Christianity is neither mainstream nor based on historical fact. And as a 'moral authority' it's riddled with inconsistency and questionable edicts and violence. It has no place in a conversation about society.
Worried is all in a tizzy over how bad Youngstown's 'justice system' is! Isn't aware that the system operates under the same guidelines and laws set at the state and federal level. Worried also wants the cop punished NOW. There's something called a labor agreement, and in that I'm sure it says paid leave until after a trial. And, best of all, a new springtime love affair is blooming between HenryVII and RoKscout. I love how forums such as these are run by emotion, not logic and reason and facts. And really, considering what they're up against, Ytown has a pretty decent police force.
lilduff, You may have taken my comment as a personal attack, but it was in fact just an introduction of some science/logic here. It's true that people living double lives usually do so until a victim speaks up: they are not found out by someone else's intuition. Read about BTK. Or other people, especially sexual predators. They are way better at making you feel comfortable with them than you think. And its a good thing that we can't send people to jail on 'intuition' or 'I have a weird feeling.' There's a reason for that. It's not scientific, thus not provable as true. BUT in this case you have a victim who has nothing to gain by coming forward, and by the types of comments in this forum, lots to lose, especially as she is being villified by all the good people who trust their feelings.
Lesthanzero, you have swallowed the big lie: that those who can not afford insurance have brought it totally on themselves, or are in some way not living right. (it is true in some cases, not the majority) While it's true driving is a privilege, that doesn't mean it's an honor awarded only to deserving people. Next time you go to a fast food restaurant, look at how many adults are working there. Or the plastic company that pays people 8 dollars an hour: these folks go to work, but insurance is often a burden to them. I don't advocate government paying for auto insurance. I am just trying to be openminded and compassionate, not rigid and cold.

Say the words 'religion' or 'christian' in the newspaper and the fringe comes out of the woodwork. How dare you insult my Santa Claus?

once or 13 ... what does it matter? I don't think that police should have to deal with anyone's dog when they are pursuing suspects.

You know who else was a selfless laborer for his church? He was also a community pillar?
The BTK killer.
Folks are just so sure that they'd get a 'weird feeling' if something was going on. wrong.

I love this: every time religion is involved, folks line up to show their ignorance.
