But this is not a “specific organization” — this is my faith. The “revealing the warts” is fine if one guy posts once, but an obsession? No, that is an attack on Christian beliefs

The administration of the church is not your faith, and I have no idea about how many times people post, or are supposed to post about decades long, at least partly avoidable, issues, that affect children in this nation and globally so much and so tragically.

When a problem can be stopped by turning up the publicity heat, maybe people feel driven to try. Maybe some are just venting at what they see as institutional indifference, or worst.

I don’t get involved in that stuff much, if at all.

Posts on this topic are not an attack on Christian beliefs, unless the grounds for the article are obviously spurious.

Children are a gift from God.

They are precious little ones.

The parables about stewardship apply to the church, in care for those not yet mature.

Children are not chattel, for the lusts of adults. These things need to be stopped cold when they happen, and those who were hurt need to be made whole - by the Church freely, good heartedly, in recognition of the admonitions and desires of God, not because some court finally made us.

I post on most threads that appear about rape and sexual abuse.

If the Perpetrator is a cop, there are people who show up saying people only care because it was law enforcement.

If it is a teacher, there will be people who say it would be no big deal if it weren't a teacher.

If it is religion or denomination X then people of that persuasion show up whining that they are singled out.

Frankly, I don't care who it was, I want it exposed to the light rather than hidden away, and I want anyone who attempted to sweep it away brought into the light as well.

I want it to stop.

We live in a fallen world, and maybe what I wish won't come to pass in this age. None the less I shall strive for it.
