Here are the "people of faith" Bill Frist sees as his base

Isn't it funny how it's never pro-choice secular progressives who are arrested for crap like this:

The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's office has broken up what they call a "child sex abuse cult." Three members of a Ponchatoula church have been arrested for allegedly raping children, and in some cases, having sex with animals. Some of the kids are as young as two years old.

The Tangipahoa Sheriff's office says the alleged abuse occurred two years ago. Sheriff Daniel Edwards says his office began investigating the Hosanna Church more than a month ago, after getting information from a mother of an alleged victim. The big break in the case came Monday when the church's minister turned himself in to the Livingston Parish Sheriff's office, and allegedly named names, one of whom was a Sheriff's deputy.

Sheriff's officials say certain church members allegedly raped children and animals in a cult-like fashion at the Hosanna Church. A nieghbor says when he found out about it, "It surprised me. But I wouldn't put it pass them. They were weird looking people to begin with."

Livingston Sheriff's Detective Stan Carpenter says church minister Louis Lamonica turned himself in on Monday and admitted to having oral and anal sex with kids for years... and that's not all.

"He was basically showing the kids how to have sexual relations at a very young age. That is just something children at that age, they shouldn't have to know anything about that," says Carpenter.

Lamonica also allegedly named other church members in the child sex ring. They include Austin Bernard and Chris Labat. Labat is a patrol deputy with the Tangipahoa Sheriff's office.

Livingston Sheriff Daniel Edwards says, "It certainly doesn't make me happy to be a human being to have fellow human beings that are capable of doing what is alleged to be done here. To have a member of this Sheriff's department involved in any way is disheartening."

How many others were allegedly abused at the church? No one knows. But investigators have faith more arrests will be made as they uncover what really happened inside the church..


But hey, it's a church, and they're fundies, so Jesus has forgiven them, right?

I'll tell you what: Any religion that has as its center a doctrine that says it's perfectly OK for people to do shit like this as long as they say, "Yup, Jesus, I believe God sent you to do time for anything I damn well decide to do" is not a religion I want any part of.

This is "heartland values"? This is what a "Christian nation" looks like? This is why we are supposed to want to ban gay marriage? So that good, "Christian" guys like this can go raping two-year-olds? Fuck that, and fuck you, Frist, and DeLay, and Bush, all the rest of you sanctimonious Christofascist American Taliban assholes. You're all a bunch of perverts and closet cases who hate yourselves and your own bizarro urges so much you can't imagine a world in which people don't need Jeebus in order to behave like human beings. Mote, beam, eye, etc.
