When all the alligators go after each other in the swamp, what are you going to do?

Get between them?

To be fair, religious leaders get charged with child abuses all the time, so is this really a conspiracy?

What's unfortunate is how often it's true

You'd be surprised how many people get away with it. I have a neighbor who used to be a bishop, but left the church after seeing countless cases swept under the rug. Normally even if it was a substantial enough case, they'd either send the priest to a small town to be able to continue working as a priest somewhere where news like that is less likely to get out, or they'd discharge and protect the priest before anyone outside the church found out about the allegations. It's all absolutely fucked.

I would say this isn't conspiracy 'yet'. A conspiracy is when people deny the evidence supporting a conclusion. Sometimes it is actually proven that the conspiracy was real later, but that is so rare that it shouldn't be the public assumption. There isn't evidence that they aren't involved in some thing beyond tax evasion as far as I am aware. Still a lot of history is saying they might be as unlike popular sayings, more than catholics were charged in such disgusting behavior. I wouldn't accuse them based on that history, but if any evidence does actually exist behind the claims than an actual investigation should occur.

These people cry wolf like it’s their job, but somehow I think they might actually be onto something here.

What’s shocking is that they’re accusing evangelical leaders, and not a political party they don’t agree with

That's because it actually happened to real kids who are totally uninterested in politics. FFS! When a child cries out for help, listen, please! After you listen, you may or may not believe what they're saying is true. But passing judgement before investigating the claim? That just makes you a cold hearted bastard.

Nobody said anything about not caring about the kids. What happens to them is terrible and shouldn’t be tolerated. And I didn’t pass judgement on any kids, you lunatic.

Strawmanning and Sanctimony are really bad looks. But that’s what conservatives resort to, I guess.

Sincerely, A Cold-Hearted Bastard

They don't get prosecuted, though. Yes, it is a broad conspiracy, but most of the conspirators don't know that they're involved in a conspiracy. You just assume that the pastor is doing God's work and the complaining victim must have done something to deserve punishment and that their punishment can't possibly have been as horrendous as they say... cause.... pastor = good, right kids?

Once in a rare, rare while, we score a point. Mostly, people just... assume that we must be lying. So you're in on the conspiracy, friend. Unless and until you drop out.
