Somebody should probably investigate this guy for raping kids.

Just saying,

"I know if I carry around my pocket ten commandments at all times, it stops me from sticking my old sweaty semi-hard cock into every sweet virgin 10 year old butthole I can get my hands on. So you should display them everywhere I may be in contact with kids, just in case I misplace my wallet." - This Guy, Probably

Such a fucking vile thing to read while starting my morning

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey 7 points 5 months ago

Sorry about that. It was vile to write, too. But it illustrates how vile someone has to be to think that the only thing stopping child rape is reminding them that "it's against the rules", which.... it's also not against their rules, either. No commandment says anything at all about rape or pedophilia, which is just wild. But don't worry, they got the one about not making any idols/"graven images", so... the day is saved. In fact, both rape and pedophilia are often completely condoned in the Bible, at least under certain circumstances. So, yeah, I don't get this guys logic even a little.

i bet he has very specific types of media on his drives.

[–] FuglyDuck 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I feel sorry for the intern that has to document that.

[–] jordanlund 113 points 5 months ago

Because that works so well in Churches? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 66 points 5 months ago (2 children)

This guy definitely assaulted a child in his life

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

At the very least he knows the age of consent in every jurisdiction.

[–] afraid_of_zombies 9 points 5 months ago

Oh most def.

[–] Lemminary 64 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Makes sense. It has definitively stopped child abuse in churches! Oh, wait.

I dare say he’s already breaking one of the ten: that of bearing false witness, by claiming in the general sense that teachers are raping kids, when he knows it’s not true.

[–] barsquid 50 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The Ten Commandments don't even stop priests from raping children.

[–] dessimbelackis 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

There’s nothing in the Ten Commandments about not raping people period.

It hasn't stopped preachers from raping kids even though the ten commandments are in churches.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 5 months ago

Let me tell you what happened to a classmate of mine when we were in ~ 6th grade at Catholic school…..

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey 39 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Beside the idiocy of thinking that the mere displaying of the Ten Commandments automatically makes the property in question somehow more righteous, more moral, or just generally safer for children... you do know that the Ten Commandments, notably and infamously, do not have any commandment forbidding rape OR pedophilia. And, in fact, the Bible seems to be generally fine with those things at least under certain situations, so...

Honestly, probably helps explain all that child raping going on in churches. Nobody wrote down that they couldn't.

[–] pyre 9 points 5 months ago (2 children)

that's one hell of a parallel universe airbud scene

"it says a man shall not lie with a man... doesn't say anything about boys"

Which number commandment prohibits rape, and which prohibits child abuse?

Weird how they could fit at least three "suck up to god" commandments (depending which sect is counting), and neither of those two, or "thou shalt not treat humans as property".

The ten commandments have done a really good job of keeping tens of thousands of clergy from raping millions of children worldwide over the past centuries. How could this possibly not work?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 5 months ago

As someone who grew up in Boston... it didn't fucking stop the priests.

[–] FlyingSquid 27 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, that never happens in religious school.

Except with this teacher, the first one in a quick search, and lots and lots of others: https://www.wrtv.com/news/local-news/crime/fishers-christian-academy-teacher-preliminarily-charged-with-sex-crimes-against-children

[–] Frozengyro 22 points 5 months ago

I mean a lifetime dedicated to the church and god didn't stop all those rapist priests, but surely a poster on the wall with 10 rules will...

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 months ago

That sounds very much like projection...

[–] Jimmyeatsausage 24 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If posting them in the churches didn't stop priests and pastors, why would it work differently with teachers in schools?

Their training to be a man of the cloth gains them resistance to holy damage

That hasn't stopped the Church, GOP, Youth Pastors or Cops.

MAGA pastor = deceiver.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago (2 children)

He wrote "teachers" but he meant "preachers".

[–] billiam0202 10 points 5 months ago

He's wrong either way.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

It's so easy to get those two mixed up.

[–] xc2215x 16 points 5 months ago

No it will not.

[–] TheBigBrother 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah sure because rapists are people who take religion so seriously.

[–] Lemminary 32 points 5 months ago

When they do they're called priests.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If you want your kids raped bring them around a pastor.

Is no pedophilia one of the commandments?

Magical thinking. This man needs to be given a fucking medal for his stupidity

......how? Most of the time when they say fucked up dumb shit, I can follow the logic to point out why it's flawed logic.

This logic is so dumb I don't even get how they expect it to work.

[–] FuglyDuck 11 points 5 months ago

Especially because “don’t rape” and “don’t have sex with kids” aren’t even part of the commandments.

In fact there’s other passages that explicitly say, “fuck their daughters after killing the rest of their family”.

(And people wonder why these things happen.)

[–] afraid_of_zombies 10 points 5 months ago

Hey legal question and totally unrelated.

If I got some furry porn commissioned and named one of the characters "Pastor Jack Hibbs" then alerted the media in Chino California of the existence of said porn would anything bad happen? Pretty sure it would fall under protected speech because a reasonable person wouldn't conclude I was claiming that he was an anthropomorphic fox.

"Isn't it convenient how my religion is all about how great I am and how rich I should be. I'm pretty sure that's exactly what Jesus intended. No, wait... I don't care!!!"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

This is a giant red flag waving at the speed of sound. This is projection. I would bet my salary this guy has raped children.

[–] resetbypeer 8 points 5 months ago

Also school shootings ? Or is that for a diff pastor to say ?

[–] Passerby6497 7 points 5 months ago

The ten commandments has long been known to stop people from abusing kids.

[–] 555_1 6 points 5 months ago

You can have your 10 when I get my 7

[–] Noodle07 5 points 5 months ago

I don't understand, is this not the onion?
