The inability of a child to thrive in a Constitutionally protected God based perpetual threat and rape culture is not a fault of the child; however it does become their odious responsibility upon reaching adulthood to resolve the harms done to them. The Christian religion at its core is a toxic mechanism whereby intergenerational trauma is kept alive, active, and deeply embedded in each new generation, as it has done over the past 2,000+ years.
Are there moments when God enabled child predators are not exploiting?

Imagine not wanting the government to infringe on your freedoms as a Christian while simultaneously working to have the government infringe on the freedoms of others in the name of Christianity and refusing to see this as a contradiction. This paradox established by X publisher Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer is at the heart of a contentious debate in contemporary society, revealing deep-seated conflicts and complexities within the discourse of religious freedom and government intervention.
Religious freedom has been a foundational principle in many democratic societies. In the United States, the First Amendment guarantees the free exercise of religion while prohibiting the establishment of any state religion. This dual protection was designed to ensure that individuals could practice their faith without government interference and that the government would remain neutral in religious matters. Historically, this separation of church and state has been crucial in maintaining religious diversity and preventing religious persecution.
Many Christians advocate for religious freedom, arguing that their ability to live out their faith is increasingly threatened by government policies. Issues such as restrictions on religious expressions in public spaces, mandates that conflict with religious beliefs (e.g., contraception coverage in healthcare), and legal challenges to traditional Christian views on marriage and sexuality are often cited as examples of governmental overreach.
Organizations like the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) and the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) work tirelessly to defend Christians' rights to live according to their beliefs. These groups argue that religious freedom is under siege and that Christians must stand firm to protect their constitutional rights.
However, there is a growing body of evidence suggesting that this advocacy for religious freedom often comes with a contradictory stance: while fighting against perceived government overreach into their own religious practices, some Christian groups simultaneously seek to impose their religious values on others through government action. This contradiction becomes particularly evident in debates over issues like LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive rights, and education.
One of the most contentious areas is the treatment of LGBTQ+ individuals. Many Christian groups have opposed same-sex marriage, adoption by same-sex couples, and anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people. They argue that such laws infringe upon their religious beliefs. For instance, Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission (2018) involved a Christian baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, citing religious beliefs. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the baker, emphasizing the need to respect religious convictions.
At the same time, these groups support legislation that restricts the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals, such as bathroom bills that dictate which facilities transgender individuals can use or laws that allow businesses to refuse service based on sexual orientation. This advocacy for laws that impose specific religious beliefs on others highlights the contradiction in seeking religious freedom for oneself while denying it to others.
Another significant area of conflict is reproductive rights. Many Christian organizations have fought against access to contraception and abortion, arguing that such practices are morally wrong according to their religious beliefs. They have supported policies like the Global Gag Rule, which prohibits U.S. funding to international organizations that provide or promote abortion, and state-level restrictions that limit access to abortion services.
These efforts to impose religiously-based restrictions on reproductive health services infringe on the rights of individuals who may not share the same religious convictions. The contradiction lies in the attempt to use government power to enforce a particular moral viewpoint while claiming to oppose government interference in personal religious practices.
This paradoxical stance has significant implications for society. It creates a climate of division and resentment, as those whose rights are curtailed by religiously-motivated legislation feel marginalized and discriminated against. It also undermines the principle of religious neutrality that is essential for a pluralistic society.
Furthermore, this contradiction can erode the credibility of religious freedom advocacy. When religious groups are seen as seeking special privileges rather than true equality, it can lead to increased skepticism and opposition to their cause. The perceived hypocrisy can alienate potential allies and fuel broader conflicts over the role of religion in public life.
To address this contradiction, it is essential for advocates of religious freedom to embrace a more consistent and inclusive approach. This means recognizing that true religious freedom must encompass the rights of all individuals to live according to their beliefs, not just those who share a particular faith.
One potential path forward is to focus on common ground and mutual respect. Religious freedom can be protected without infringing on the rights of others by emphasizing policies that accommodate diverse beliefs and practices. For instance, anti-discrimination laws can include provisions for reasonable religious accommodations, ensuring that individuals are not forced to violate their deeply-held beliefs while also protecting the rights of marginalized groups.
The contradiction of advocating for religious freedom while seeking to impose religious values on others is a complex and contentious issue. By acknowledging this paradox and striving for a more consistent and inclusive approach, it is possible to protect the rights of all individuals and foster a more harmonious and just society. In doing so, we can uphold the true spirit of religious freedom and ensure that it remains a cornerstone of our democratic values.

2023 Findings in Spain found that 0.6% of the population of Spain had been sexually abused by Roman Catholic priests and laity. Up to 50 million alive on any day who have been raped or abused by Catholic clergy &/or Catholic laity
Current world population is 8 billion - 0.6% = 48 million alive today who are likely to have been raped by Catholics globally.

"This is a matter for the church and I respect the internal judgements of the church. I don't stand outside the church and provide them with public lectures in terms of how they should behave. I've noted carefully what his Holiness has said in the United States. Obviously that was a source of great comfort and healing in the United States. I'm like all Australians very much looking forward to what the Pope has to say here in Australia as well, as I am to my own conversation with the Pope later this morning."
