“We’re doing this for your own good”. This is the way the totalitarian state always starts,but misery and chaos is always the outcome. The speed of this transition is breathtaking.

‘the regulator will start enforcing the Online Safety Act’s illegal content codes, requiring social media companies to find and remove content such as child sexual abuse material.The illegal content codes relate to material such as child sexual exploitation and abuse, terrorism, hate crimes, content encouraging or assisting suicide, and fraud.’

What material are you unhappy about losing?

bill we get it, the church has been abusing young boys and girls for centuries and the senior church members have happily either ignored it or in some cases endorsed it by doing nothing about it when they knew it was taking place. Of course your against it because your faith goes along with it and has done for centuries but hopefully change in the law will stamp it out.

All crimes are there ‘for our own good’. If it’s a scary totalitarian state to have laws at all we’d have chaos under anarchy. No murder, fraud, theft, rape or other crimes could be punished because laws ‘for our own good’ is apparently totalitarianism.

This doesn’t mean that this law is good, but arguing against enacting laws because laws that consider how others are treated are evil communism is a daft argument. I am also not inclined to take anyone seriously about totalitarian states coming when they are support the ever growing authoritarian rhetoric and rulings coming from the USA.

Do ya reckon Catholic priests said the same thing to their young victims when they were sexually abusing them after choir practice?, did God tell the priests to say it?

The child sex abuse in various churches is and was a horrendous affair and one which the culprits used the power gained through their religious position to manipulate trust and browbeat any concerns with how’ moral’ they are. However, it isn’t the only source for child abuse, as seen with football clubs for example. I find BPG to be very wrongheaded, but it’s unfair to use this against him or others here. I don’t think it’s that relevant and just seems an excuse to attack him and others for their faith.

Also, he is most definitely not a Catholic.

Just pointing out the facts about certain actions by people with Christian faith and why someone with faith wouldn’t want it stamping out with a law change. Been plenty of online abuse too from people with faith and with others without faith too of course so why would they want nothing done about it if it was possible?

[Siderite]

There are many in the upper echelons of religious institutions who have covered up and decided, quite immorally, that they’d rather try and protect the reputation of the church by hushing it and hoping everyone stays quiet. This is not unique to religion, but has been a common trait of all sex abuse scandals. There is a hypocrisy here from these religious people who preach morality, but I don’t see how it’s relevant to bpg’s post. Bpg has always stated a dislike of the C o E and Catholic church, for one, so would say that he agrees that these institutions are misguided, lukewarm or not true Christians.

Siderite-“bpg has alaways stated a dislike of the COE and Catholic(Roman) Church.”
The reason I disagree with their position is because they don’t preach the true Gospel.
Charles Spurgeon in his book “All of Grace” wrote the true Gospel message :
“ Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners:forgiveness is for the guilty.
Do not attempt to touch yourself up and make yourself something other than you really are;but come as you are to Him who justifies the UNGODLY.
A great artist some short time ago had painted a part of the corporation of the city in which he lived,and he wanted,for historic purposes,to include in his picture certain characters well known in the town.A crossing-sweeper,unkempt ,ragged,filthy,was known to everybody,and there was a suitable place for him in the picture.The artist said to ragged and rugged individual,” I will pay you well if you will come down to my studio and let me take your likeness.” He came round in the morning,but he was soon sent about his business;for he had washed his face,and combed his hair,and donned a respectable suit of clothes.He was needed as a beggar,and was not invited in any other capacity.Even so,the Gospel will receive you into it’s halls if you come as a sinner,not otherwise.Wait not for reformation,but come at once for SALVATION. God justifies the UNGODLY,and that takes YOUup where you now are:it meets you in your worst estate.
Come in your disabilities.I mean,come to your Heavenly Father in all your sin and sinfulness.Come to Jesus just as you are,leprous,filthy,naked,neither fit to live nor fit to die.Come,you that are the sweepings of creation;come,though you hardly dare to hope for anything but death.Come,though despair is brooding over you,pressing upon your bosom like a horrible nightmare.Come and ask the Lordto justify another UNGODLY ONE.Why should HE not?Come for this great MERCY of God is meant for such as you are.”
Romans 6:32 “For the wages of sin is death,but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
This is the Gospel message ,turn to Christ alone and put your Faith in Christ Alone.
In your quiet moments reach out to God,he is rich in mercy.

Why didn’t he just take a photograph?

Was it because cameras hadn’t been invented in the 2nd century CE?

I know the NHS is stretched, but help is available for him. God is poor in his mercy, just view a few minutes of any news media, not that it’ll be his fault*.
