I was brought up as a Catholic. I attended church a LOT. I was an altar server. Every school I ever went to was a Catholic school. I had to take religious studies as part of my education. I still can’t make it through an entire sentence that Kanicbird writes. He redefines sentence structure in the same way that Jazz redefined music. ---

This isn’t really more offensive than when he said date rape is the victim’s fault. [QUOTE=kanicbird] This is different then what we call ‘date rape’ which the victim is usually the one who caused the rape. It is the use of spiritual power to free the person raped of sexual guilt, as it is transferred to the one doing the raping, but that person is spiritually controlled by the other as they have submitted to them. In this way the one raped can free themselves as the other person bears the weight of the sin. [/QUOTE] Honestly I take **kanicbird** ’s opinions on spirituality and sexuality about as seriously as I take my schizophrenic uncle’s opinions on the U.S. government. To be offended is to miss the point. This is not someone remotely grounded in reality. ---

To be offended is to miss the point. This is not someone remotely grounded in reality. I’d say kanicbird’s take on rape is far more offensive than his take on child molestation which inspired this thread. The latter, at least, has the veneer of human feeling and compassion, while the the former is vomitous, misogynstic, and evil. ---

Wait, what? He said that? He actually \*\*said \*\*that _a rape victim somehow magically forced their rapist to violate them so that they didn’t have to feel bad about having sex_? I have not words. ---

You see, I didn’t read the fault part into the original quote. If kanicbird truly believes that rape victims are guilty, and this was not extremely horribly poor wording, then, well, I’ll be praying for him (Matthew 5:44). ---

It’s a pity I’m not actually a super-villain, isn’t it? Because I could TOTALLY use that miserable, hatefilled, shit-eating misogynistic fuckwit to torture the innocent captives in my dungeons. ---

He has also stated, on record, that there is no such thing as spousal rape – that it is _impossible_, as a married couple are literally one, and thus it would be like raping yourself. And of course, you can’t do that. :rolleyes: (Didn’t he also say that he has seen demons literally? That they have been disguised as children and animals, but he has recognized them? The man needs psychiatric help. Seriously. And no, I’m NOT diagnosing the guy or playing doctor. I’m basing my opinions on what he’s said) ---

As **kanicbird** ’s last vileness in my GD thread make evident, he is misogynistic, hateful scum. ---
