I believe that we are now just getting a taste of a future to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Quite a few folks have said that after the gays and gay marriage were okay'ed (aka rammed down society's throat) the pedophiles were going to come out of the woodwork sooner or later. Now that has started it would seem. Fasten your seat belt 'cause the ride's gunna get more interesting from here . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ninhao Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Please reflect upon why Mr Dawkins may hold his beliefs and pray for him. Child abuse creates deep scars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isa 5:21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shiloh357 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Please reflect upon why Mr Dawkins may hold his beliefs and pray for him. Child abuse creates deep scars. I have reflected on them and his comments don't reflect deep scars but an apparent moral indifference to the effects of child molestation. i also doubt his claim that he was molested based on his comments.

They do not approve of it and are usually quite traumatized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he were molested there is little chance that he could be so nonchalant and indifferent about the damage it does to children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
