Well, old men in the bible married 13 year old girls all the time. What is the problem? Jesus says it is a-okay. At least it was not an adult guy he was fucking around with. We'd have to stone him then.

I know the pastor and several members and met the youth pastor at an event over the summer. Everyone is truly shocked and doing everything they can to support the alleged victim, her family and Chris' family.

The church's SUnday attendance is around 125 and they have been struggling a bit. Hopefully this will make the congregation closer and not tear them apart.

Cato: Whatever was "ok" in past/other cultures is irrelevant. It's not ok here and now. What matters is that all of the people involved are hurting and how we handle it.

Can we get a mugshot?

@ 2 It was a Baptist church so I am assuming that they Pastor was blasting anti-gay and other moral garbage each Sunday during his sermons so I could care less if the congregation is torn apart. Why? Because you folks will not wake up when anti-gay hate is being preached by the REAL evildoers. How about going after the real “evil,” all the preacher peds out there?
If the church is socially liberal, like some Baptists Churches are, then my apologies.
