Lunatech, to Israel

If you have friends or family who are convinced that the Bible commands to stand with even when they are committing then you should send them this. Of course they will probably reject it if their favorite TV preacher is saying something different, but at least you can try.

No, The Bible Doesn’t Command We “Stand With Israel”

The only group is .

"Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it."

The only group you regularly hear about molesting kid is Church officials, particularly Youth Pastors.

No queer person would tell a child who they are, or who they should be. Being LGBTQ is all about people declaring their own Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity. But once someone does, the entire community celebrates it.

My new theory is dudes like this help the GOP. He makes them look reasonable when they add rape exceptions, which don't exist because:

  1. Most rapes go unreported, only 2% lead to convictions
  2. Doctors fear prosecution
  3. No Republicans actually believe in exceptions

"The most pressing issue for Christians in the United States isn’t being persecuted for our faith. Rather, it is those who are using our faith as a tool to control and even persecute others in the name of Jesus. Until we Christians can collectively reckon with this reality, we have no hope of reclaiming any integrity."

My conclusion after reading this big feature from @TexasObserver is that maybe fundamentalist Christians with an 'abolitionist' approach to sex work shouldn't be in charge of helping people recover from sex trafficking ...
