Richard Dawkins is fine with "mild" Pedophilia

Outrages, and shows that atheist don't have a moral compass:

In a recent interview with the Times magazine, Richard Dawkins attempted to defend what he called “mild pedophilia,” which, he says, he personally experienced as a young child and does not believe causes “lasting harm.”

Dawkins went on to say that one of his former school masters “pulled me on his knee and put his hand inside my shorts,” and that to condemn this “mild touching up” as sexual abuse today would somehow be unfair.

“I am very conscious that you can’t condemn people of an earlier era by the standards of ours. Just as we don’t look back at the 18th and 19th centuries and condemn people for racism in the same way as we would condemn a modern person for racism, I look back a few decades to my childhood and see things like caning, like mild pedophilia, and can’t find it in me to condemn it by the same standards as I or anyone would today,” he said.
Plus, he added, though his other classmates also experienced abuse at the hands of this teacher, “I don’t think he did any of us lasting harm.”
Child welfare experts responded to Dawkins’ remarks with outrage — and concern over their effect on survivors of abuse.

 Now, let's see how his peers defend pedophilia.

Is your tablet/iPad replacing your Bible in the Pulpit and at church.

The people at The Gospel Coalition (don't get me wrong, there are some nice folks there, but sometime they come up with the most amusing things!) are bringing this issue to the forefront.

How many of you have fallen into the "sin" of not taking your bible to the pulpit, but your tablet/iPad? Matthew Barret, one of the folks over that TGC, has blogged how this may be a detriment to our churches today.

Michael Bird, from Ridley College, has answered with a bit of sarcasm, but facing the fact that the introduction of any theology into the church, causes bad taste and rejection.

From a personal view, is like those churches that don't allow any musical instruments at their service, yet preach with iPads, or have the latest types of sitting at church.

Enjoy the readings.
