Bill Cosby's Pudding Pop & Other Sexual Assault Stuff

[Jorge]

A lot of (very understandable) attention being given to Weinstein this morning, but a major issue has unfolded this week that's been getting comparatively less attention involving Paige Patterson and the Southern Baptist Convention, which as the second largest organized religious denomination in the US means it's plenty newsworthy.

Patterson, until this week the president of the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, one of the denomination's key theological schools, had been under fire for a while regarding cretinous attitudes towards women in general, but a story broke earlier in the week about how he had prevented a seminary student from reporting her rape over a decade ago. Patterson's been made 'president emeritus' rather suddenly in what clearly seems to be a whitewash, but it's very notable that Al Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and a major figure in his own right, has written a piece all but saying worse is due to come.

This was the key story in the Washington Post earlier in the week: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/act ... 0e82d30232

Here's Mohler's piece: https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/20 ... metoo.html

And here's where things stand of right now -- Patterson's attempt at exculpation, along with how some clown of a pastor tried to tell a stupid joke in defending him: https://baptistnews.com/article/paige-p ... ee-action/

That's all very interesting but are we really just going to gloss over the fact that he is standing right next to A GHOST?

[Jorge]

A cool, baseball-cap wearing ghost?

[tragabigzanda]

FUCK ICE

[Jorge]

Here we have actual, tangible evidence of a ghostly apparition, effectively proving that there is life beyond our bodily deaths, possibly even a God, and all we can talk about is some rapes he may have done? Ridiculous

[Jorge]

I want to play along but can't not see his hand holding the hat.

It's easy if you imagine it's the ghost's hand

[tragabigzanda]

FUCK ICE

In other news, Bill Clinton's response to a reporter's question re: Monica Lewinsky were pretty awful. What a chode.

Excruciating and tone deaf.

[Norah]

Guess what we're talking about on the ol' am radio tonight?

FUCK ICE

Uh oh, someone didn't adequately prostrate themselves before the mob. I like how she sucks a married guy's dick, but somehow he owes her an apology.
