    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.

    “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.

        Well that’s an area they’re passionate about so they make sure to keep such experts all throughout their leadership

    I attended this church growing up, it taught me some important lessons.

    Like, religion is a sham and people are hopelessly indoctrinated.

    And, as Carlin put it, “God needs mooooonnneeeeyyyhhh!”.
