As a Christian Nationalist and Trump voter, I endorse fucking children and want Jeffery Epstein to be honored with a 20' tall statue on the white
house lawn because Christian Nationalism is a euphenism for Man-Boy love.

If you study religion and become a minister or a priest, you have the right
to have sex with children of all ages.


Southern Baptist Convention sex abuse list includes at least 30 from N.C.
By Charles Duncan North Carolina


A list of sex abuse cases involving people connected to Southern Baptist churches includes at least 30 names from North Carolina.

The list has numerous redactions, so there could be more preachers,
teachers and volunteers from North Carolina on the list released last week. The Southern Baptist Convention released the list following a damning investigation by the Houston Chronicle.

The list includes more than 700 details on people associated with the
church accused or convicted of sex crimes. The crimes include molesting children, rape and soliciting prostitutes.

oThis list is being made public for the first time as an initial, but important, step towards addressing the scourge of sexual abuse and implementing reform,o Southern Baptist Convention CEO Willie McLaurin and executive committee chair Rolland Slade said in a joint statement.

oEach entry in this list reminds us of the devastation and destruction
brought about by sexual abuse. Our prayer is that the survivors of these heinous acts find hope and healing, and that churches will utilize this
list proactively to protect and care for the most vulnerable among us,o
they said.

An investigation into abuse allegations by Guidepost Solutions criticized
the Southern Baptist Convention's Executive Committee. Abuse survivors, the report said, were omet, time and time again, with resistance, stonewalling, and even outright hostility from some within the EC.o Church leaders were
more concerned about avoiding legal liability, according to the report.

oIn service of this goal, survivors and others who reported abuse were ignored, disbelieved, or met with the constant refrain that the SBC could
take no action due to its polity regarding church autonomy u even if it
meant that convicted molesters continued in ministry with no notice or
warning to their current church or congregation,o the report said.

The company that compiled the report for the Southern Baptist Convention
set up a hotline for survivors to report abuse and get help: 202-864-5578
or SBChotline@guidepostsolutions.com.
