I doubt he regrets anything. Hehad sex with herhe raped a underage teenager for 2 years then had sex with her for 5 morestarting when she was 16and he called it "adultery." That's not regret. I also doubt she's the only victim.

Accepted. Do these changes work for you?
I doubt he regrets anything. He raped and manipulated her for 7 years and dismissed it as "adultery." That's not regret. I also doubt she's the only victim.
How do you not drag that fucker out hand him to the cops?
So no prayer circle for the (actual) victim. Ten to one she is basically shunned from this church after telling her story.
I consider myself a Christian, but the vast majority of organized religion is a confidence game.
Forgiveness. It's a bulletproof shield. If they ask for forgiveness, they can avoid God's judgment. Meanwhile, they can project those forgiven sins onto their political enemies in order to gain the political power they need to judge and punish others here on earth.
It's quite sinister how Christians present themselves as victims of sin ("the Devil"). Plenty of people in that congregation see that rapist pastor as a victim when he's a perpetrator.
But it's not isolated to religion. There's not much difference between this and Elon Musk or any other powerful man claiming to be a victim when women come forward about his sexual harassment.
I mean I understand forgiveness, but that is not the time for forgiveness. I'll try to force myself to forgive him once he's behind bars for multiple years. Beat his ass and drag him out of the church.
Forgiveness on one hand, destroying due process on the other
That part made me extra mad. Pray for and forgive the sinner, sure, but how about some sympathy, prayer and support for the rape victim. The guy didn't even confess to the right sin and the sheep are falling over them selves to support him. Disgusting.
They’d be all for beating his ass and throwing him in jail if he was a Democrat or an immigrant or Black and not part of their own community of faith.
