CNN has an article about a retired detective who is posing as a tween girl online in order to draw out and bust child molesters.

"The latest defendant is Allen Kauffman, 63, who resigned as mayor of Collins and pastor of Temple Lot Church after he was arrested January 11 at home in his small town about 110 miles southeast of Kansas City."

Generally speaking, the more self-righteous the person is, the bigger the skeletons that come out of his closet. It’s funny that Ted Haggard in Colorado got busted buying gay sex, but in the end, who really gives a fuck? It’s two adults having consensual sex . . . granted, for money, but you know . . . whatever. It’s really only even newsworthy because one of the consenting gay men is a giant hypocrite who uses his podium to preach anti-gay rhetoric while giving rim-jobs to his crank dealer behind his congregation’s back.

But this Missouri guy preys on kids. He got busted trying to solicit sex from a 60-year old man posing as a 13-year old girl online. omg lol k im laghing @ him i hope cops beat hm up lol

He’s a scumbag, check. But, adding pathos to all this skeeve, he’s a religious scumbag who tells other people how to live their lives and preaches about morality and "family values."

From the Temple Lot Church website (emphasis mine):

"The (Temple Lot Church) is… the true Church restored in the last days by Christ himself to prepare the world for His final return . . . the Church of Christ posesses true priesthood authority and spiritual gifts given by Christ for the purpose of spreading His Gospel to all ‘kindreds, nations, tongues and people.’"

These are the kinds of dumb rabbit-holes literalist religion sends you down into. So Christ himself gave Chester the Molester "true preisthood authority"? Really? Gee, wouldn’t that would make Jesus a fucking moron?

And is "true priesthood authority" as good as "real ultimate power"? Because if not, I’m OUT, bible boy.

The more of this stuff I hear about, the more I think that the people who are bible-literalist Christians only come in two categories: hiding something, or trying to cover up some personality flaw. Get some therapy, let go of any literal interpretation of metaphor (it’s only going to lead to neurosis), have a glass of wine, some consensual sex (with ADULTS, you freaks) and get on with being limited, human, ignorant and a tiny, tiny speck in an otherwise unimportant part of a massive universe that is 100% without any meaning at all.
