    Clemishire’s disclosure came as the Dallas religious community was still reeling from a handful of recent sex abuse scandals. Since then, at least a dozen Dallas-area churches or pastors have been accused of committing or concealing sexual misconduct — allegations that have ensnared some of the area’s most prominent leaders and institutions.

    Is Dallas a sanctuary city for paedophiles? 'Cause it sure looks like it from here.

    As I always say, keep your children away from religion. They are the pedophiles, and they accuse everybody else of it. It’s a cult!

      And even if you think it’s not a cult, your children will have plenty of time to meet God or whatever when they’re old enough to make the decision on their own. Your god isn’t so weak that he needs to indoctrinate impressionable children to gain followers, is he?

        That’s the thing that always bothered me about religion. There’s no sales pitch, its just indoctrination. There’s a million different varieties of religion, and supposedly only one of them is “correct”

        Judaism seems to make the most sense to me of the monotheistic varieties because there is no demi gods like Christianity. But clearly religion isn’t about religion, it’s more about having an in group.

    Name an industry that if they had this many child sexual predators, wouldn’t be immediately shut down and banned from operating ever again.

    Seriously. Can you imagine if, say, NASA had the same ratio of child sexual predators as Christian churches do? Or Applebee’s? Or Jiffy Lube? They’d all have to close up shop. Hell, there’s a daycare in my town that was in business for 30 years, and a teacher got busted for diddling a kid. That place was done for THAT WEEK. Doors closed, never opened again. Probably tens of thousands of kids came through that place just fine, but all it took was ONE, and they were kaput.

    These fucking churches need to be shut the fuck down. Those black metal guys in the 90s had the right idea.

        Was it him burning down all the churches? I totally forgot who was involved… Damn. Yeah he’s an idiot. But I still support the action.

    Amazing how these so called Christian people have so many mental issues.

    How many millions have died in religious crusades and other idiocy…

    “Few, if any, were more high-profile than Morris, who steadily involved himself in state and national politics after founding Gateway in 2000”

    The 90’s nerd in me did a huge double take when I read Gateway 2000

    Few, if any, were more high-profile than Morris, who steadily involved himself in state and national politics after founding Gateway in 2000. In 2017, Morris was tapped by Gov. Greg Abbott to help support the so-called “Bathroom Bill” that sought to ban transgender people from using their preferred bathroom — in part by arguing that it would allow children to be sexually abused.

      Wow, the GOP actually hired an expert with hands on experience in child sexual abuse. Thats and unusual departure from their regular practice of inexperienced and unqualified people put in positions to decide legislation.
