Zero Jail Time for Iowa Pastor Convicted of Raping Boys to 'Cure Homosexuality'

[dannno]

His point, and he was correct, had to do with the fact that homosexuality is evil, not anything to do with physical harm.

Yes, I understand that religion can be irrational at times.

I know you already know this, but some of the non-Christian/anti-Christian people who have only ever heard religion through the lens of statism may need to have that pointed out to them.

How does one 'hear' through a lens?

And what was Sandusky's excuse for doing what he did to all those boys? Don't blame religion/God. Religion was the mask this POS put on to get away with what he was doing, as is always the case when there are atrocities in the name of religion/God. As has already been proven in one of your own threads, more atrocities have been perpetrated under atheist regimes than religious ones.

Spot on. Sandusky's "disguise" was a coach, this guy's was a pastor. For others it's a teacher, scout master, friendly neighbor, family member, etc.

My point was, while I'm completely aware that when Sola_Fide says "Homosexuality is not harmless" he's not suggesting laws against it, I am aware that there may be some that will fail to make the distinction, even here.

The judicial system is way too lax on these sorts of crimes. I don't believe pedophiles or rapists should ever be let out of prison. There is no treatment or cure for being a disgusting creep.

This is where irate parents step in and dispense "justice"...

Fuck the "Just-Us" system and every one who advocates for it!

This is reckless advice.. considering we have suspected criminals at much higher levels accused of Link[/QUOTE]"]"killing children for freedom" and zero jail time so far.

Injustice often starts at the top.

This guy is a poor excuse for a pastor, just some pedophile who should spend the rest of his life behind bars.

And I believe it is possible to cure same-sex attractions, but obviously this guy just wanted to indulge in his own perversion.

Freedom is "reckless"...

Parents assuring that some perv is punished for molesting their child, not so much..

Relying on the "Just-Us" system to actually decree justice is more than "reckless", in fact it borders on delusional.

Make no mistake, I'm all for you having the freedom to choose how some perv who molests your child is treated but don't get in my way if it's my child and I don't agree with the punishment you advocate...
