Gambian Supreme Court Hears Arguments For Female Mutilation

Posted on by

If you’ve been a listener for a while, you know that Female Genital Mutilation is something I loath, and try to expose at every opportunity. It’s one of my arguments specifically against Islam, which seems to have taken on the practice with gusto. Those unfamiliar with FGM have no clue that it is rooted in the male fear of female desire. It’s why Islam, so terrified by the opposite sex that they cage them (read Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s book “The Caged Virgin” if you need context), embracess this disgusting and inhuman practice.

In the Republic of Gambia, where 95.7% of the population is muslim, a debate is currently being held in their Supreme court over the legality of mutilating young girls for religious reasons. On the side of wrong is what you’ve come to expect: powerful men who want even more control over others. Their arguments are enough to turn your stomach:

…one witness, a prominent Muslim leader, attempted to justify the violence against women and girls, saying that “female circumcision” is part of Islam and isn’t harmful. When asked about two babies who died from the procedure, he replied: “We are Muslims and if someone dies, it’s God’s will.” He went on to say that the practice’s benefit is reducing women’s sexual desire, “which could be a problem for men.”

Don’t you love how this is still framed as a “male” problem? “Sorry we cut off your clitoris with a seraded blade and sowed up your vagina, all without anesthesia. Hey, how come you’re not sleeping with your much older husband?”

Essentially these imams want to argue that banning this practice is unconstitutional, because their “religious freedom” is being impinged. Yep, you heard that correctly. Their freedom to ruin the lives of million of young women (estimated globally to be 240 million of them, with 4 million added each year to that list) is paramount. Why? Because one day long ago, an illiterate man claimed that the voices he heard in his head were from a divine entity, and ever since then people have not been able to stop hurting each other over his revelations.

I wish only that one of these ignorant, narcissit pieces of shit humans would experience the pain, humiliation, and life destroying ritual like the ones they force on innocent little girls. Perhaps a little trauma might clue them to the fact that all of this repugnant crap is the product of a deep seeded hatred of sex, and more specifically, female agency.

For those of you listening who are men, are you as tired as I am of being on a “team” that can’t stop hurting the other sex? Will there ever be more of us disgusted by the treatment of women than not? For the sake of boys like my nephews, I certainly hope that day will come.

Anti-Trans Pastor Arrested for Sexual Abuse of Minor

Posted on by

Did you ever hear of the saying “every accussation is a confession”? There seems to me to be a trend as of late: pastors who are vocal about trans rights are soon caught in scandals involving the sexual abuse of minors. This is usually following some diatribe about how transgender folks are grooming kids. The only grooming that appears to be going on is the very familiar story of a church official abusing their power and harming the ones they are supposed to care for.

The latest case of this style of confession is a man by the name of Marcus Owens, a 42 year old pastor for Prepared Church in Sand Springs. Police were suspicious of his relationship with a child, and when they interrogated Owens, he claimed that there was nothing untowards happening. Not long after, the child confessed to the abuse, and Owens was place in the custody of Sand Springs police department.

He is facing three counts: abusive sexual contact with a minor, sexual abuse of a minor, coercion and enticement. These are all felonies.

Investigators believe Owens may have more victims. If you know someone who has been victimized, or if you have yourself, call your local police department.

Owens had several jobs that all gave him unsupervised access to kids. Where there is smoke, there is often fire, and so while I hope there are no other victims, it’s very likely that there are more. Here’s hoping that the bravery of the child that did come forward will inspire others to do so as well. This way, we can get a little bit of justice in a world that is in desperate need of it.

Justice for Victims of Tallahassee Youth Pastor

Posted on by

It’s easy to assume that purpotrators of sexual abuse are never getting punished. The Epstien files, and the complete lack of prosecution from the government, has cemented this idea in society that abusers are getting away with their crimes, and no one can do a thing to stop them.

Luckily, not every child abuser is rich and powerful, or benefits from experienced lawyers of their congregation. In the case of Terrance Booker, a jury took only 45 minutes to conclude that he had molested a child from 2010 all the way to 2015. This victim had chosen to come forward only because there were others that reported on it. His lawyer said that upon hearing that Booker had abused others, he became sick, and was able to overcome his shame in the hopes of defending others.

This young man showed more courage and dignity then Terrance will ever know. With this first victory, this child abuser faces 3 more trials, which means that he faces a potential life sentence. This is yet another clear warning that churches are beacons for these types of sickos. Their access to vulnerable children, along with their extreme authority given to them by their roles make these positions ideal for predators. The complicitness of religious organizations only further incentivizes them to join.

It would appear that there will never be enough victims for the faithful to finally open their eyes and see the problem. But perhaps there is still hope, so long as victims continue to fight to save the rest of us from these perverts.

Lazy News Article Exposes Kansas Pastor

Posted on by

After posting literally hundreds of articles about the sexual abuse at the hands of priests, I can understand that things can feel a little stale. How many ways are there to descripe the depravity of people who hold positions of power and authority over others, butressed by a set of beliefs that are not grounded in reality? I get that it’s exhausting. However, I can’t excuse the terrible attempt at journalism from ABC affiliate KMBCNews.

This enimic article provides so few details, it’s actually comical. Sure, we have the name of the man accused of sex crimes against a 13 year old child, and we also know that he worked at other parishes. That is, however, an unexceptable amount of digging into the past of a man accused of such crimes. Perhaps this explains why Americans seem so unable, or unwilling to properly go after child abusers. There simply isn’t enough curiosity or research going on in these so-called “news outlets”. It’s always on to the next fresh disaster. No time to really dig and find out if there is a blazing fire behind all that smoke.

For instance, what did the other parishes know? Why was he moved around? Had there been other credible accusations that were buried under the rug by these churches? We already know from the countless other examples of abuse that a victim coming forward usually means that there are those that have not. I have little doubt that other abuses occured. Mentally disturbed individuals like Ryan McCandless do not pop out of nowhere. Abused people often become abusers themselves as a way of coping with trauma. Churches, which are secretive by nature, are perfect breeding grounds for all sorts of horrors. I would very much like to know more. This being the Catholic Church, the hope of having any answers is practically nonexistant.

It should be noted that not all news outlets were completely lazy. Yahoo did also report on the arrest, though it was stonewalled by the church when they attempted to get more answers other than their public statement. They also pointed out that the Church has helped defeat a state bill that would have forced priests to report abuse, or face punishment. Given that the internal policy of the orginazation is to threaten excommunication to anyone that discloses abuse information outside of church authorities, it makes sense that they would do everything in their power to kill such a bill. They succeeded, although another rematch is scheduled sometime in 2027. I’m sure the Church with their near infinite resources will be ready for the fight.

Pakistan Court Upholds Child Marriage

Posted on by

Did you ever wonder why religious institutions are so obsessed with pedophilia? Perhaps it has something to do with the religions themselves, that at the root is a blueprint for the systematic abuse of children. How else can you explain baffling news like this:

Pakistan’s Federal Constitutional Court (FCC), presided over by Justice Syed Hasan Azhar Rizvi, has recognized the validity of the marriage between Maria Bibi, a 13-year-old Christian girl, and a Muslim man named Shehryar Ahmad….In its ruling, the Court dismissed the request of Shahbaz Masih, a Christian resident of Lahore, who sought the release of his daughter, arguing that she was a minor and held illegally after contracting an invalid marriage.

In case you were wondering, there’s a common practice among certain sects of Islam of kidnapping young girls from other faiths and forcibly marrying them. It’s then simply a matter of ensuring they convert, and suddenly everything is nice and legal.

Her parents have tried to petition the governments higher courts to end child marriage, and setup legal protection for children forced into these marriages. One has to wonder why they ever would. Pakistan is incredibly religious, and Islam’s inventor had a 9 year old wife, and so, it sits well within their framework of belief. Sure, some sects reject this practice, but they do so because of modern social pressures, not because they disagree with what their “boy” did.

It’s another day of religion getting away with atrocities and abuse, or as we call it in the secular world, just another Tuesday.

Rhode Island Catholic Priests Abused Hundreds Over Decades

Posted on by

With the Epstein Files still causing all kinds of havoc, can we all take a moment and reflect on why literal child sex traffickers are going unpunished? See, there’s already been examples of systematic abuse for over a century, and yet, very little is ever done to stop them. I am referring of course to the Catholic Church. How many times have they been caught not only abusing people, but covering it up? These guys make the Epstein Files look quaint. A few hundred abused people maybe. The Church has sexually abused hundreds of thousands of kids. Maybe even in the millions.

So, how many priests pay the price for all this horror? Well, thanks to the tireless efforts of the organization, very few! Just take Rhode Island. This tiny state has a population of around 150,000. Conservatively, investigators estimate that hundreds of kids were molested, but this number is assumed to be much larger, as they became aware of just how effective priests were in covering up any abuses.

Church records show the diocese transferred accused priests to new assignments without fully investigating complaints or contacting law enforcement, a practice exposed in investigations in Boston, Philadelphia and elsewhere.

Ah, the old “molester shuffle” that these guys like to play, always ensuring that there are fresh new children to be victimized. It’s like a conveyor belt of rape. The most disgusting this in all of this is that the church is patting itself on the back for providing limited paperwork to help the investigation. In reality they have stonewalled investigators and treated all of these abuse allegations as ancient history they are eager to forget.

We won’t forget, and we certainly won’t forgive, but if you’ve ever wondered to yourself why it’s so hard to convict child sexual predators, just remember that there are organizations out there (most of them religious) that have been covering this stuff up for over 2 millennia (there are reports from the very early church of abuses starting real early). People in power have always been good at avoiding accountability, ensuring that they can continue to victimize the weak. The old Catholic playbook of burying the truth has been adopted and perfected it seems.

Megachurch Founder Indicted on Child Sex Abuse

Posted on by

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.

Mormon Judge Arrested on Child Sex Abuse Charges

Posted on by

It seems to me that religions have a big “abuse” problem. Not only do they continually recruit morally reprehensible characters into their fold, they also do them a service by covering up their crimes, and providing financial and moral support to monsters that destroy the lives of children. Usually they also employ fear mongering tactics to vilify minority groups and convince their flock that the real predators are “out there”, and not already in their homes and churches just waiting for their opportunity to strike.

Such is the case with Kevin Robert Christensen, who was arrested last week on charges of child exploitation and human trafficking. It seems as though Christensen had a habit of messaging underage kids, and having disturbing sexually explicit conversations with them. In some conversations, he admitted to abusing children that were related to him. The police have arrested him, and this monster is waiting for his day in court.

“The position of trust he holds in the community and the actions he undertook while in this position significantly undermine the confidence of the community in the legitimacy of the criminal justice system,” the report said.

I’m sure during the trial, he will claim to be a “good Mormon”, and there will undoubtedly be many in the community that jump to his defense. This is all part of their M.O. They put their religion above all others, including in some cases their own offspring. This is why I’ve said repeatedly that religions don’t help families stay together. If anything, they create ideological divides which are often irreconcilable.

If all religions were honest, they would admit that the faith is more important than the family. For these deluded fools, what happens to you after you die is infinitely more important than what happens when you live. This is why all faiths are, at their heart, death cults that suck you into their orbit.

Little Girl Dies When Babysitter Attempts Baptism

Posted on by

The way religion makes people behave is abohrant. The level of entitelment of people who are convinced they are in possession of some divine truth is truly breathtaking. Sometimes it’s even deadly. That was certainly the case for a young child by the name of Klover Miyanee Symphonee Hawkins, who was tragically killed in a stupid and pointless religious ceremony.

In September of last year, she was being babysat by her second cousin, a 39 year old woman named Nakia Martin. While giving Klover and her siblings a bath, she began to hold their heads underwater in an attempt to “baptize” them. Six year old Klover drowned while this occurred, and the surviving children were threatened with banishment to Hell if they dared to tell anyone what happened. Martin then went into hiding, but was eventually arrested and charged with murder.

I simply can’t fathom the pain of her poor mother, who had trusted a family member with the lives of her children. Martin’s obvious mental illness had been masked under the guise of faith, meaning that it would have been impossible for other believers to know the danger she posed.

I feel like this story is emblematic of what is happening in America. A bunch of mentally diseased people, cloaked in religion, are acting in psychotic ways and other believers don’t even understand the scope of the problem. They instead think that because they share the same faith (on paper) that they have the same interests. They do not. Keep it up America, and you’ll be drowned in a bathtub during a botched baptism.

Catholic Church Spent over 5 Billion on Abuse Allegations

Posted on by

It must be nice being disgustingly rich. It seems that when you have enough money, there’s little you can’t get away with. How else could you explain how an organization can continue to exist when over 18 thousand credible abuse charges which led to settlements totaling well over 3 billion dollars? According to a new study, that’s what the Catholic Church has shelled out over the last 2 decades in compensation for their demented employees having destroyed the lives of countless individuals.

What I find particularly disturbing is the part of the study that found over 86% of the perpetrators died before ever facing justice. It burns me inside that these monsters not only got away with their crimes, but that the organization they worked for did everything in their power to ensure this was the case. Let’s not forget that Pope Benedict XVI had issued a decree (while a Cardinal of the newly renamed Inquisition) that any priest discussing abuse with police would face excommunication for doing so. Keep in mind none of the people ever found guilty were punished so.

Considering that the church makes roughly 1 billion a year in donations and various business ventures, the money represents only a small fraction of their true wealth. The Church should have been stripped of their special status long ago. How the Vatican, a construct of a fascist Italian dictator, is allowed to maintain it’s sovereign status is beyond me. They are guilty of all manner of crimes, from money laundering to child abuse, and yet they act as though they are a legitimate government. Ridiculous. They day we tear up that agreement will be a victory for humanity.

Texas Church Hires Registered Sex Offender

Posted on by

Do you remember the show “America’s Most Wanted”? It’s a show that began in 1988, running for 24 seasons. Hosted by John Walsh, a man who lost his son to a serial killer, the show brought attention to criminals that would otherwise have gone unnoticed. His quest for victim’s rights made his show a hallmark of American television. It would feature profiles of criminals on the run, asking viewers to contact their hotline if they had any contact with the individuals featured on the program.

One episode featured a man named Chuck Adair, a dangerous sexual predator that had kidnapped an underaged parishioner. He was eventually caught, and sentenced to 10 years in jail. He was released in 2006, and not long after, he began to be involved in church activities. He has since been hired by the Grace Place Church of Christ, acting as a minister, despite his sordid past.

As I’ve said in the past, Christians will fall over themselves to forgive a sexual predator, believing them when they claim to have “repented”.

“Mr. Adair has no legal restrictions preventing him from any of the activities which occur at either Grace Place Properties or the Grace Place Church,” the church said. “Both the Grace Place Church and Grace Place Properties families believe in these principles and are active in forgiving and encouraging those who seek restoration.”

The problem is that “repentance” is not really a thing. It’s just a way of pretending to change, all the while claiming that an all powerful entity has given them the power to stop their problematic behavior. It never works. Instead, this is how sexual abuse continues in these institutions: sexual convicts are ushered back into the fold, only to eventually offend again. When the inevitable happens, they will blame external forces for the “slip”, and yet more lives will be destroyed because moronic religious folks are easily fooled.

I share in the same sentiment that many feel: the parishioners would do well to leave this pathetic organization that puts their children in danger. Of course, if everyone left every organization that’s placed their kids in the sights of these rapists, there would be no one left in the pews.

Abuse Isn’t Just For The Boys

Posted on by

With all the countless articles TGA has reported on over the decades (ouch, it feels weird saying that), one could easily be forgiven for thinking that the abuse of children is strictly a male phenomenon. The reason for this is quite simple; it’s only the minority of faiths that allow women to hold any form of power, and thus, fewer women can abuse of said power.

Well, the glass ceiling of child rape is being smashed, let me tell you! In Mississippi, a woman by the name of Lindsey Whiteside is facing 30 years in jail for the sexual abuse of a young girl that was under her tutelage. Whiteside was a former Division I basketball player turned coach, who wanted to “teach” people about Jesus the same way she learned:

In her since-removed profile on Getwell Church’s website, Whiteside, who lost her father Robert “Shan” Whiteside in 2006, said she was committed to getting everyone to experience Jesus the way she did.

Seems these days a lot of kids are learning about this supposed god the hard way: that no matter how many times you pray, it won’t stop his representatives from raping you.

Naturally, the church Whiteside belongs to is keeping silent. What could they say anyways? Sorry that our organization attracts sociopaths? It’s worth a shot. Perhaps they could try to say sorry for how a culture of control and power makes this kind of thing inevitable. At least then, when yet another incident occurs, none of their parishioners will be surprised. I know we aren’t.

Arkansas Pastor Arrested on 100 Counts of Child Pornography

Posted on by

It’s another day, and yet another religious leader being arrested for the vile crime of possession of child pornography. It’s only the first charges for James Vincent Henry, aged 43, who was recently taken into custody after a special task force, the Arkansas State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, executed a search warrant. After finding a bunch of damning evidence on social media messaging platforms, he was charged with 100 counts of possession, viewing and distribution.

Henry had served as a youth pastor for several churches, which seems like the ideal way for these disgusting perverts to make a living. It’s almost a graduate program in child abuse, offering a PHD in human misery.

While I’m glad he’s in jail, I’m not sure that these are the only charges that will be brought up. It turns out that Henry and his wife had been foster parents of more than 70 kids over the last 6 years to 18-25 year old girls. Although it seems that these young women were not in his “preferred” aged group, I find it hard to believe that there was no funny business going on. Typically, these types of abusers tend to move beyond the realm of fantasy and into the real world. Here’s hoping this wasn’t the case.

 

Pastor Fired From Fort Mills Church After Past Becomes Public

Posted on by

When you hear churches claim that they vet all of their pastors, you should instantly doubt them. You see, modern churches have a big problem: they are running out of pastors. Every year, there are fewer and fewer candidates to choose from, and so when a congregation finally finds someone to minister, they are so desperate that most of them don’t even bother to do their due diligence to protect their own flock.

Such was the case in Indiana, at a small church called “Fort Mill”. They had hired a 57 year old by the name of Donald Ray Logan, who had been working for the organization for over a decade. It turns out that one of the members of the church found his name in a registered sex offender list for a 1997 conviction. Logan was only recently added to the online sex offender registry, despite the fact that the charges stem from over three decades.

Logan is now fired, and his congregation is still in shock over the accusation. They shouldn’t be. With the increased desperation for qualified pastors, churches are usually forced to hire people with questionable pasts. Logan is but one example of the types of degenerates that seek these positions. Anyone who thinks that churches conduct rigorous background checks is a fool. They will take anyone, so long as they look the part. For all you religious folks, I have a warning for you: this is only going to get worse.

NC Former Church Youth Minister accused of assaulting multiple teens

Posted on by

Has there ever been a more abused position than “youth pastor”? The amount of times I’ve had to write the phrase “youth pastor rapes children” are too many to count. This job title should just be renamed to “molester-in-chief” since it seems as though it’s the only thing these guys are good for.

The latest sack of crap is a man named James Robert Murphey. The 44 year old man was arrested a few days ago, and is accused of 30 counts of sexual battery. The victims, who’s age range from 16-19, was suspended by the Oak View Baptist Church, where he served from 24 years.

The safety director of Oak View Baptist Church, Chris Martin, said the allegations came to light earlier in the year. The church was told about the claims back in January and Murphey was suspended. One week later, he resigned. Martin said, “Any kind of incident involving any of our members, especially our youth, is going to be taken very seriously.”

Anyone who believes that any church gives a damn about the abuse of children is delusional. How many kids have to be abused before people realize that these institutions actually ATTRACT abusers. How can they take this seriously when they are part of the problem?

With him gone, the Church has found and appointed a new youth minister. How long will it take the new guy to also do something inappropriate and illegal? Only time will tell.
