None that were accepted as the canonical gospels anyway. The gospels of Mary Magdalene. Repressed.

My wife got me into watching the series.  I’m left wondering how she doesn’t have a splitting headache every day after having her hair pulled back so friggin’ tight.  That has to do some sort of damage over time. 

No question the scripture paints women in a terrible light. Hardly even considered people, but rather morality/loyalty tests for men. It just makes me really sad, because Christian culture asks so much of Christian women, and gives them literally nothing in return. I suppose thats more of a society-wide/patriarchy…

I thought of Roger Stone

There are very few grim things that bring me pleasure, but one portion of that small set is the knowledge that Lee Atwater has been dead for thirty years and he never saw his 41st birthday. That pleasure is tempered somewhat by the realization that the stink and sticky filth of his horrid being is still slathered all…

I had the same thought - obsessive sociopaths both, but Atwater had the charisma to be the class clown and Miller...didn’t.

I wonder if they realize that admitting to a “three strikes and you’re out” policy regarding FUCKING CHILD MOLESTATION is telling on themselves to a spectacular degree.

Look at his smirk in the mugshot. This piece of shit knows his chances are very good that he'll get away with it again. Because, Jesus. And Arkansas.

I know we’re depopulating as a country but his mom and dad shouldn’t have had so many kids because they’re actually bad parents and bad people who don’t care about other human beings. Seriously, one time is too many, let alone three.

I was brought up in a fairly strict Catholic household. Unwanted and/or inappropriate physical contact was drilled into me as never, ever being acceptable and to always say no if I was uncomfortable. When weird distant relative once visited and demanded I give him a kiss, I shook my head no as a 5 year old, when weird…

You are so right. His sisters have been prepped their entire lives to a) serve men without question and b) see themselves as disgusting temptresses who must have their bodies and sexuality controlled by the men they serve. They are not at fault here.

I can only speak to America, but I sure can speak to this in that particular context. True! Pedophilic disorder IS a mental illness under the DSM-5, but it is not fully congruent with the idea of being a child molester. It requires for diagnosis experiencing clinically significant distress or impairment, which is a…

Except they do have a disordered attraction to children.  One that is difficult and often impossible to cure and can only be managed.

Fundamentalists and ideologues who constantly attempt to preach to the rest of us about how we are filthy sinners, while simultaneously ignoring the rising tide of their own filth and damage, really chap my fucking hide.

His parents should be tried for aiding and abetting abuse. 

the federal government needs to step in and investigate the police agencies who had purview over this case.  More charges are needed.  A total restructuring of Arkansas public policy toward abuse/exploitation needs to be done.  There should be no limit of shame being directed towards him and his support network.

Her cult does not allow that, and, she knew he was a child sexual abuser before she married him.

Their concern was far less the redeeming power of Jesus Christ and more the risk of bad publicity to their financial empire.

She has been cheated on repeatedly by a child molester. I really hope she can find it in her to leave him. Her kids do not deserve the trauma of having to be around him.

If only we were all entitled to the forgiveness and patience afforded to Christian white males.
