Christian Church Beats Teen To Death For Sins

Sad story, that's really unfortunate for the kids to be raised in such an environment and subject to that crap.

Thanks for the post op, making us aware of it and hopefully such awareness will eventually lead to changes in such sects or cults to prevent repeat incidents.

 

wrong parsing, 'done for you types', all one phrase not meant as an attack against you or your post, essentially in agreement with you.

 

Yes the world is far better off in the hands of the United Gods of State.



US: DynCorp Disgrace

by Kelly Patricia O'Meara, Insight Magazine
January 14th, 2002
[SIZE=10.5pt] Middle-aged men having sex with 12- to 15-year-olds was too much for Ben Johnston, a hulking 6-foot-5-inch Texan, and more than a year ago he blew the whistle on his employer, DynCorp, a U.S. contracting company doing business in Bosnia.

According to the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organization Act (RICO) lawsuit filed in Texas on behalf of the former DynCorp aircraft mechanic, "in the latter part of 1999 Johnston learned that employees and supervisors from DynCorp were engaging in perverse, illegal and inhumane behavior [and] were purchasing illegal weapons, women, forged passports and [participating in other immoral acts. [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]Johnston[/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt] witnessed coworkers and supervisors literally buying and selling women for their own personal enjoyment, and employees would brag about the various ages and talents of the individual slaves they had purchased."

Rather than acknowledge and reward [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]Johnston[/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]'s effort to get this behavior stopped, DynCorp fired him, forcing him into protective custody by the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID) until the investigators could get him safely out of Kosovo and returned to the [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]United States[/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]. That departure from the war-torn country was a far cry from what [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]Johnston[/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt] imagined a year earlier when he arrived in [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]Bosnia[/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt] to begin a three-year U.S. Air Force contract with DynCorp as an aircraft-maintenance technician for Apache and Blackhawk helicopters.[/SIZE] http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=11119

Gitmo Atrocities Continue

by Stephen Lendman

America's by far the world's leading human rights abuser. It commits horrific crimes globally. No other nation matches its record. It's longstanding. It's unconscionable. It's lawless.

It violates fundamental international, constitutional, and US statute laws. It does so with impunity. It's official US policy.

Straightaway as president, Obama pledged to close Guantanamo. He lied. He's a serial liar. It's still open. The worst of Bush administration practices continue. http://sjlendman.blogspot.com/2013/03/gitmo-atrocities-continue.html



So what religion do you want to sell that will fix your Christian problem? Same with the OP, which one? The government?

 

I think this is a tragic story and my heart hurts for that boy. I hope this is a wake up call for his mother, she'll have some time in jail to think it over I assume. Humans are stupid creatures sometimes

 

Wtf?

I was unaware brutally beating teenagers was an intrinsic part of Christianity. Are you insinuating this is what true devotion to the faith is?


My idea is to paraphrase OkieFreak that's it' a perversion of the faith but regardless, it is not acceptable practice IMO and it's a tragic story.

 

How many know that the christian bible and the torah (jewish bible) and the koran (muslim bible) all have Genesis,Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy in their "holy" books?

Anybody know how many witches were burned at the stake here in the U.S by the christians.?

Anybody know how many children have been sexually abused by Catholic priests? I was.

Anybody know how many children were sexually abused by protestant priests? I was.

Here's a clue.....it's a lot of damn "so called" "fringe nutbags".

Just keep defending the christians and looking down your noses at those that aren't. I'm sure Jesus loves you for it.

 

All religions are nonsense. Just a means to control and manipulate. One of the main causes of war is religion. I'm not afraid of your gods but I am afraid of your followers.

 

so you claim they are fringe nutbags and condemn them as a whole.

again : So what religion do you want to sell that will fix your Christian problem? The government?

 

Question #1---everyone that has responded to this thread thus far
Question #2---absolutely of no relevance to this particular situation
Question #3---no, I don't know the actual number, do you? And how does it compare to the general population? Is there actually a higher incidence or is it merely more publicized when it happens?
Question #4---see answer to #3

as Okie mentioned, that group was not what is considered "mainstream Christian" and conducted itself more along the lines of a cult more than a church.

I am curious as to how many kids were killed at the hands of parents or other trusted persons that same day, but alas as it isn't as sensational as a religiously motivated killing, those poor kids hardly ever make the headlines.

 

Have you tried counseling? That hate you have because of what happened to you will eat you up inside. I am sorry you were abused, but many people were raised in Christian homes and not abused. There are many kids abused with NO religion at all.

I do not look down my nose at anyone because of their faith or lack of it, and I have close friends in so many different religions. Honestly, by your posts, you are the one who seems looks down your nose on those of us who have a belief system that involves Christ.

farmout said, "All religions are nonsense. Just a means to control and manipulate. One of the main causes of war is religion. I'm not afraid of your gods but I am afraid of your followers."



I always find it odd to see such hate from people of no faith. No reason to fear and hate those of us who have a higher power, no reason at all. It just seems to me, if you have no religion, no faith, no higher power in your life...why get so mad at those who do instead of just living your life your way? I don't preach to others...so why do you ?

Many people, children included are beaten, abused and killed NOT in the name of any religion, and sadly that happens daily.

 

The frustrated , disillusioned , flailing , hopeless Hippie Idealist is easily a Rainbow Nazi . The Rainbow Nazi
action ? das'turdly mean and grinning . War is Peace . If the hate of religion leads to genocide - well , there
does exist a dread among some hippies that the persecution will be toward them for being so oddly peaceful
and non-materialistic , of incorrect odor .

Ya , troubles in America . The war comes home ...

 

only one thing to say about all that and those links;
BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

you have got to be kidding, you don't actually believe half that crap do you?

Uhmmmm, I seriously doubt anyone here really gives two shits what you do or don't "basically like" as if you are some sort of authority that we should take seriously.....LOL

 

Oh yeah, counseling....The department of Welfare made me go to counseling about a year later when I was twelve, when my mother was having a breakdown over her second divorce. They sent me to the mental hospital, who sent me to a boys ranch. It's like a prison, but without bars. It was full of fucked up kids. That's where I learned all about homosexuality and drugs.

Let me ask you...If you were raped, would you be able to just forget about it? Do you think women that are raped can just put it out of their mind? Do you think other children that are sexually abused, don't have to live with it the rest of their lives?

That boys ranch taught me that society is all about control and being assimilated... resistance is futile. It doesn't matter whether it's the GOP or the Democrats, the Catholics or the Baptists, the Muslims or the Jews....you must capitulate to the dogma.

So pardon the shit out of me if I resent it.

 

You aren't keeping up with the conversation. It was Noxiousgas's term "fringe nutbags". And I already said that I'm not pushing any religion.

And as you can see from post #33, the gas is just a troll to insult your opinion...It's his way of making himself feel like an authority on everything....like Trump does.

 

I doubt many here can be like the Vulcan Spock. No happiness, no sadness, no joy. No feelings makes people ...well not people.

When talking about sexual abuse or rape, I think it's impossible to not get emotional...especially if you are a victim.


Capitulating to this forum's dogma is a real challenge.

 

I do not think I said forget about it, did I? But hating an entire religion because of what someone did to you doesn't seem reasonable to me. I believe people who have been harmed in that way need some help to deal with it. I cannot imagine hate helps with healing.

 

Is this a trick question? The Qur'an refers favorably to the Tawrat (Torah) but does not include the books of the Pentateuch as such. No witches were burned in the United States, although 20 accused witches were hanged or pressed to death by heavy stones in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 1690s. Most Protestants don't have priests, although they have their share of child molesting clergy. Pope Francis estimates that about 2% of Catholic priests are peodophiles, and the Southern Baptist Convention estimates that nearly 15 % of theirs are http://stopbaptistpredators.org/index.ht... There is no authoritative tally of children molested by Catholic or Protestant clergy, nor by clergy of other denominations, nor by scoutmasters, schoolteachers, or others, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, atheist, or agnostic. Are you suggesting that sexual molestation of children is somehow a practice peculiar to Christians? More to the point, are you suggesting that anything in Christian teachings would encourage such abuse?(See Mark 9:42; 10:14). If you really want to understand phenomena like pedophilia, I think you could make more progress by looking at why certain occupations or positions seem to attract pedophiles--because they are put in positions of trust or authority over children. Also, if you want to understand violence perpetrated by some religions, it might be useful to consider what elements of their doctrines or practices tend to attract authoritarian or sadistic personality types. Fundamentalist religions tend to be associated with authoritarian personality syndromes (Adorno, 1950; Fromm, 1857) characterized by obsession with authority and obedience, possibly corelated to problems in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) of the brain (Asp, Ramachandran, and Tranel, 2012).But by no means are all Christians fundamentalists. It is a logical fallacy to think that if some members of a category have a certain characteristic, all do.

 

I didn't say I hated the religion, you just accused me of it. There is a big difference in hating the evil that is done in the name of God. In trying to defend that religion, you are condoning the actions of that kid being beaten to death.

Jesus was beaten half to death and then crucified by the Jews that called for him to be crucified instead of Barabbas. The priests of the Jewish church condemned him because Jesus was a threat to their positions. To this day, the Jews deny Jesus as the Christ.

The Christians of America defend Israel, and condemn Islam. At least the Muslims consider Jesus a prophet.

I started this thread to point out the evil done in the name of God. There has not been any sympathy for the boy killed, only attacks on me, accusing me of "stirring the shit pot" and "hating an entire religion".

 

LOL.....no troll here, actually it is you that has the penchant for posting crap like this in a manner designed to elicit the maximum emotional response from the reader, so if anyone in this thread could be labeled "troll" it certainly isn't me.
I just get a good laugh out of the crazy shit wackos like you and zzap post and the over-the-top conclusions you arrive at...LOL
