Why don't republicans stop having sex with children?

Why don't republicans stop having sex with children?

The Republican party obviously has a long and sordid history of the most
disgusting sex scandals, including those of the child abuse and rape
variety. And that certainly forms a tight Venn diagram with the rot inside
the conservative Christian church, protestant and Catholic, rich, poor and
everything in between. 

It’s as if there’s something about these ideologies that lends itself to
abusing minors, and that attracts and shelters those who’d like to do
that. 

Since January I’ve been tracking all the current news stories I can find
of Christian pastors, priests, youth leaders, teachers, gymnastics
coaches, and more — anyone in a spiritual position of power — who’s
accused of, sued or arrested for, tried for, and/or convicted of sex
crimes against minors. Because there are so fucking many of them. 

(Meanwhile, similar stories about drag queens, trans people or LGBTQ+
people in general just don’t show up in the news very often! But yet we’re
supposed to attack LGBTQ+ people as groomers and predators while we drop
our kids off at church, where the bad guys are. Well, guess what? Fuck
you.) 

I’m not the only one who’s ever tracked this stuff. I compile my list by
using other people’s lists and tips y’all leave me on social media, and
also just my own searching. But I’m particularly interested to see exactly
which churches, and which denominations, are
producing/aiding/hiding/harboring the most child sex predators, alleged
and confirmed. 

Because quite frankly, when these Christian conservative MAGA fascist Nazi
motherfuckers try to impose their will on the rest of us, try to control
our lives, I think one of our first questions should be “Oh yeah? And
which white fascist Christian tradition are you from?” 

And when they tell us, one of the FIRST things that comes to mind should
be our knowledge of what a haven for kidfuckers that place may or may not
be. 

Now that we’re six months in tracking this, and we can start putting
together some preliminary data, the word that comes up the most? 

Baptist.

Both the Southern Baptist variety and the independent fundamentalist
Baptist variety, as well as a couple other varieties. Is there something
about those churches that makes them inherently unsafe for kids? And
should children be allowed in those churches without parental supervision? 

Just asking!

Fucking Baptists. Become a paying subscriber because you’re not surprised!

I have a full update on my tracking list below, but you should know that
the grand total of distinct stories I’ve tracked in the first six months
of this year is ONE-HUNDRED FUCKING TWENTY-FIVE. Almost all are from the
United States. A ridiculous percentage come from the South. 

For fairness, I’m also tracking how often it happens at more liberal and
mainline Christian churches. SPOILER: Not very. 

And right now, anything with “Baptist” next to its name is far and away
leading the pack, accounting for fully 39 out of the 125 stories. 

Out of those, 21 are Southern Baptist congregations and/or schools. That
shouldn’t be a shock, since the SBC is kind of the Home Of The Christian
Sex Abuse Scandal Cover-Up, at least among protestants. 

But hey, y’all, the SBC just overwhelmingly voted to criminalize porn!

And to call for the overturning of Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized
marriage equality! 

At least they’re paying attention to the important stuff, like God Hates
Fags, right? 

Scumbag motherfuckers, literally every one of them is going to hell.

Ten more are from independent fundamentalist Baptist/King James churches,
the extreme backwoods kinds that think only the King James version of the
Bible is the real one, I guess because they think Jesus was a white man
who spoke the King’s English. (It’s funny that they love that translation
so much, considering how little formal education so many IFB/King James
church leaders have.) 

The other eight are Baptist churches that were harder to easily
categorize. A few are historically Black congregations. One or two are
just much more obscure sects under the “Baptist” umbrella. 

Here are some more numbers on which churches, denominations and movements
are represented in the big conservative Christian kid-toucher report, and
how much so far: 

    Assemblies of God/Holiness/Apostolic/generally otherwise pentecostal
    or charismatic (some of these might better belong in the regular
    nondenominational/megachurch category below or vice versa, I’m doing
    my best to categorize them) — 16 

    General nondenominational evangelical/Christian nationalist (this is a
    big tent, but there’s a lot of “undefined” out there in the world of
    evangelicalism, also see just above) — 15 

    Catholic — 8

    Conservative Presbyterian (PCA, EPC, etc.) or anything calling itself
    “Reformed” — 4 

    Seventh Day Adventist — 4

    Lutheran (regular/Missouri Synod) — 3

    Methodist (the conservative, backwards types, NOT the nice United
    Methodists) — 2 

    Vineyard USA — 2

    Nazarene — 2

    Wesleyan — 1

    Anglican (NOT Episcopalian, these tend to be the ones that left the
    Episcopalians in a huff for being insufficiently gay-hating) — 1 

    Evangelical Lutheran (these are the liberal Lutherans, despite what
    the name might sound like) — 1 

    Mormon (LDS) — 1

    Church of Christ — 1

    Disciples of Christ — 1

    Episcopalian — 1

    United Methodist — 1

Now obviously, I can’t call this scientific, because for one thing there’s
no way of knowing if I missed a bunch of stories, since stories of child
sex abuse in the conservative Christian church really are so constant. (I
literally gather new sources every month.) Plus, as I alluded to several
times, the categorization isn’t always going to be perfect, considering
the uneven lines between some of these
evangelical/charistmatic/nondenominational movements, and their overlap
with the more pentecostal side of things, etc. 

But I’m trying my best to categorize them fairly!

Also it’s entirely possible I miscounted something. (Whoever wants to
volunteer to turn this into a spreadsheet, well, you’ll be doing God’s
actual work.) 

But we can look at these patterns.

And when we see somebody like that sneering, satanic-eyed little prig
Speaker Mike Johnson claiming moral superiority and authority over how the
rest of us should be allowed to live our lives, we can go yeeeeeeeeah go
fuck yourself, you Southern Baptist creep, and we can know exactly why
we’re saying it.
