Name an industry that if they had this many child sexual predators, wouldn't be immediately shut down and banned from operating ever again.
Seriously. Can you imagine if, say, NASA had the same ratio of child sexual predators as Christian churches do? Or Applebee's? Or Jiffy Lube? They'd all have to close up shop. Hell, there's a daycare in my town that was in business for 30 years, and a teacher got busted for diddling a kid. That place was done for THAT WEEK. Doors closed, never opened again. Probably tens of thousands of kids came through that place just fine, but all it took was ONE, and they were kaput.
These fucking churches need to be shut the fuck down. Those black metal guys in the 90s had the right idea.
Varg Vikernes. What a dingus. But yeah 👍🏻
Was it him burning down all the churches? I totally forgot who was involved... Damn. Yeah he's an idiot. But I still support the action.
Hate the doofus, appreciate the iconoclasm. Words to live by. Stick ‘em on a coffee mug and throw it through some stained glass 🤣

Always the ones you most suspect.
Time for a presidential pardon?
No way.
He's gonna need a new child sex crimes advisor
Only the best charlatans work for co-president Tbag! Praise jebus, as well as all the tots and pears for another pastor caught diddling kids.
I attended this church growing up, it taught me some important lessons.
Like, religion is a sham and people are hopelessly indoctrinated.
And, as Carlin put it, “God needs mooooonnneeeeyyyhhh!”.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO--klahoma is where Robert Morris did sex crimes 🎶
Well they do always claim to love children
Few, if any, were more high-profile than Morris, who steadily involved himself in state and national politics after founding Gateway in 2000. In 2017, Morris was tapped by Gov. Greg Abbott to help support the so-called “Bathroom Bill” that sought to ban transgender people from using their preferred bathroom — in part by arguing that it would allow children to be sexually abused.

Wow, the GOP actually hired an expert with hands on experience in child sexual abuse. Thats and unusual departure from their regular practice of inexperienced and unqualified people put in positions to decide legislation.

Shocker
This is my surprise face: (・―・)
“Few, if any, were more high-profile than Morris, who steadily involved himself in state and national politics after founding Gateway in 2000”
The 90’s nerd in me did a huge double take when I read Gateway 2000
Me too!
Why is it always the church? That's rhetorical by the way. Fuck organized religion that makes everyone bend the knee.
Because “the church” only ever attract megalomaniacal fantasists who are prone to abuse their power.
Amen

Another creep that hangs out with Epstein's best friend? Not surprising.
