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@lemmy.world 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@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 113 points 5 months ago

Because that works so well in Churches? 🤔

[-] Doom@ttrpg.network 66 points 5 months ago

This guy definitely assaulted a child in his life

[-] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 17 points 5 months ago

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

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

Oh most def.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 64 points 5 months ago

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@lemmy.world 50 points 5 months ago

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

[-] dessimbelackis@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 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@lemmy.world 39 points 5 months ago

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@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

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"

Yup, the Bible btw loves rape. There are tons of stories about rape in there... And they don't all end with "that's why you shouldn't rape".

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?

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 30 points 5 months ago

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

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 27 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)
[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 27 points 5 months ago

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@lemmy.world 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...

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 26 points 5 months ago

That sounds very much like projection...

[-] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Zenjal@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] Corvidae@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago

MAGA pastor = deceiver.

[-] Zier@fedia.io 18 points 5 months ago

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

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

He's wrong either way.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 5 points 5 months ago

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

[-] TheBigBrother@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 32 points 5 months ago

When they do they're called priests.

[-] card797@champserver.net 16 points 5 months ago

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

Is no pedophilia one of the commandments?

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

......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@lemmy.world 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@lemmy.world 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.

[-] InternetUser2012@midwest.social 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.

[-] Samvega@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 5 months ago

"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!!!"

[-] resetbypeer@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

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

[-] 555_1@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

You can have your 10 when I get my 7
