I find it very disappointing that you have posted a comment such as this. While I’m an admitted agnostic, I grew up in church and am reminded of a particular verse right now. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Matthew 7:3

OK, we get it. It's "wrong" for Star Traveler to somehow assume there's a "speck" in the eyes of this Mormon perp and a culture producing such perps;
but it's somehow "OK" for you to assume there's a "plank" in Star Traveler's eyes?
Now tell us how that comes about?
So Star Traveler is talking about the arrest of a man for sexually raping foster children -- and you call that a "speck" inspection?
But somebody you don't know, somebody to our knowledge may have no criminal record, and you're quick to assign some "plank" portruding?
On what grounds do you morally twist these things upside down?
People willing to come on a thread and take the side of an abuse perp of minors already has plenty of gall!
Now you're piling it on!

That's why Jesus preached against hypocrisy.

Star Traveler equated Mormon country with pervert country. In black and white (bits and bytes, if you will). See post #5. I expressed disappointment in him/her for painting with such a broad brush. I’m surprised that you failed to see that.

How you get from there to believing that I am siding with a child rapist is an example of some seriously binary thinking. I can admonish Star Traveler for his silly comment AND want to string the perp up at the same time. I don’t have to take either of their sides.

See how that works?
