as you say your pleases and thank yous.

Clipped a bunch of stuff, but I left your reply in. Priests repenting and accepting your particular brand of "lord and savior" is not enough. They must be brought before secular authority and tried and punished accordingly. Giving them a pass because they have "man of god" on their sleeves, so to speak, is entirely insufficient. The position of some sort of cleric in a religious institution does not absolve said cleric from the rule of law. This has gone on for far too long, and should be stopped.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

And people of this fuck-headed mentality should be stopped. Good luck with that one, too. Lot of phony Scotsmen in here today.

Sometimes the label on the box doesn't match what's on the inside. One time I bought a bag of chips and found a fried roach inside.
