Poker is a game of skill therefor not a sin. Pretty sure child porn is though.

 

[crisdecuba]

Tell me if this feels like an apt analogy:

The Catholic Church : child molesters ::
Donald Trump : white supremacists

 

[GurgleBot20]

God:"Those poker losses were revenge for the child porn....and gambling."

 

[Nepenthe]

This excuse is literally incomprehensible from every angle.

 

[Alcotholic]

God loves child pornography. That's what I got out of that statement.

 

[Emperor_Uriel]

Kind of loses all credibility when he has a previous molestation incident.

I know it's impossible, but I really wish we could scrub all CP off of the web. The fact that it's actually a lucrative business for the producers is an issue that desperately needs to be tackled, as does the mental illness that leads a person to have sexually explicit desires towards children.

I hope science evolves to the point where we can identify what genetic or mental defect makes someone a pedophile, and allows us to correct that defect so these people can lead normal lives without being a threat to their community.

 

[Beer Monkey]

Obviously he was going to plant the child porn on God's computer and then call the authorities on God. The perfect frame.

 

[blugbox]

Also, if this man is even aware of the god he is following, he should know that god knows his whole life already... like every decision he will ever make. You can't get revenge if he knows you're going to do it before you do.

What a complete piece of garbage

 

[Supha_Volt]

What the hell... This doesn't even make sense! How the hell did he come to the conclusion that this would be revenge against God?

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

At that point, why not just own that you're a sicko?

 

[MIMIC]

This is the craziest thing I have ever heard. Like...I don't even want to try and unwrap how this could possibly be considered "revenge" against God since it would undermine and trivialize the reprehensibleness of the crime.

 

[Sorcerer]

I thought gambling was a sin itself. Why would God smile upon him for playing poker? What piece of shit.

 

[HiiiLife]

Lots of misguided hypocritical shits in these churches.

 

[Neuromancer]

Also, why did he only get 2 years for possessing child porn? That seems like misdemeanor levels of punishment compared to what the fuck it should be.

Federally there is no mandatory minimum sentence for possession. So a judge can literally give a person who has been found guilty 0 days in jail. In many states it's even more lax than that.

 

[BumRush]

That'll teach Him...

 

[Gnome Scat]

Suuuure.

 

[Shaanyboi]

That's one helluva defense...

 

[Pinko Marx]

Enacting revenge on a god that has been shown to be /fiercely/ vengeful. Great idea bud.

 

[Man with Knife]

Guy was pretty tilted

 

[Dynomutt]

Let me get this straight he was mad that he was not prospering from sin (guard from sources of greed) so he committed another sin in retaliation? What....

Between this and that Paula White comment religious folks are holding L's.

Jesus talking to God right now: Do I have to go back?

 

[Mammoth Jones]

Should be jailed for life. Such a fucking joke of a sentence. Sick fuck.

 

[Aselith]

How would he reward God if he won?

Spoiler

Also CP

 

[Brandon F]

 

[Van Bur3n]

"Witness my child pornography, God! Know that I condemn you for allowing that three of a kind to be all for naught!"

 

[Future]

Sadly, this kind of stupid spin is commonplace today within political groups and it almost seems normal to read this, and assume large factions of people are accepting it

 

[Robot Pants]

worst priest ever

 

[_Ryo_]

This man is an evil child molesting, child pornography viewing piece of trash.
And all of his excuses are 100% bullshit.
How the fuck can he only get 11 1/2 months

 

[Cymbal Head]

triggering God by toiling on the sabbath

 

[TissueBox]

Mister that is not revenge. That is called sounding dumb to people over the entire religious spectrum.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

can we just take a moment to recognize how incredible a name "Jim Goodness" is

 

[Vermillion]

Why would God care what you jack off too? If you wanted revenge on God, wouldn't it make more sense to become a Satanist?

Or have consensual gay sex with an adult.

Or hell, consensual *pre-marital* sex with an adult of either sex.

 

[Imperfected]

Covetous, perverse, vengeful, deceitful, and not even slightly penitent.

That's, uh, an impressive go at the sinning hat trick there, father.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Tell me if this feels like an apt analogy:

Probably a more capable entity than trump, some Corp that could be able to keep it hush hush. Like it is not the church making it public themselves, but people bringing out to public light. Gotta take effort into account.

 

[ultratruman]

Go to prison please

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Because the world fucking sucks..

 

[ZedLeppelin006]

Well that's an excuse for the ages.

 

[Officerrob]

He should have prayed to have come up with a better excuse (not that there is one)

 

[FlyinJ]

Kind of loses all credibility when he has a previous molestation incident.

What makes you think he didn't lose a poker game before the previous incident?

 

[buttery fistful]

God's plan

 

[Imperfected]

What makes you think he didn't lose a poker game before the previous incident?

Maybe he was punishing god for the hangover he had after getting piss-drunk and swinging on a cop.

 

[Saganator]

Why would God care what you jack off too? If you wanted revenge on God, wouldn't it make more sense to become a Satanist?

It's just a BS excuse. If he wasn't a priest, then he'd lose his access to trusting little boys to molest.

Seriously, fuck the catholic church. The fact that they can keep getting away with sweeping this stuff under a rug confirms there is no god.

 

[CadetMahoney]

The Church, full of pedos.

Obviously he was going to plant the child porn on God's computer and then call the authorities on God. The perfect frame.

lol

Go to prison please

this.

 

[JettDash]

Will he believe that his upcoming prison sentence is a punishment from God?

 

[Risible]

.

 

[BenjiGAF]

You sure showed God, huh

 

[Neuromancer]

Did Pete Townshend ever release that book? Seems he's been working on it for years now.

Ha. Well I had a guy claim it in one of my cases too. Because it wouldn't have been a legally appropriate excuse even if it had been true (it wasn't), he and his lawyer were expressly restricted from mentioning it during the trial and he was found guilty on all counts.

Because the world fucking sucks..

Considering

Gugliotta had previously been suspended from ministry in 2003 for allegedly molesting a teenage boy in the 1980s. But because the incident occurred when he was still a layman and before he entered the priesthood, the Archdiocese of Newark ruled he could not be punished and quietly reinstated him in 2004.

The sentence is a joke. No shock above the Church thought "no punishment" and reinstatement was the right move.

Honestly, I'd have thought a quick call to the Pope this time around would have allowed him to be smuggled to the Vatican so he could 'retire' and avoid the law/this short sentence altogether.

 

[Frozenprince]

Uh.

Pretty sure taking revenge on god isn't part of the sacrament.
