kombatboots, I agree that I'd love to live in about 50% of that society, minus the draft, minus the racism, sexism, and fear of imminent nuclear threat;)

Colt, CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A RELIGION, and I imagine Stiff is a Christian, like myself. One does not have to be religious to believe in our Lord and savior. And AskNot, although I was not yet born in the 50's, I myself would love to live in that time, when people had morals, they were responsible for their actions, and there was still a "family unit" producing more successful young adults. Yes I'd give anything to go back to a time where the Christians outnumbered people like the two pieces of trash mentioned in this news article.

“Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation - at least not just,” Obama said. “We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation and a Buddhist nation and a Hindu nation and a nation of non-believers.”

In the same speech, Obama said, “Americans are a religious people,” noting that “90 percent of us believe in God” and cited a statistic that said 38% of Americans call themselves “committed Christians.”

“I think we make a mistake when we fail to acknowledge the role of faith in people’s lives, in the lives of the American people,” Obama said. “I think it’s time we joined a debate about how to reconcile faith with our modern pluralistic society.”

Stiffy, just move back to 1950, so you can be happy in your ideal racist, sexist, religion bigoted world you crave so hard for. We live in a changing ethnic society, better get on board, or move.

Stiffy, you using the platform of this tragedy to solely mock the POTUS, does disrespect the victim and mock the tragedy.

You're a broken record, stuck on a bad song. I merely read your comments yesterday based on the reactions to them, now I know why I don't....again. PEACE

Working....instead of blindly following what you are told why don't you educate yourself on the topic of religion. I always find it comical when everyone wants to "burn the Witches" without knowing their own religion. Did you know your beloved Jesus is a spring baby? If you study your bible you will see he was born 6 months after John....that means his bday is around Mar. 6th. Please take the time to learn your own religion before telling me about mine.

exofDevola....this man and I had a college class together years ago and had a huge debate over psy vamp....it is not a new thing for him. I just didn't know about the child abuse back them. Miss Day told me about how and when they met, but by then she was an adult and seemingly very happy with her life. I wish I would have known more then. Maybe this wouldn't have happened.

WorkingStiff....as a Traditional Hereditary Witch it is a lifestyle...Mother Earth and the Moon, the seasons and our ancestors are how we worship life since these are how life is born, lived, and dies. Wicca is a religion with gods and/or goddesses depending on who they are drawn to. To consider a Pagan religion/lifestyle an oxymoron must then include Christianity since its roots are Pagan. Would it be easier for you if this man claimed he was Christian? Or is it just the fact that he is different that you have closed your mind to facts and choose to believe in Mr. Hess's fantasy as well.

Armybrat and Asknot...thank you! If more people learned the facts we might find ourselves in a more peaceful world.

Stiffy, pot meet kettle, you stated:

"Divisive, antagonistic, hateful, racist, bigoted, self-aggrandizing, judgmental " about the POTUS. But I'd say that describes you to a T.

But hey, enjoy making jokes about the POTUS and mocking a story about a mentally ill man, and a young rape victim.

I think this awful excuse for a human decided on his strange belief after he was caught. I hope he stays in prison his entire sentence.I wonder if he will espouse his belief in the big house. I think this so called psyc vamp won't be vocal there.

That being said, I think these people deserve the death penalty. Sick

And I've known many witches in the past, and they're even more respectful and kind to other humans, than most Christians I know. They at least aren't as apt to judge others based on their beliefs, and are very gentle on nature. This guy is just a creep.

Wow, stiffy, you should thank newworld for being more absurd than you. Both your posts are sick. New world for obvious reasons, you should do society a favor and turn yourself into the cops, I'm guessing if you believe that, you've done something bad.

And Stiffy, people disagree with your first post because, you're using a travesty to mock the president. You're making a joke on the back of a poor abused girl. SICK

This man is an insult to all religions, no matter what the religions origins are. People are quick to condemn pagan religions in murders. Yet in comparison, over the years, how many murders and trials have been done in the name of christian belief. More than in pagan religions.

The initial point has been lost....he is NOT a Witch or a Wiccan. He is a sick child abuser who used religion as his excuse. There is no excuse for child abuse or rape or any other attack against our fellow humans. It is wrong....period.

America was founded by nature based religion/lifestyles of the native people. Many people came to America to search for religious freedom. Their hope was to escape the religious persecution they were facing in their countries. The early white settlers had a variety of religions and lifestyles including Traditional Witchcraft, yet persecution continued, or did the Salem Witch Trials where innocent Christians died slip your mind. We have always been a melting pot from the very beginning. I don't understand why this is such an issue with people. I put my pants on the same way you do....our biggest difference is you step foot in a church once a week to worship...I only have to step foot outside which I do daily....Blessed Be )O(

@newworld...Most victims don't realize it's wrong, or abuse. Can't believe you're blaming parents for them getting molested. If you had a child that got molested by a trusted family member or friend, its your fault right?? Moron!!!

Many organizations lobby the American Psychiatric Association and other governing bodies to have their particular deviation included in the DSM-R5. In the American culture, pedophilia is a crime. It is thought to be normal behavior and not a deviation by those who sexually desire children. IMHO pedophilia is no more a mental illness than is homosexuality. It's the person's sexual orientation.

Any sexual orientation is fine by me as long as it is not harmful to anyone. An adult like this guy clearly harms young women and girls. Ten years isn't enough punishment, but remember it can't change his sexual orientation. When he gets out he will return to his predatory behavior.

Watchdog....being a Witch isn't so different than any other nature based lifestyles, which includes Native American Indians. Of course we all have our minor differences, but we are peaceful, kind, moral, ethical, etc. We just don't believe in the Christian god. Of course claiming to be something you are not and doing terrible things is hypocritical and damaging to those who truly follow these natural paths. You'd be surprised how many Witches and Wiccans are in our area. As for psy vamps....these are not your blood sucking vampires....they believe in energy as their life force...there is a difference. I don't live in a gingerbread house. I don't need to take off my skin toned makeup that covers my green skin and sadly...I can not turn anyone into a toad, although I know several I'd like to be able to do so to. We are not the ones to be afraid of. And before it is said....No...there is no Satan in our lifestyle, he is a Christian deity (not a god but one of power)you all can keep him.

Since the chances of a sexual predator are slim to none that they will "rehabilitate" or never act on there impulses again, I believe the sentence should be death. Someone of this nature shouldn't be allowed in society or incarcerated. Especially when the victims themselves may become predators to cope with what happened to them...

WS: Could you, just ONCE, make a comment on a subject, any subject, without taking a jab at YOUR President? Even if you occasionally make a valid point, you ruin it with your hateful rhetoric.
