The Republican party is not a monolith guys, it’s made up of several distinct groups such as child rapists and child rapist enablers.

Christian fundamentalists includes
- catholice church ran an industrial scale child raping, torture and incitement to suicide (by the church leadership, to avoid paying compensation) of their victims even after the raping priest has been imprisoned.
suicides(en.wikipedia.org/…/Catholic_Church_sex_abuse_case…
“Church officials followed a “playbook for concealing the truth”, minimizing the abuse by using words like “inappropriate contact” instead of “rape”.”
And that’s with a head buried in the sand approach that US authorities take with religion ie it has to be so blatant and undeniable before they’ll investigate.
However from Ireland to Australia in those two countries alone the Catholics abused tens of thousands of children. There are as many or more cases in the US and yet its clear the authorities are happy to pretend otherwise.
Worse the abuse and active protection and cover up went to the Cardinals themselves, both Cardinal Pell and Clancy were rapists and rape protectors.
Southern Baptist Churches
SBC’s executive committee, detailing that SBC leaders had stonewalled and disparaged clergy sex abuse survivors for nearly two decades. It also listed the named cases that involved the admission, confession, guilty plea, conviction, judgement, sentencing and registered sex offenders. It did not include cases that did not relate to sexual abuse nor cases that ended in acquittal. The report listed more than 700 entries within the parameters

The leadership of religiious organisation are devoid of the moral and ethical leadership their organisations claim is a God given.
It is little surprise they are happily refusing to mount any meaningful protests against the Trump regime.
Shit the the closest I’ve seen religious organizations protests the Trump regime was the grassroots spontaneous protest of various clergy in the Minneapolis to stop airlines from running ice deporting/transfer flights.

I honestly believe that the Catholic Church has been operating an intergenerational homosexual trafficking ring for centuries. Most, perhaps all, of the molesting priests were probably molested by priests themselves when they were very young, and like many abuse victims, grew up to be abusers themselves, using the same vehicle as their abusers - the Catholic Church itself.
That’s why the Church has always excused it and covered it up: it’s literally a long-standing tradition, and a major recruiting strategy. You wouldn’t have nearly as many priests if your only draw was celibacy.

Pedophilia has always been a part of Christianity. Mary was 13 when she gave birth to Jesus. Joesph was in his 70s. It’s the basis of the religion. At least Christianity tries to hide it by pretending that she was virgin and her child was actually from god. That’s better than, say, islam, where mohammad just outright marries Aisha when was 6 years old and pretended that allah told him its halal.
Cruel@programming.dev 3 hours ago
It’s very unlikely Joseph was in his 70s. Neither of their ages are mentioned. Common estimates for Mary are 13-14, and Joseph being in late teens or early 20s.
courval@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
I had a Catholic education and it’s the first time I’ve heard this about Mary’s age, are those ages actually in the scriptures/Koran?
Urist@leminal.space 3 hours ago
I don’t know anything about Mary in the Bible but yes Aisha was definitely 6 when she was married according to the Koran, Muslims don’t deny it. They just do a bunch of mental gymnastics to explain how that’s somehow okay. Usually involving the fact that he waited until she was 9 to consummate the marriage, how noble and considerate.

Yes, but Marry technically didn’t get diddled.

That doesn’t make any sense. Morality is not something that was given by Gods, but something we have invented.
justme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 hours ago
Morality and legislation used to be entirely justified by being the word of God. Not that long ago (enlightenment) we started making those decisions based on what we think is a good idea. That’s basically what Nietzsche was talking about when saying “good is dead”, he didn’t mean that literally…

Ok, so what is the current canon?
I don’t think the new testament includes child diddling, but I didn’t read much of that either.
Probably because I lost faith quite some time ago.

I don’t think the Bible talks about child brides. Without that, none of those are related to pedophilia…

Instead of taking his virgin daughters, the mob wanted the men (angels). Pretty demoralizing for his daughters. Lot’s daughter may be the first recorded femcels, which would explain their desperate attempt at getting pregnant by their father.

Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

Numbers is good but for the very best ultra-violence I suggest Deuteronomy
Deut. 21:18-21
18 If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19 his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20 They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” 21 Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death.

At first I though this wasn’t a shitpost.
Then I thought shitposts have evolved into what would previously have been called cutting, brilliant satire. Then I thought that fascists killed satire, and this is just straight-up news.
Finally I realized this is indeed a shitpost and should have just thought “Yeah, heh.” And be done with it.

"Well God can use ‘imperfect people’. Just look at King David."
How that story actually went…
David: Has an affair with Bathsheba and has her husband assassinated.
God: “Listen here you little shit. I gave you everything you could ever want and you decided that wasn’t enough. I’m feeling merciful so I won’t kill you like you killed Uriah. Instead, you can spend the rest of your miserable life suffering the consequences of your evil deeds.”

Yes, instead he tortures David’s innocent child yo death for a week for David’s crime. And no punishment at all for the 200 philistine foreskins or any other of David’s immoral behaviour

How old do you think the Virgin Mary was?
Cruel@programming.dev 3 hours ago
She was pubescent, and thus irrelevant to pedophilia.
doingthestuff@lemy.lol 16 hours ago
Old enough to be considered a woman, but culturally it could have been as young as 16.
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! (Luke 1:41-42)
Rhaedas@fedia.io 16 hours ago
There wasn't consent though. It can be spun that way, but biblically Mary was destined to carry, and screw any free will.
DarkCloud@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
Could have been as young as 13, as Virgin generally meant not ready for sex yet.
