I hate that when guys like this who wear their faith on their sleeves get found out, it’s all about “repentance and healing”, privately, and never about actually paying the secular penalty for what they did. Ask for repentance not only from God, but from those people you harmed, by admitting what you did publicly and accepting the punishment. And part of healing is spending time in the slammer to reflect on what you’ve done.
Religion isn’t about not doing bad things, it’s about being forgiven for being a bad person. Religion is the justification.
Yeah I committed fraud systemically for the last 12 years by making my employees work before and after they clock out. But it’s OK because I talked to my own personal Jesus and he said they’re cool with it.
wtf i love jesus now
Jesus, Yahweh, Allah
It’s all the same human toxicity being concentrated and used to abuse and oppress people.
Religion just makes all of that abuse easier by telling the victim they are “a sinner” before if even happens
For those curious about what the Christian Bible says on the matter:
Romans 13:1-2
“Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.”You are forgetting Romans 13:2.5 , in which Paul added
“Unless the government is full of Liberals, fuck those guys, amirite?”
I’m sure that’s in the Trump Bible…
Which they would then quote out of context as “there is no authority except for god”.
Sexual assault? By a Christian?!
It’s more common than you think!
Does anyone think this is surprising? A “Christian” with money and power being accused of sex crimes.
To be fair, the word Christian in this sentence is not the one doing the heavy lifting.
Then again, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a poor, powerful Christian
Conservatives trying not to be sex pests challenge: impossible
The Contemporary Christian Music industry is brimming with scumbags like Tait. I’ve read interviews with artists and bands who left it and they have all said largely the same thing: everyone is full of shit and no less hedonistic as their mainstream industry counterparts. They just up the ante with a patina of hypocritical self-righteousness.
Christian music ‘star’ ?
There are some times when I’m so happy to not know anything about something in the news.
Christian pop music is a pretty bizarre phenomenon, which apparently is pretty big in the US for obvious reasons.
He was big in a band called DC Talk which was christian rock/pop. They are that genre’s biggest act. This is big news for those people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Talk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Tait
Goddamn I listened to DC Talk a lot as a kid, growing up in a Christian home. Didn’t follow his solo career but listened to TobyMac, who was also in DC Talk. Pretty crazy news for that world.
