In the USA? Since Xianity is the majority? Pretty much, yeah. In other places? Not so much, as christianity is not the majority. Not ironically? Child molestation is also lower... coincidence?



Except that never happens in Real Life.



How very "Christian" of you... not.

Jesus would be so proud.... Aryan Jesus, that is.

Chrisianity is the majority of what?

How does it not happen in real life. Whose sins are front page on the news?

Oh, you determine what is 'Christian' of me. How so very hypocritical. You are the unbeliever, yet you determine what is Christian. Stupid.

Nope. Proof? The 100% lack of any convincing evidence to a large and growing larger fraction of Humanity.

That says right there? This "god" is not the god of those people. This god doesn't even make an effort.

The remark to me was that God was the Father of everybody. Thus I respond based on the Bible. Do you have 'proof' that God is the Father of everybody?

I didn't think so?

What a hypocrite.

Apparently you read nothing I said.
You said People such as yourself, such as the one who started this thread, always love to point out the sins and faults of Christians when they find them."

No I have not had a thread pointing out any sins of any Christians , Here of late i have spoken about my Unitarian Universalist friend who tried to scam me. I have spoken about men mostly who have tried to hurt me on the net. I have put up a lot in my journals of late. I put up alot in politics too. I have not been sitting around pointing at christians your paranoid.

I also live in the Bible belt, its mostly Christian here, so when I point to Christians its Christians in my community such as this pastor.

Actually I read everything you said. The very title says it all. "Another Baptist Minister Bites The Dust".

If I were trying to call out how bad christians are I would not posted Christian music in my journals, Ive done that too but you don't read that.

Oh gee... you are such a 'good person'. Just really makes me warm all over.

Sorry, I read what you have just posted. I don't care what you want to claim you are. I know what you are by what you have just said. If you want to make a claim of being Christian, go ahead.

Are you a Christian?

Chrisianity is the majority of what?.

You want a list?

Majority of believers in the US
Majority of people on welfare in the US
Majority of folk who get abortions
Majority of people who get divorces
Majority of people who get their kids removed, due to neglect or abuse
Majority of people who go on shooting sprees
Majority of people who cheat on their taxes.
Majority of...

... the list is endless-- because there are more Xians in the US than any other group. Simple statistics-- a subject you seem entirely unfamiliar with...
How does it not happen in real life. Whose sins are front page on the news? .

Most of the time? Xians. See above.

I'm not being hypocritical-- I'm using your own book-- you know? The bible you never read? You are a hypocrite with respect to the bible.

Me? I reject the bible as immoral on the whole.

The remark to me was that God was the Father of everybody. .

Nope. Not the father of me-- I reject the grossly immoral bible. Read Exodus 21.

It's god is absolutely immoral.

Thus I respond based on the Bible. .

Indeed-- you claim you do-- but you often are in direct conflict with what it actually says!

Thus? you are a hypocrite.... perhaps you should try reading it..
Do you have 'proof' that God is the Father of everybody?.

That's YOUR claim! God doesn't' actually exist, so really, god's not the father of anything..

What a hypocrite.

Yes-- you are-- there is zero need for you to Brag about being a flaming hypocrite, though-- everyone here already knows--- the first clue is your Racist Banner of Hate in your picture...

Exodus 21 wasn't written by Moses or any Christians.. It was written by some bronze age Jewish men trying to make up rules that set them apart from the other canaanite tribes.

Heretage Baptist church Pastor got caught with kiddie porn and charged.. I don't reust the church or any pastors anymore why doesn't this surprise me?

Any suggestions on how to keep out predators from being Pastors?
Arlington Pastor Brett Monroe Arrested, Charged With Possession Of Child Pornography
In all fairness, people are people. You are going to find predators in any crowd. Sociopaths in particular are drawn towards positions of power like the clergy -- congregations should be on the lookout for that, scanning for narcissism, manipulation, and Machiavellianism. Make sure you have certain rules in place, like the door should always be ajar when the pastor is counseling women or is with children. You can have porn filters on all the church computers. And most importantly, have rules in place that mandate reporting of predatory behavior, and train all employees in this.

There are lots of independent Churches that have no vetting process who would NEVER admit they had a child molester... might even defend him against his accusers.

You need to pay attention to your quotes.

According to your list we could add all the good things ever done by the American people. Since they are the 'majority'. How about that? So, any good thing you are enjoying in America....no need to thank us.

Yes, you are a hypocrite. You want to explain to me what a Christian is and try and use the Bible, which you are ignorant of, against me, yet you don't believe a word of it.

If I am a hypocrite with respect to the Bible, show me where?

I don't care if you reject the Bible as immoral. It is not for you. So, you don't need to worry about it.

You need to pay attention to what was being said. I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to someone else. You butted in for 'proof', without knowing what you were talking about. At which time I shut you up. So now you reply, 'Not the father' of me, when I distinctly said God was not the Father of all.

Your 'immorality' is neither here nor there. God is not judged by you.

Yes, you keep making this claim but offer nothing to support it. Any time you think you can, feel free. I certainly want to know more about the Bible. I have serious doubts that you will be one to further that end.

If you believe God doesn't exist, that is fine. That is up to you.

That's a good answer.

The worst thing is that many deal with it by only having the perpetrator "repent" and then everyone is supposed to forgive.

Yes, allow them to actually have premarital, and marital sex.

Pastors are free to marry in most denominations. They are not priests of the RCC thus are not restricted to being unmarried and celibate. Men with children and a past marriage can even become priests later in their life in the RCC.

Most folks will have premarital sex if they want it anyways, they may lie about it to the church but.

Well, yeah-- 100% of the bible is like that-- written by men to control other men.

Especially the so-called christian scriptures. I find it ironic that you think so little of the bible, which is the sole reason to even be a christian.

Indeed. You are absolutely correct! Christians-- making up the majority of the US? Are responsible for the Majority of Stuff that Happens!

GOOD! THERE IS NO MAGICAL OVER-LORD CONTROLLING ANY OF IT.

Yes, you are a hypocrite. j.

No--I'm not. I go strictly by the very immoral, and ugly bible. YOU? you make it up as you go-- for example, Jesus was not a Racist. But YOU ARE-- your use of a flag literally DEDICATED TO RACISM proves that for all to see.
You want to explain to me what a Christian is and try and use the Bible, which you are ignorant of, against me, yet you don't believe a word of it. .

LMAO! I know it better than you, obviously! Proof? Your racist flag, just for starters...
If I am a hypocrite with respect to the Bible, show me where?.
