What are some excuses towards religion that people make when they want or don’t want something?
This guy for example. He uses his religion to excuse grooming a 19 year old girl from when she was 11.
I recall a pastor bitching at a morning breakfast about another pastor in the town and his manipulative behavior. (One of the things that stuck in my head and helped to wake me from my Christian delusion.)
I don’t recall the exact words, but one pastor wanted to advertise to the congregation of another. I was a member of Assemblies of God and I think some Baptist Church up the street was going to hold a revival. The pastor of the church wanted all ‘good Christians’ to attend.
So my pastor was bitching. And his cronies were hopping on board with sarcastic remarks.
My Pastor: 'The guy told me “The Lord moved me to talk to you.” as if I would not be able to tell him ‘No.’ I hate all these pastors running about ‘the Lord moved me to ask you for this, ask you for that.’
Someone: 'You should have told him, isn’t that wonderful! The Lord moved me to ask you for a new bus for our church.
And the conversation went on for a bit.
