I’m tired of every Christian I speak to thinking that their religion makes them more moral than others. What bugs me the most is this stupid idea that the Bible is an adequate moral compass. It really isn’t. If one passage isn’t telling you to stone your children, it’s telling you not to eat shellfish. If pigging out on shrimp is wrong, then I don’t want to be right, dammit.

Here’s an article about Juan Alberto Ovalle, a Spanish narrator for Focus on the Family who just got busted for solicitation of a minor. Undercover agents posing as young girls caught him trying to seduce what he thought was 15 year old girl into sleeping with him. He’s obviously a pillar or society.

I went to the site to see if they would make a statement, but obviously they are too mortified to comment on the arrest. I did, however, find this quote in their “About” page that I thought I’d share with you on the eve of Juan’s arrest:

Since Focus on the Family’s primary reason for existence is to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ through a practical outreach to homes, we have firm beliefs about both the Christian faith and the importance of the family. This ministry is therefore based upon six guiding philosophies that are apparent at every level throughout the organization. These “pillars” are drawn from the wisdom of the Bible and the Judeo-Christian ethic, rather than from the humanistic notions of today’s theorists (my italics). In short, Focus on the Family is a reflection of what we believe to be the recommendations of the Creator Himself, who ordained the family and gave it His blessing.

When you like to have a “good christian” like Juan Ovalle reaching out to your family? I think I’ll stick to people who have more humanistic notions…

Spread the outrage

    These priest fucks should be castrated when they enter the service to prevent any urges.

    Hey here’s an idea for the TGA audience. We should create a running tally of all the, holier than thou, types that get outed as the sick individuals they really are.

    Think of it as a running wall of shame.

    I added a new category for the blog called the “wall of shame”, so thanks for the idea, man!

    Does this mean we’re now tallying?
