Blows the mind.

I’d put money on him wanting the US to be a theocracy so people like him can run the show as well.

[Phil1111 1,138]

Here I thought this was about the baptists. Who maintained a database about sexual predators within their church. Which they kept hidden. Then the vilified and attacked victims. All while doing this over two decades.

"a few senior leaders on the church's executive committee as having control over its response to the reports of abuse and of being "singularly focused on avoiding liability for the SBC".

These officials reportedly "protected or even supported alleged abusers", the report says.

Calls and emails from survivors or other concerned Southern Baptists would be "ignored, disbelieved, or met with the constant refrain that the SBC could take no action" because of how the church functions, the report states.

The document also discloses for the first time that the executive committee maintained a list of its ministers who were facing abuse allegations but - in spite of calls for a public database - kept its findings secret."

Ho hum, more corruption in a religious group that seeks power. As the largest evangelical group in the US who endorsed, supported trump. It debates CRT at every convention as if they can't decide if racism is acceptable.

God made young girls attractive to preachers for a reason. It’s not always their fault that they make mistakes sometimes. The church must be protected, ask any bishop.

And after he admitted his "sin" of statutory rape - his congregation gave him a standing ovation.

Well, if you deny evolution you have to invent another explanation.

"Statutory" means it's not really rape, right?

No, silly.

It means 'man's law, not God's law'.

That makes it ok for 'men of God' to do it.

We really need a 'sarcasm' font on here.

Oh, thank you for clarifying that.

When it comes to protecting abusers, the largest American Protestant denomination is in the same vile category as the Catholic Church

 

But abortion  - rather like "but her emails".
