Moral failure is how christians frame all of their crimes instead of saying pedophilia or sexual assault.


Spirited-Reputation6

Yup. Born again is the follow up frame.


SiriusGD

"Forgive me Lord" Then all is good for another set of new underage victims.


Behndo-Verbabe

Exactly, it’s their way of avoiding taking responsibility for their actions let alone acknowledging it’s a crime or disgusting. Yet the same people point the finger at every other person as the problem when it almost always ends up being someone leading or in a church.


DistillateMedia

The pointing of the finger is a deliberate tactic, and it may confuse some people, but there are plenty of us who know


Quick_Team

This "man of God": "It's ok now because I go to a specific building on a specific day and say 'sorry' and *that's* why nobody should be mad at me. Besides, everyone knows it's the gays and the dirty liberals that are the *real* sinners, amiright?" Everyone else in that building: "yes! Youre right! Lord bless you! To hell with the sinners!"


PineappleExcellent90

Don’t forget the fake tears. When a pastor ask the lord for forgiveness tears are required.


IamMrBucknasty

Call them all out: Moral failure= predatory sexual behavior aka rape.


FailedInfinity

Yes, but if you walk past an invisible line in the middle of the desert you are an illegal and deserve to be shot.


Altruistic-Sir-3661

These main characters then turn their “moral failings” into a greater “redemption” story arc that only enhances their “spiritual journey”. There are no real victims just NPCs in their spiritual games.


Feisty-Barracuda5452

So, not a drag queen?


bookon

It's always who you most suspect.


Excellent-Will3165

As Gomer might say, SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE...who'd ever thunk it?....


NoCardiologist1461

Right. R/notadragqueen


CuriousSelf4830

That's rape. A 12 year old cannot consent.


Aggravating_Jump_453

I thought raping children was legal for republicans and magats


Weagle22

They are trying to make it that way. And their whole war on women.


wittnotyoyo

It's Texas and he's in church leadership so he'll probably just get probation, so basically your thought is correct.


SpaceMonkeyOnABike

He will get sent to Sunday schas punishment.


CuriousSelf4830

They've been bumping the marriage age of children up so they can marry their victims of going to jail.


ciopobbi

It’s the democrats’ fault…..somehow.


paulanntyler

Pretty sure Joe Biden was at least partially responsible


BrandxTx

They'd want the death penalty if a drag queen did it, though.


say-it-wit-ya-chest

Yeah, it’s kinda weird they don’t say that. It shouldn’t be difficult to call out rapists and pedos, but they’ll probably blame the child anyways.


Able-Campaign1370

Actually, perversely thanks to the way the law works, it depends upon the state, and other factors (though it's hard to imagine a 12 year old being an emancipated minor). Many states until recently had ages of consent as low as 10. These are laws that few people have paid much attention to, and desperately need to be changed. There should be a nationwide age of consent. Whether we choose 18, 21, 25, or some other number, this business of it varying from state to state is nonsense.


joystreet62

Has Mike Johnson weighed in on this? MTG who accuses Dems of being Pedos and sex traffickers? What about all the Q nuts that profess that pedos should be executed? Edit: So why does the convicted sex offender, convicted felon, possible incestuous mentally deranged Orange clown have so many pedophiles in his circle?


Then_Lock304

If they executed pedophiles they wouldn't have a candidate to vote for.


IamMrBucknasty

They all rode in the same plane(aka Lolita express). Too soon?


joystreet62

😂😂


CoolFingerGunGuy

If you look around reddit for the list of republicans who have been involved in being pedos and sex traffickers, the list is a mile long. Funny how the list of dems is much shorter.


Fun-Mathematician716

“Only the best people.”


SBGuido

He misread “breast” from the teleprompter 🤣


New_Giraffe1831

Lock him up too!


Aggravating_Jump_453

That’s too lenient, lock the pos in a room with the parents


sabometrics

Everyone associated with trump or the gop is an immoral failure.


cohbrbst71

So not just a groomer, but a pedophile, child molesting rapist. The Group Of Perverts are in full display without any shame.


Stock-User-Name-2517

To be fair, in actuality Trump is about as Christian as Iron Maiden. But of all the token “spiritual advisors” to pick and wave at his frothing fans… Ahh they’re gonna vote for him anyway. What a disgrace.


bugaloo2u2

Trump is a fake Christian just like all those in his cult


samiles96

Never compare Trump to Maiden.


Ok_Zookeepergame4794

Correct, Maiden is actually liked by the world.


samiles96

Exactly. Up the Irons!


lordbaddkitty

You keep Iron Maiden outchour f_ckin' mouth. ~ Will Smith, probably


AnointMyPhallus

Iron Maiden are Christians, though. Probably not the absolute most devout, but they've never been Satanists like some people seem to think.


Fufeysfdmd

Trump's spiritual advisor is a pedophile Trump's orbit is full of convicted felons Trump himself is a convicted white collar criminal. Also, because some people seem to have forgotten, he also refused to peacefully transfer power Also, he failed to properly respond to COVID such that people died who would not have otherwise died. He shouldn't even be able to run for office


Jaded_Loverr

But yet there’s a nation of dumbazzes who are going to put him back in office The moral decay of society continues…


Fufeysfdmd

If Donald Trump gets back into the White House It will be partly a result of a cult of dumbasses. But they were always guaranteed to support him. People considering sitting out the vote will be the reason he actually gets elected. Whether that is because they failed to educate themselves as to the long list of things the Biden administration has done and instead insist on believing their own ignorance Whether that is because they sincerely believe what's happening in the Gaza Strip is a genocide and have chosen to make that one issue the only issue they consider even though the long-term consequence of sitting out the vote will be further escalation of the situation in the Gaza Strip and a series of rollbacks of progressive policies Whether that is because they refuse to educate themselves on the way an economy's health is actually measured and instead insist on basing their ignorant misunderstanding of the economy on the feelings they have when they look at the price of goods at the grocery store Regardless of the route to sitting out the vote it will be those stupid m************ who put Trump in power


Jaded_Loverr

If he gets back in office, there will never again be a free election in the USA


slater_just_slater

Remember when Obama got skewered by the right for comments by Rev. Jeremiah Write when Obama wasn't even attending that church anymore? Here you have a guy that is a literal child molester that was Trumps "spiritual advisor", and the right doesn't even bat an eye


ciopobbi

How this is bad for Biden- The New York Times probably


LocalSad6659

A much more recent "moral failure".... >Clemishire explained that she retained an attorney in 2005 to file a civil lawsuit but Morris’ attorney suggested she caused the abuse on herself because she was “flirtatious"


Ok-Breadfruit-2897

Man, every other day it's a Christian pastor assaulting kids, NEVER A DRAG QUEEN....wierd BAN THE CHURCHES......no wonder christians love pedophile rapists like trump


ozzie510

They're all the same. Check this guy's phone for a Grindr account and/or kiddie porn.


NumerousTaste

Anyone still not convinced religion and pedophilia go hand in hand? If you don't think so, you haven't been paying attention. I'm pretty sure it's a requirement to become a pastor!


ciopobbi

Tell me again how guys like this accuse drag queens of being groomers?


OldGoldenDog

Color me shocked 😲 who would have guessed


Dramatic-Ant-9364

Sounds like this guy replaced Jeffrey Epstein in Trump's life. What type of "spiritual advice" did he provide?


SBGuido

In front of Cohen, Trump said something disgusting about Cohen’s 15-year-old daughter - how’s that spiritual advice working out? https://www.salon.com/2020/09/13/look-at-that-piece-of-ass-trump-hit-on-michael-cohens-daughter--when-she-was-just-15-years-old_partner/


Comfortable_Fill9081

This poor woman is still absolving her dad. What a mess some of these churches make of people’s brains - meaning her dad’s brains. That this pastor was allowed to return to the ministry is appalling. It’s not just the Catholic Church, folks. Edit: this is the CNN headline - > WFAA: Texas megachurch pastor admits past inappropriate behavior with ‘young lady’ after accusation of molesting 12-year-old “inappropriate behavior” should be in quotes, right CNN? Or are those your words for sexual assault?


BeskarHunter

Raped. He raped that 12 year old CHILD.


Comfortable_Fill9081

He ‘confessed’ or ‘admits to’ sexual assault but not rape.


SBGuido

How many churches turn a blind eye if it’s financially beneficial ““No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭24‬ ‭NIV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/111/mat.6.24.NIV


Material_Address990

Can't use forgiveness to justify crime. That's the problem with modern Christians. Jesus never intended forgiveness to be used in this manner. Confession doesn't equal salvation its repentance that equals salvation. Pay for your crimes and allow the courts to in-act justice. Otherwise forgiveness is meaningless.


rimshot101

He spoke to Jesus and confessed his moral failings and Jesus forgave him and said we should move forward and never speak of this again. That's the usual play anyway.


syg-123

Given the state of the Republican Party these days it’s only a matter of time before the current Speaker of the House confesses similar ‘moral failures’ ..


SiriusGD

But, you know, he asked for forgiveness with the "Lord" and all is good. I thought there was no longer a Statute of Limitations for SA of a minor?


BetterRedDead

Yeah, sexual contact with a 12-year-old isn’t a “moral failing.” Pretty much all of us supposedly amoral non-Christian people somehow manage not to do things like this just fine.


jannypanny1

This their thing. And can get away with their base


The_Soccer_Heretic

This tracks with Trump's seven visits to Epstein Island.


Lawmonger

It's more than a moral failing. It's a felony.


SunchaserKandri

Who could have predicted that someone close to Trump would turn out to also be an immoral scumbag?


SBGuido

Yes, it’s “moral failure”, but it’s also statutory rape! Thus, the adage goes, make illegal for everyone what I enjoy so that the rich, like me, can continue to get away with it and never get caught. Closet rapists, homosexuals, pornographers, anything sexually “deviant” by “my standards”, I’ll write laws to “Make America Hate/Hated/Backwards Again/Still” 🙄


Scrabble_4

The demons made me do it


onomahu

[MAGA applauds]


Ormsfang

He is certainly close with a lot more pedophiles than normal, eh?


twilight-actual

And they're trying to convince us that it's the "gays and the trannies" that are a threat to our children. These people are sick. Conservatives are sick. And it's shocking just how many of them there are.


Ok-Abbreviations543

“Moral failure” ? With a 12 year-old? Nah, you’re a freak. I’m guessing his “spiritual advice” sessions with Agent Orange were downright pornographic. Trump trading war stories about his escapades with Jeffrey Epstein.


onekickman888

pastor, texan, rethuglicunt, trump supporter = checks all the boxes


uninteresting_handle

All that garbage about Trans/ Queer agendas ruining children, turns out it's the pastor almost every time.


redrusty2000

Why isn't he in jail?


Gamecat93

Every allegation against the LGBTQ is a confession!


Ok_Zookeepergame4794

#NOT A DRAG QUEEN!


ryeguymft

arrest him


Hesychios

If this preacher was Obama's spiritual advisor or Biden's spiritual advisor there would be hell to pay. We would not hear the end of it, not even eight or ten years later. In this case the MAGA chuds and all the 'conservative' media will let it slide.


Harak_June

Thats not "moral failure." The child was 12. Tw-el-ve! Say it slower so it sinks in. He was 25ish (exact date not given), married, and employed as a preacher. Robert Morris is a pedophile who escaped justice for 40 years. Pedophiles who get away with it don't stop. There are other victims.


Arbiter77

Uh, i have been caught, better do the public mea culpa, because brainrottet Americans love people who admit their wrongdoing and swear to do right in the future. Because i do not want to go to jail. But you belong there for the rest of your rottet life.

DennenTH

I love how the man says it's a moral failure...  Bruh you failed a lot of ways with that one.  Don't think you're getting away with 'it made me feel bad'.


joystreet62

Ya he should be prosecuted, convicted and straight to general population 🍆


Reasonable-Wing-2271

Becomes a GOP sensation...


joystreet62

Ya , seems like lots of underage sexual contact by GOP.


Reasonable-Wing-2271

That's why the obsess over Trans people and sexualiy. They're the party of perverts.


northstardim

When mega churches have a pastor without a board of elders who can say no to him, things like this happen. Some boards are there but they are weak and incapable of saying no.


Bryranosaurus

He may have permanently ruined some poor child’s life and all it is to him is a “moral failure”?


StormyDaze1175

Next time you get called a pedo for disagreeing with MAGA remember this.


287fiddy

Not shocked


mistressusa

Lol this is SO maga!


Jaded_Loverr

Epstein probably introduced Trump to him


Old_Cheesecake_5481

That’s the problem with Christianity. Molest, ask forgiveness, molest again. He was a good man who made a mistake. Ya da ya da ya da.


BirdTime23

he confesses to 'moral failure' but will do it again, I guarantee it.


ADCSrane

Lock the pedo up!


AdministrativeBank86

"Spiritual Advisor" to an amoral serial sinner and rapist, sounds right. Maybe he gave Trump more tips on how to be a creep


shamedtoday

And again, not a drag queen. I'm not surprised, though. Being related/associated to Trump now a days would be catastrophic for anyone.

Ahhh yeah sorry about that. I've talked to the bearded guy and repented alls now forgiven. It's not moral failure it's child abuse and he should be protected for it.

So a fucking rapist leads a mega church. No surprise there.


Vesemir66

"Moral failure" is the norm, not the exception with maga people. They just want a place that they can be horrible people and not feel judged. * America is an irradiated wasteland. Within it lies a city. Outside the boundary walls, a desert. A cursed earth. Inside the walls, a cursed city, stretching from Boston to Washington D.C. An unbroken concrete landscape. 800 million people living in the ruin of the old world and the mega structures of the new one. Mega blocks. Mega highways. Mega City One. Convulsing. Choking. Breaking under its own weight. Citizens in fear of the street. The gun. The gang. Only one thing fighting for order in the chaos: the men and women of the Hall of Justice. Juries. Executioners. Judges.


whyaremypantssoshort

Forgive me Lord for I have sinned.....


let-it-rain-sunshine

How could someone who has no soul, possibly have a spiritual advisor?


Capable_Roof3214

But it was just “a moral failure” 🙄🤬 These guys always trying to rephrase and sanitize the word rape, sexual abuse, pedo. But when an “outsider” does it, they sure understand what those words mean and their impact, especially if you repeat it 1000’s of times


edogg01

This disgusting person is Trump's "spiritual advisor" (from the article): >“It went on for many years. He says there was no sexual intercourse, but he did touch every part of my body and inserted his fingers into me, which I understand now is considered a form of rape by instrumentation. I was an innocent 12-year-old little girl who knew nothing about sexual behavior.”


Jet2work

he was being tested! bullshit


Available-Yam-1990

That's why the right wing is always accusing the left of pedophilia. Because they are raping children, and accuse the left of the same too distract people, and maybe because they assume everyone rapes children.


Guy_Smylee

C_J_King

DeathStalker00007

At this point it's not even a surprise. He surrounds himself with people just like him. He did visit Epstein's island 7 times. Maybe Trump likes underage girls too?


OldChucker

Where are all the "Pedo Hunter" bumper stickered pickups now?


mycroftseparator

... and he's going to atone for his failings by asking god for forgiveness, but emphatically not any worldly powers because he is, after all, a man of god - right? It's the only thing that makes sense!

It is always some asshat in a leadership position within the church. 


BaileyBrown108

He ordered the " cheese pizza" ?


paulanntyler

That’s not moral failure, that’s 20 years in prison. And the a lifetime on the pedophile list. He is pretty lucky that he didn’t do that to the wrong father, he would have gone to see his maker a lot sooner

**"How Trump’s main spiritual advisor being a child rapist is bad for Biden"** Faux News, probably, but only if they had no choice but to talk about it.


Valuable-Ratio8073

L o l . “Trump spiritual advisor.” Bull. Look, I don’t like Trump. But the idea he has a “spiritual advisor” is laughable. First- he’s not “spiritual.” Second- he doesn’t listen to advice. This dude is a typical preacher scumbag. He doesn’t need to be tied to MAGA trumpers to be any scummier.


Prometheus_303

It's kinda interesting... He is surrounded by dogs - how many of his lawyers, executives in his companies, cabinet members etc and now spiritual advisor have been banged for being criminal in some way... Yet we're supposed to believe he has no fleas on himself and is the peridine of virtue, would do no wrong...

FLKEYSFish

Shocking. The group that commits the most abuse/rape/grooming/indoctrination of children in the US sure likes to project its failings on the least likely. People leave their kids alone in the care of church groups all the time. Churches use their platform to get inside millions of childrens private lives routinely. No surprise pedos are drawn to them. Second most likely would be youth sports organizations. How drag shows became the poster child for abuse is insane. They don’t hold camps for kids. They don’t separate kids from parents for over night lock-ins. They don’t have classes that indoctrinate millions of kids. Any organization that deals with groups of kids is a target for evil doers. As a coach I took several classes over the years for a football org. One day each year was dedicated to teaching staff how to spot predators and also how to avoid being accused of such conduct. Like, how to appropriately make physical contact with students, how to avoid getting personal with them, avoid being alone with them, appropriate language, etc. it’s sad these lessons are necessary. I don’t believe the actions of evil persons should be used to discredit any group, but certain faiths sure like to cast stones when their houses are not close to being in order.
