What the gently caress? Did I miss out on being molested as a child? How the gently caress is this a common occurrence? I guess I wasn't a tempting enough five-year-old. I should have worn tighter shorts and maybe stretched a lot before running around the neighborhood.

I get that a lot of diddling is about easy access, power and control, but at least stick to your age band if you have to rape someone. Jesus, it's not that hard, is it?

I had a job working for a government department, covering a smallish geograhical area, who investigated times when social services had hosed up regarding physical and sexual abuse (not investigating huge pedo rings and the like). The archives department where I worked had tens of thousands of case records, which I had to review. Most harrowing job I ever had, ended up quitting after about three months. Yes it's far more common than people believe, and in a lot of cases far worse than you know. Lot of the records had medical evidence in them, makes me cry a little to remember it even though that job was 15 years ago.

Sounds like three months was a pretty good run for something like that. Turnover on that particular position must be very frequent.

I hate to break it to you guys, but being right with the Lord doesn't absolve you from being punished by the world for your sins. The laws of God are expressly not the laws of man, and Christians are called on to obey worldly authorities where their laws do not contradict the laws of God. Government authorities are granted the right to rule by God's divine will, for good and for ill. Since Josh and his parents conveniently didn't report this crime until it was no longer punishable by law, it is perfectly acceptable to me that the Duggars take some heat now. Jesus promised his followers a life full of suffering, hardships and unjust persecution, so just trust in the Lord and await your rewards in heaven. If you want a comfortable life free from want or worry, come join me in the atheist camp. :rolleyes:

Jeem Ba'hab, househead of the Dug'aar, stood tall on the crest of the dun as he surveyed the farmlands below, shielding his sensitive eyes from the setting sun with a twisted and stunted flipper that would have been a surfacer's left hand. Another dolmen had been defaced recently, and it was Jeem's sacred duty to exact a bloody toll for the sacrilegious actions of the apostates. Earlier, while the cruel sun burned overhead, in the damp and twisted tunnels of his clanhome, Jeem had kneeled and sworn a sacred oath before his broodmother. Her holy distended vulva quivered moistly in approval before him; an incredible honor to any of the Arrowmen. His eyes teared as he recalled her glorious musk.

"Arrowmen, we raid tonight. We rape tonight."

Jeem thrust his crude spear into the air and the clansmen below him on the hillock let out a guttural cacophony of cheers.

Down below, in the farmlands, men, women and children hid and sobbed desperate prayer to Obanga. They knew what that sound meant, that awful bellow. Not many would escape this night unmolested.

"In those days when Libertator Hussein Obama did cruelly rule, Joshua, first son of James Robert, was falsely accused of impropriety. All of the people of the land did cry out for justice against him, though he had done no wrong. Joshua's sister-wives spoke on his behalf before great multitudes, but none would listen. So hot was the anger of the unfaithful that they did beseech their Moorish lord to send soldiers to capture Joshua and to make war on Christmas so to humble his supporters. The faithful, righteous and pure among the multitudes did rise to defend Joshua and his tribe. And so it came to pass that the Great Communist Muslim Obama was slain on the battlefield of Ur Kansas during a terrible battle. There was much rejoicing throughout the land and many came to know the Lord."

Commie nedflanders, while trolling, is really doing a net positive service. He does a solid job portraying a far right fundie view point. Start off by having a vague idea of whats going on, and then choose the most positive possible view point and go with it. " Sure he touched his sister over her clothes, she was his age and they (implying it was mutual} were just experimenting! It happened only once! and he apologized! (once, and nothing happened after that) Its all a liberal attack!" From that point you have to slowly point out each and every single part of the conversation he got wrong, as if you just info dumped him everything that actually happened, he could smuggly say you have an agenda, or think to much about it. And even after you very slowly point every single aspect of the case, a fundie could always say "Jesus forgives!" . And apparently any and all criticism is forfeit at that point. So really, if anyone is defending the duggers in any sense of the word, its best just to ignore them, and there is quite literally nothing to sway them from their view point, and considering the starting point is incestuous underage molestation, that is saying alot.

I thought Lot's daughters were under the impression that the world had been destroyed. Getting their dad blind drunk and loving him was an act of desperate species preservation.

Soddom and Gammorah were destroyed due to violating the sacred code of hospitality, not because of kinky sex poo poo. That's why Lot was considered righteous when he offered his daughters to the mob outside his house. He was willing to sacrifice his own kin to protect the men (secretly angels) that the townspeople wanted to beat, rape and murder for being foreigners. Hospitality was serious business back in the day.

Nah. The problem with inbreeding is negative recessive traits. Presumably if an omnipotent god was going to create a single couple to start a species, he wouldn't give them any negative recessive traits. Inbreeding isn't a problem if your genes are perfect. Of course that didn't last long, mutations must happen at a crazy rate to get the diversity of humans we have now in under 6,000 years. Noah's flood must have been radioactive or something.

The apologetic answer to the inbreeding question is that man started out perfect in the garden, but sin gradually corrupted God's
design, allowing things like genetic mutation to take place.

If you seriously want to read the Bible (lit. Book) then I suggest a study bible that lays out the different books and tells you about the author, when it was written, who it was written for, why it was written, what style it was written in, (poetry is not history is not allegory is not legalease etc) and maybe pick up a solid reading plan that groups the books by theme, and relation to each other. Don't forget the apocrypha! First and Second Maccabees, at the very least. They actually explain what happened right before Jesus was born and thus why the Jews were waiting for a messiah in the first place.

Reading cover to cover straight through with no context is frustrating, nonsensical and terrible. Pick up some commentaries too. Then check out how modern Jews practice their religion. Then maybe look into church history and the different major sects. poo poo will begin to make a lot more sense that way.

TL;DR reading and understanding the bible is a large undertaking that will take a lot of time and effort.

Most Christians I know rarely even crack the fucker open and I'm an atheist.

Oh yeah, then there's apologetics...

Does this site look good, and does this have most of the apocrypha in it? It has Macabees in the middle of the Old Testament, along with good looking introductions before each book.

E: every study guide im finding is stupid, is there something specific that will bring up ones that actually tell you what books mean what to which and all that? ...or maybe do you just remember a good one?

I have the Legacy Study Bible. It's got a fair bit of info for each chapter and room for notes on every page etc. it's the Hank Hanegraaf one. I got the leather one because it's nice. Also has an associated study plan I believe. It's been a few years since I did any bible poo poo, so I may have to check that out.

I think that's not simplified enough for apologetics. It's more like "The bible means what it says and is completely right and inerrant unless it says something I don't like" since you'll see that it's not always bonkers or horrible things that draw the apologetics crowds

Apologetics literally means the legal defense of something. You can be an apologist for anything. Christian apologetics interests me because I play tabletop RPGs and I'm a dirty rules lawyer. It's like rules lawyering for The Lord!

Couldn't Gothardite men just blind themselves to avoid temptation? Seems like a sensible solution to me. You won't have to worry about those false Jezebels and their wiles if your eyes are gouged out after all.

This is actually a thing Jesus said. It, and the surrounding verses are trying to get across, with plenty of sarcasm, that if you have bad poo poo in your life, deal with it. Cut it out, as it were. In this case, the Duggar men need to take responsibility for their own thoughts and actions rather than putting on a self-righteous show of being pure.

Staying away from a new mother because she is impure is in the Old Testament. Yes, the time is doubled if the child is female.

There's a whole swath of things, including being near menstruating women, that require ritual cleansing.

It's all there in Leviticus. Chapter 12 for the birth thing. One week and then 33 days for a boy, 2 weeks and 66 days for a girl.

Not really. It's his religious duty to pump as many children out of his wife as possible, according to the fringe fundamentalist Christian sect he belongs to. As the de facto public face of his particular brand of crazy, Jorm Biib's feelings on the matter don't necessarily make a difference.
