I am reminded that for example, nearly 400 Southern Baptist leaders, from youth pastors to top ministers, have pleaded guilty or been convicted of sex crimes against more than 700 victims since 1998
Let's consider more recent by other evangelicals

Stephen Anderson is a child abuser. One of he and his wife's tactics of abuse was to withhold food. Of course he doesn't care if other people's children starve, he starves his own and calls it "christian discipline."

As the fascist right seeks to preside over US imperial decline in the midst of worsening ecological crisis with a regime of austerity and repression, puritanical christian sexual/family morality will be an important ideological tool for justifying the resulting mass immiseration and death

Cracks me up, "the church will hold them accountable", yeah right, like they do with pastors that can't keep their dicks to themselves?

My favorite part of the Bible was when Jesus interrogated 5 year olds about their mother's sexual history before deeming them worthy of food.

Honey, far be it from me to explain your own religion to you, but there is no such thing as a bastard child for the Father is in heaven, isn't He?

It’s pretty wild he thinks churches or families should or would hold the poor accountable also. What churches is he going to?

Note that welfare programs are basically part of LDS and Quiverfull cultures. The Sister Wives family and the Duggars, before they got that reality TV money, were using government assistance to support their huge families. Hate those cultures but I *still* support all their kids having full bellies

Also, Steven Anderson and his wife literally starved their own children as one of the punishments that wouldn’t show marks, according to his kids.

The folks who don't want people using SNAP to buy seafood would've been mad as hell at the feeding of the 5,000. Jesus was giving those folks fish *and* bread!

I was kicked out of Sunday school because I called out the lie about Noah's ark🤣 I was only 6 or 7 and I already knew it was bullshit.
We must wrestle with the biblical texts, questioning and challenging them when they ignore the children they contain or justify violence against the children barely visible at their margins.
Noah’s Flood and The Bible’s Unseen Children
The Bible is not a children’s book. If a child must learn about genocide, it should be in an age-appropriate and protective manner.

As HSLDA believes that children must belong to their parents in a legal sense, children are to have no fundamental rights — and fundamental rights for children are seen as a monumental threat.
