Taking a sacred name in vanity.

Vanity, vanity! All is vanity!

Atheism is a lack of belief in deities, not a criticism of religion. The two tend to go hand in hand, but this post doesn't have anything to do with atheism specifically.

My hypothesis: Youth pastors are supposed to counsel teens in order to woo them into the fold. They're there to help, but not for sake of the teen but for selling the teen Jesus. It's dishonest work for an allegedly good cause.

But someone who can sustain that kind of dissonant duality in their relationships can do so for other causes. If they can be equivocal for Jesus, they can be equivocal for their own libido as well.

Hence the nickname given to YPs by the kids The freak of the week.

You’re right.

But it goes against the moral argument for god.

If god is real, and moral, and raping children is not, then these fucks should either not exist at all, or somehow be kept from kids; then these fucks shouldn’t even exist (or something demonstrably punitive should happen to them.)

Note who's sitting at number 13:

13.) March 31, 2026 — REV. ROBERT MORRIS, 64, the founder and former pastor of Gateway church, one of the largest megachurches in the country, was released from an Oklahoma jail on Tuesday, March 31st, just six months after pleading guilty to sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl in the 1980s when he was 21 and serving as a traveling evangelist, staying at the child’s home. In early October Morris pleaded guilty in Osage county district court to five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child. During Trump’s first term in office, Morris served on his spiritual advisory board.

Yeah because drag queens and transgender people aren't degenerate conservatives.

At what point can we stop dissociating the religion with the atrocious acts its leaders do?

That's easy. When there's consistent accountability.

As long as any organization attempts to hide and cover up it's sins, it can never be trusted.
