Do you become an abuser? Or does sexual abuse make you religious?

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

Mental issues make you an easy target for religion.

Lots of things cause mental issues.

Not to say that all religious people have mental issues. It's just religion has a compelling business model.

or the sexual abusers, the ones mentioned only went to religion as a method to avoid criticism and consequences and to flee to people who accepts pedophelia, SA, they dont truley believe in it. RUSSEL brand is pretty obvious, he knew the SH/SA were coming to light so he recently became "baptized" as a form of shield against answering for being a predator.

Got it! Religion had been used as a form of social control, for bad or worse, since ever.

It's a way for a clever, but pathetic narcissist to project their desired superiority on another being, do awful shit, and still feel righteous about it.

Woodchippers for them all!

i don't think it makes you religious. I'm sure there have been cases where people have found it as a way of repentance later in life.

but for these assholes, they just know the news that come out makes them less likely to ever find a job, so they go where they know sexual abuse is embraced and celebrated: the right wing. religion is just a convenient way to say it because for religious people it sounds less like a grift than "I suddenly changed all my political beliefs I pretended to have".

they do this because you can be a total monster but if you say you hate gay or trans people there's a bunch of demons who will ignore everything else they know, and support you no matter what.

plus there's always Hollywood rejects like Ben Shapiro to use whatever funds he's getting to put you in awful movies that would've been in Hollywood to begin with if they had any talent.
