You have anything to say to me, say it in private, I don't trust you for a second.
"You have anything to say to me, say it in private, I don't trust you for a second."
I don't exchange Freepmail. I discuss things in public, where everyone can see what I'm saying. That way, there is no confusion. Whether you trust me or not is not my concern.
Free Republic is a public forum. I choose to post here, and I follow the rules of the forum. I do not promote atheism in any way. I discuss religious issues sometimes, but respect everyone's right to believe as they choose.
When it comes to the subject of this thread, which is sexual abuse of minors, I don't care whether the abuser is a priest or a policeman. It's all the same to me. A pastor who molests a minor does not represent Christianity any more than a bad cop represents law enforcement. Each is an individual, acting on his own. I do not care whether this guy is a pastor or not. He sexually abused his own adopted child. That infuriates me.
I said nothing, nor implied anything about his religious beliefs. I don't care what his religious beliefs are. My reason for posting the article was to open a discussion regarding how we can send our children out into a world where those we normally would trust are offenders.
I'm not sure what your motivations are for attacking me, but this is not a thread about religion. I am an atheist. I do not hide that. I don't try to convert anyone to atheism. I have no reason to do so.
You will find posts from me in many threads. Most have nothing to do with religion. This thread has nothing to do with religion. It just happened that this sexual abuser was a pastor. That's irrelevant.
