Good thing for him that he's white - where sodomizing multiple 7 year old kids ain't that big of a deal.

Black teenagers get 30 years for putting their hands on a woman's neck.

Texas dad rips judge after convicted rapist of his teen daughter gets light sentence: report

... Polk County District Court Judge Travis Kitchens issued the sentence June 3 to defendant Eli Binnion, who authorities said committed the crime in July 2018, when he was 19 and the girl was 14, FOX 26 reported.

Binnion received a sentence of 180 days in jail as part of his probation, meaning he could walk free as soon as 100 days from now, the station reported. Prosecutors wanted Binnion to spend 15 years behind bars, the report said.

Polk County District Attorney Lee Hon made clear that the girl was not a willing participant in sex with the defendant, but instead was forcibly sexually assaulted.

Hon described the crime as a serious case with a dangerous perpetrator, FOX 26 reported. He said Binnion followed the girl into a hotel room, where she had gone with others to pick up some supplies for a July 4 gathering. He then forced her onto a bed and attacked her, the prosecutor told FOX 26....

'Take the Ship': Conservatives Aim to Commandeer Southern Baptists

All too interesting to excerpt. Mirroring the Trumpette takeover of the GQP, the whiny racist right-wingnuts are purging the SBC. We'll see what the ultimate affect of both being smaller, more isolated and more radicalized will be.

Earlier today in a fit of terminal angst and acute boredom I decided to thump my Bible and discovered this gem which I dedicate to all trumpaloons and right wing nutjobs and fascist know nothings.
"Let them be as chaff before the wind; and let the angel of the Lord chase them. Let their way be dark and slippery and let the angel of the Lord persecute them. For without cause they have hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul. Let destruction come upon him at unawares and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall....." I approve this message. Oh, this is from Psalms 35:8

Wait. Back up a minute.....do they mean to say that if this Alabama preacher had raped kids while making a lot of noise he'd still be in prison? Seems to me that's backwards.

Biden's silence on executions adds to death penalty disarray

I think it's fascinating that US Catholics are debating whether to withhold communion from pols that support women's freedom to choose their own health care but not pols that support state killing of adults.

Yeah, and on top of that, a "person" does not exist (according to the state) until a birth certificate is issued. That'll probably be their next trick; making women register themselves and their egg after missing one menstrual period, so that the state can intervene and direct the woman to the correct course of action. So much for small government. They only like that shit when it doesn't apply to what you do in your bedroom. Or if you want to vote them out of office. It truly boggles the mind that the "pro life" fools are only "pro life" when it comes to the issue of abortion. If they were really pro life, they'd be pro education, pro health care, pro environment......they are only pro party and pro wingnut.

Sacred Heart of Jesus statue doused with red paint at Catholic church in Asheville. Praise red Jesus. This could just be an artistic expression of the old Christian standby "Washed in the Blood." They may have to go with a black Jesus now if they want to change this.....reverting back to white will likely result in pink Jesus, which, on reflection, probably isn't bad.

... Church workers reportedly cleaned gallons of paint off the statue and repainted it before a Sunday afternoon church service....

Pffft, as someone that has <ahem> spoken with a vandal or two, that's a quart of paint or less. Or, perhaps Jesus' sacred heart burst in atonement. For example, a connection?

... Earlier this month, almost a dozen churches were found marred with red paint in Calgary, Canada, as that country confronts the “Catholic church’s role in the residential school system,” the CBC reported.

. . . and its mass burials of children. Hmmm.

Or maybe even the blood of young boys who've been historically if not traditionally sexually abused at the hands of the "celibate" Catholic clergy. The blood spans the world as the missionaries traveled far and wide with their celibacy and their religion and their generous offers of weapons to those natives that would renounce their traditional views in favor of "civilized" protocol. It was a tragedy with a built in legacy and a truck load of hypocrisy. The rest is history.

The incredibly stupid Robert Jeffress, "doctor" of divinity and helmsman of the incredibly stupid "Pathway to Victory" tv pulpit, has in the past few days been squawking about Revelation and how the "revealing of Jesus Christ must.....come.....soon." I follow this nutjob pretty regularly and have never before seen him babble in this type of death wish bullshit. He's so trumpy and Jesusey that I'm thinking about not paying any more attention to him. Besides, he never replies to my email messages which are explicit and not likely to be misunderstood. Fuck him.

A lot of times on Sundays I'll put on Peter Gabriel's "Big Time" and bask in the idea of praying to a big god in a big church and how my heaven will be a big heaven and I will walk through the front door. It's inspiring.
