    I automatically assume all hyper religious public figures are either pedophiles, are with a group that turns out to have a history of abuse, or are covering for pedos.

    I had a “Christian” ask me why I don’t rape and kill people if I don’t believe in god……I said “because I don’t want to to do anything like that and if this world is the only world wouldn’t I want to make it as good as possible starting with my own actions” I think about that conversation a lot lately and it is deeply concerning

      I like Penn Gillette’s response to this question which is just as good:

      “I’ve raped and killed all the people I’ve wanted to.”

    Why are we not talking about how this child predator fuck is only going to serve 6 months of a 10 year sentence?

      Oh good. I don’t have to worry about Dolly Parton, or Mr Rodgers.

      I feel like my world view would be crushed if I ever saw a legitimate claim against either of them.

    I am very positively surprised that the prosecutors in Oklahoma didn’t let this drop. The temptation might have been huge: the statute of limitations had long expired and they revived the case with an old law that pauses the clock on the statute.

    This guy is still trying to get his huge pension back. After ruining a child’s life.

      The statute of limitations didn’t expire, which is detailed in the article. He left the state so the statute of limitations freezes

    Gateway to pedophilia.

    Gateway to childhood trauma.

    And ofc the Pedo-in-Chief protects his own ilk (until he needs to trash them to make himself look good or to keep himself out of trouble)

    Anyone surprised by this? The people screaming about immorality are ALWAYS those engaged deepest in it.

    Was this the one that said it happened a long time ago and everyone prayed about it? I didn’t realize he had the largest church in America.
