There have been no accusations of him still committing the crimes, to my knowledge. He did molest three girls in 199_ (not sure on the year). He had pictures of tortured, raped and murdered children. His brother is also a pedophile and in 2002, the apartment they shared was full of toys and dolls for kids, including 100 barbie dolls (used to lure in kids). The article above says 5000 pictures, but the police complaint was for tens of thousands of pictures. His brother wrote a letter to "Chuck" (nobody knows who that is) stating that Pedophilia should be legal, so that pedophiles don't have to kill their victims.

He's a dangerous person and he belong behind bars.

I never liked him and I admit to feeling Schadenfreude when I first heard this. But then I read the descriptions of the crimes that he committed and was horrified. Speaking as a father, it's unthinkable that my kids have to share a world with predators like him. I applaud Mingle2's administration for their handling of this and the preventative steps they have put into place.

I was just being a wise acre.

We have absolutely no reason to believe that.

They walked, talked, fed themselves, named animals and who knows what else. Eve had a conversation with the Serpent, which didn't sound like a toddler speaking at all. Then Adam tried to defend his actions when God questioned him. Nothing at all like toddlers. How much time passed between Genesis 2 and Genesis 3? We don't know. How intelligent and knowledgeable where Adam and Eve at creation? We have no idea.

Simple fix for that: Make the loser pay the winner's legal fees.

Be careful what you say about them, they have several members who are lawyers and they are very litigious.

I love this show. His death is a crying shame. Him and his brother seemed to be very close, I'm sure he's hurting really bad right now.

She can file a counter suit regardless of if there is evidence to support the Pastor's suit or not.

That's kind of what lawsuits are for, so that both sides can bring out all of their evidence and a (hopefully) impartial judge will determine the truth.

Oh my! You must be the first person in the history of the world to ever ridicule the belief in God! You are so original. Your parents must be so proud.

Yep.

No.

Do you think that Christians should have to get your approval before filing a lawsuit?

There is a difference between a bad review and defamation.

The purpose of the civil court is to determine if there is proof of a crime.

I said "I didn't say she lied. "

Let me explain it to you, since you aren't getting this.

1) She posted negative comments on her blog.
2) The Pastor felt that the comments were defamatory, so he sued.

What part don't you understand? Do you feel that a church or a pastor shouldn't have the right to defend their good names?

I don't know what is in his complaint, I haven't read it. I don't even know if it's available to read online. What I do know is that the validity of his complaint will be determined in a court of law, not in the court of public opinion.

I explained this already in the first post I made (which your replied to). She's being sued for defamation. Your freedom of speech does not give you license to defame other people or institutions.

So you are assuming the following:

1) The pastor is a paid pastor
2) That he owns a Mercedes
3) That he has a mansion
4) Somehow, it's bad for a pastor to have a nice car and house.
5) If the church wins the lawsuit, he will personally receive the money.

I think you might be a little biased on this...

I didn't say she lied.
