This man obviously does not fear his god. Nobody would risk Hell if they thought it were real, and an affair (DURING the time when he is prosecuting another man for a similar crime) shows he did not take that threat seriously.

Nah, not atheists. They just have a “get out of jail free card”. That’s what’s great about Christianity ? no one has be accountable for anything as long as they repent. That?s what great about heaven ? it places child molesters and their victims together for eternity. What bliss.

Godammit, he was <i>praying</i> the whole time he was screwing this 20 something hottie.

“There were times when I was praying and when I felt I was doing things that were wrong. But I was still doing them,” he said in the interview. “I look back on those as periods of weakness and periods that I’m … not proud of.”

It’s a story about a Miss Isreal contestant who was forced to drop out of the competition due to “honor killing” threats by members of her own family. That part is disturbing, but not altogether uncommon.

The parts of the story that really piqued my interest are those that discuss this obscure religious group to which she belongs, called the “Druze”.

From the story: “The tenets of the religion are kept secret not just from outsiders but also from the majority of the Druze, who are known as juhal (ignorant ones) and must accept the faith on trust.”

Am I alone in having never heard of this group? How ironic is it that they actually have a specific word to apply to their followers that means ignorant ones?
