Religious Reporting Done Right
This is really ugly.
Adn while we are condemning people for doing Christianity really wrong, you might want to check this out from Scotwise.
Three people have been jailed for between four and 10 years over the torture of an eight-year-old girl they accused of being a witch.For once this ugliness IS NOT used to bash Christianity by claiming it is what lead these evil people to do this evil thing. Rather, this is the only mention of religion in the piece
Bishop Dr Joe Aldred, chair of the Council of Black-led Churches in Birmingham, said: "The African faith community has been horrified by this case of child abuse.Have to thank the Beeb for getting it right.
"Any religious practice or belief that harms children cannot be justified or excused."
Adn while we are condemning people for doing Christianity really wrong, you might want to check this out from Scotwise.
THE brutal beating left her with deep purple bruises all over her body but a priest and two Bible studies teachers claim they were just trying to "help" the girl realise she should go to church.Chi Yeong Yun, 37, a priest at Chatswood's Open Door Church, and Bible studies teachers James Kang, 21, and Tom Chae-Young Lee, 22, pleaded guilty in the NSW District Court yesterday to assaulting Angela Kim on July 8 last year.I'm pretty sure God has a very "special" place for people like this.
