        Or rock music, or Dungeon & Dragons, or Anime… same shit, different generation. They are kings of scapegoats.

      It’s almost as if prejudice against groups doesn’t need facts to back it up!

    Morris told the Christian Post he received counseling and had since “walked in purity and accountability in this area”.

    It kind of seems like accountability for that should involve a criminal record.

      When people try eating the rich, they can at least follow up with “walking in purity and accountability” after. It might just help.

      “… in this area” seems like weasel words. Oh, and in what areas have you not “walked in purity and accountability?”

    There’s no way in fuck this guy “didn’t know she was 12 at the time.” People who are in college even look underage to me now and this guy raped a prepubescent non-teen

    It’s always the people you must suspect. I mean, seriously, the guy legit looks like a sexual abuser.

        One admitted it, and one has been convicted of it, so both.

    At this point it feels like a history of sexual abuse is REQUIRED to be involved in the Conservative parts of “Christiandom”.

    “In March of 1987, this situation was brought to light, and it was confessed and repented of. I submitted myself to the Elders of Shady Grove Church and the young lady’s father. They asked me to step out of ministry and receive counseling and freedom ministry, which I did.”

    What the fuck

    Like, what in the actual fuck

    “People found out I raped a child but her dad said it was kinda chill”

      Turning him in would have meant harming the church, and we can’t have that. It’s a key component of the illusion.
