    If Christ plans on returning, He’d better come back with, like, a tank. Gonna have to do some house cleaning.

      sauvageUgh.

      Ugh indeed. I am very aware of the fact that people commit atrocious acts in the name of some entity called “God”. The added atrocity of slapping the “God” label on top of atrocities, or hiding behind said label in this case, still gets me every time. Becoming a so-called man of god because that makes it easier for them to prey on the vulnerable is just... another level of evil.

      (I’m not religious. At all. Still offended.)

      I’m pretty sure it’s going to be a helicarrier named “The Rapture” loaded with nukes.

    How do you get your mind to a place where you not only are raping a child, but then you call a couple of buddies over? Like, what’s the conversation? I don’t know that life in prison is a sufficient response.

      That’s the intersection of pedophilia and “ain’t no fun if the homeys can’t have none” rape culture. These dudes grew up on rape culture and continued it into adulthood, having honed the crafts of victim identification and manipulation.

    So at the bottom is a 15 minute video of Butler apologizing. For anything he may have done to offend his friends. Even if it wasn’t on purpose. At the very end, he apologizes to his wife, the love of his life.

    He never apologizes to the child he raped.

      He’s proven trash. So, this is the typical apology abusers give when they’ve been caught. He’s not sorry for rape. He doesn’t even think he raped her. In his mind, he merely coerced her and she willingly went along with it. Also, from his perspective, she’s 14 and “looked grown”. So, she was going to have sex eventually anyway. Again, this all exemplifies rape culture.

    Monsters In The Pulpit. If their congregations had any sense, they’d change the locks on the church(es)

    SMH how disgusting. So you can’t just be a pimp or rapist or pedophile; you hide behind God and misuse His name to do it? Headed to Hell on the express wearing charcoal jewels and gas-soaked briefs...

      I think some of it depends on the age and the education of the congregation. Anybody with the Gift of Gab can learn to preach the old style.

      That’s true but irrelevant to me. We each know when we’re doing wrong. It doesn’ matter who’s gullible or easier to manipulate. The willful intention to mistreat others-whether the b.s. works on 5 people or 500, is a sin in and of itself. It’s like the teachers and countless other ADULTS who take advantage of mature looking and sexually-curious but underaged kids. They may have been horny kids but to engage in sex acts with them is still wrong. WRONG IS WRONG.

    Remember when teen Jesus opened up a truck-load of whoop-ass when he saw foul shit in the temple? I can’t find the words to describe the reckoning owed in this instance. There’s not a place in hell hot enough for these fuckers.

    This kind of shit got me out of the church in the first place. It’s always the “moral authority” that are embroiled in the most heinous acts. If hypocrisy was gasoline, they’d burn longer than 1000 suns.

    I think I understand why someone would torture another person now.

      Smiting would make a comeback. Not a lot in the New Testament, but the Old Testament had smiting aplenty.

    See, another reason to stay home on Sundays.

    One would be better off getting up and getting comfortable, putting on some uplifting music or reading a book that uplifts them and donating their tithe monies to the local food bank, school or some charity where one needs it. If that pastor needs a new car, let him/her buy it.

    First, people need to stop being stupid. Second, WATCH YOUR DAMN KIDS!

    My mom and all the other moms in the neighborhood knew where we were 24/7, whom we were with and what we were doing.

    If the parents or guardians had been there and not so trusting with this religious pimping pervert, this wouldn’t have happened. I hope they go to jail for a long time.

    Just watched ‘Spotlight,’ an excellent — and heart-breaking — movie about the Catholic church’s cover-up and complicity in allowing priests to continue working in Boston-area communities even after they were accused of sexually assaulting multiple children. This story reminds me of the disgust I felt while watching that movie.

    There is something unspeakably heinous about men who use their power and authority to take advantage of young people. It is even more abhorrent when the abuser is able to claim some type of religious authority. Those children who came forward are incredibly brave.
