LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

I believe Donna Provencher.

The one really great thing about #metoo is that it has broken a dam (and a damn) that needed broken.

When a bunch of women say, “That guy preyed on us” it is common sense to believe the women, not the predator.

When a dozen people with nothing in common say, “That’s the guy who robbed the bank we were in and pointed a gun at our head” we don’t speculate about why they are conspiring against an innocent and how much Jewish Soros money they are getting for their lies.  We take it for granted that normal people tell the truth, particularly when they have nothing to gain and everything to lose.

I believe Donna Provencher.  I believe Juanita Broaddrick.  I believe Trump’s victims.  I believe Roy Moore’s victims.  It’s time for Christians, who are supposed to side with the alien, the orphan, and the widow and not the powerful oppressor, to take the visible-from-space right side in such matters.

Meanwhile, a bunch of Christianists in Alabama whine that male predators are the real victims, women are the true predators, and we all have to attack the victims and defend the wolves. Black is white. Freedom is slavery. Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia. Our god promises us all the kingdoms of this world if we will only bow down and worship him. In the beginning was the Lie.

Memorize this verse, you filthy lying “pastors”: Romans 2:24

Then learn this fact:

“National figures are 20% of US women are raped at some point in their lives while 1 out of every 71 men is also raped. (1.4%). Rape is SEVEN times more common an experience for American women than for men. Someone – 99% of the time it is men – is doing the raping.” – Sherry Weddell

Your day is passing.  Good riddance.
