UtahTexan Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 This board is very patient. I was banned again from a Catholic Forum called "Non-Catholic Religions" because they can't handle truth. They can say whatever they want....be as rude as they want...call people names, etc....and it is fine. If I answer THEIR question about the Apostasy honestly, I get banned.....

Again, creepy. Creepy, perhaps. Also possibly true, perhaps. I guess I'm just on another level of maturity when it comes to discussing the severe topics. Nothing bugs me.

Again, creepy. Exactly. We aren't psychologists, criminologists, or any kind of expert. Speculating on sexual crimes and their possible biological, sociological, religious, or any other number of myriad motivations serves no real purpose.

Some subjects should bug us.

Then we will never get to the bottom of things or find solutions and we will just have the same old boring thread discussions on gay marriage, polygamy, and Internet doubts.

It is often hard to NOT be offended....one thing I have always told myself is that I refuse to let the person trying to offend me to have ANY control over me and my feelings. Sometimes, it actually works....lol
Calm Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I am certainly not perfect in that arena. What I like about the message board is that I can take all the time I need to get myself under control before posting. 2
VideoGameJunkie Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Hey at least I didn't bring up the story of Bishop Warren Snow from Manti in the 1800s.

Sigh You have been rather insistent about this theory of yours and are unable to let it go even when a thread gets closed. Whether you were suggesting it as "the" reason or "a" reason, there is no truth in your theory and your desire to offer it as a possibility is harmful and wrong.

You can't prove either that it wasn't a factor or influence.
Calm Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Please go find any studies that show being taught to be chaste is an influence for rape. If it is a common factor, given how much rapists have been studied in the past, you should be able to find a study demonstrating this. 1

These people have to act chaste too and it results in them raping women and young boys and calling it a "sexual emergency". Chastity is mandatory in Islam and look at what they're all doing as a result of that. Edited March 3, 2016 by VideoGameJunkie
