Summary
In October 2020, Samuel Paty, a French teacher, was murdered following a false accusation by a 13-year-old student who claimed he’d shown anti-Muslim bias. The girl had made up the story to cover the fact she had been suspended from school for bad behaviour.
In reality, Paty’s lesson on free speech included optional viewing of Charlie Hebdo cartoons, but he hadn’t excluded anyone. The student’s story triggered a social media campaign led by her father, who, along with others, is now on trial for inciting hatred and connections to Paty’s attacker, an 18-year-old radicalized Chechen.
The school will be named the Samuel Paty School from next year.
I do not love an organisation. I love Jesus Christ. This is irrelevant to me.
Ah yes, the classic child-abuser-apologist line that every “christian” brings out when confronted about the abuse of their revered leaders that they absolutely refuse to condemn before they go back to church to give money directly to the abusers every week.
Do you love Jesus or have convinced yourself that you love him because you are so afraid of hell? Very Stockholm syndrome-esque. Take kids during their developmental years and tell them that “people” go to hell and are tortured forever unless they love Jesus and follow sky-daddy’s rules (and by extension, the rules of the church). Then they are told that over and over until they are brought to a special ceremony to declare their love.
Or I guess you have never once been to church and never a single time been told that people go to hell if they don’t love Jesus and accept him into their hearts? I guess you just read the entire bible without any external influence at all and converted after your brain was fully developed after 25 or so, again, with nobody telling you about it. But I guess when you lie, you can just ask Daddy for forgiveness and you get off with no consequences! Tons of harm, no foul.
Either way, I guess I am glad because it is the only thing stopping you from rampaging around murdering, raping people and animals, stealing, torturing, maiming, abusing, and whatever else you apparently so strongly desire to do.
My church doesn’t have child abusers that I’m aware of. If they did, I’d leave. I left a different church, partially because they paid licencing fees to Hillsong, which had several scandals.
God issues justice, and all are sinful. Only Jesus can save you. Not a Church or following rules. Church is where I receive the sacraments, meet with other believers, worship, and help build God’s kingdom.
That’s contradictory. You were upset with God’s justice, now you’re upset with His mercy.
If you want to suffer the consequences of your actions, you are welcome to do so. But don’t act like He didn’t take it on for you.
