Religious people love to project their fears onto other people. For instance, take how obsessed they are with “Drag Queens”, claiming that these individuals are all child predators. So far, not one of these performers have been arrested or charged for any crime, let alone child abuse. For those of us familiar with their M.O., it is a classic form of projection, stemming from the fact that so many in their ranks are dangerous pedophiles. Rather than focus on rooting out the degenerates in their midst, they point the finger at people they dislike, accusing them of the crimes that they continue to allow in their churches, and their homes.
It’s not just the odd youth pastor getting arrested. These days, it’s big wigs like Robert Morris, who founded a megachurch in Texas called Gateway Church in Southlake. Back in 1982, Morris was abusing a 12 year old girl named Cindy Clemishire for over 4 years, at which point she was too old for his disgusting tastes. She’s recently come forward, which prompted police to arrest and charge him for the alleged abuse.
Morris claims it was only kissing and petting, defending his actions by saying he never penetrated her. Wow, give the man an award or something! Isn’t that just your typical response from perverts who ruin the lives of innocent victims? “The abuse wasn’t so bad!”, they claim, despite the fact that victims of abuse often have great difficulties forming intimate bonds with their partners later in life.
Church officials claim that they were aware that he had acted inappropriately in his marriage, but then said that they had no knowledge that his “affair” had been with a minor. Luckily, we don’t yet live in a hellhole where churches can simply hide this kind of thing under the rug.
A multicounty grand jury returned the indictment against Morris, the attorney general’s office said. “There can be no tolerance for those who sexually prey on children,” Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond said in the statement.
“This case is all the more despicable because the alleged perpetrator was a pastor who exploited his position,” Drummond said. “The victim in this case has waited far too many years for justice to be done.”
This sack of monkey shit now faces up to 20 years in jail. I predict that it will be much lower. You may recall that priests and pastors often get preferential treatment in court, usually because jurors are inclined to believe them when they claim to have “repented”. He’s not a young man, so if he dies in jail, then we can all rest easily knowing there is one less predator in this world.
