I suppose it does appear that's what I'm saying. FWIW, I'm NOT a court of law nor am I a juror, so I'm not using careful, judicious language in my analysis, I'll admit.
Please ASSUME that when I harangue, there is an implied disclaimer "if they really did this."
To be honest, my outrage is directed at anyone who'd do this to a kid. And the fact that it was apparently done in the name of Christianity DOES chap my butt to a deeper stratum. As I mentioned before, I have personally seen these kinds of shenanigans, and so I'm rather thin-skinned about them.
