What an utterly filthy article, it is suggesting an abject lie. Read Mr Sanders' actual article in its entirety and you will find that the quotes that were mined for this hyperpartisan mudslinging article were set-ups for specific scenarios, not statements suggesting that all or most men want to rape or that all or most women desire rape. That said, it is known that a large minority of women do fantasize about being raped - that does not mean that they want to be raped or that rape is not a terribly violent crime. That there exist people who resort to this level of dishonest mudslinging is disturbing.

Of all the slanders perpetrated on this board over cherry-picked, partial quotes, I submitting this one as the absolute worst.

please, dear reader, I'm not asking you agree with this article, but please take time to read it. It's less then 700 words long and is about gender roles and inappropriate contentography.

Once again a certain member of this forum brings it down to the tabloid level.

Is it any wonder why OBOB is becoming viewed as less and less Christ centered ?

Heh, it's not because of this, and I'll leave it at that lest I break the rules.

Promotion of this sort of dishonest filth is incompatible with the teachings of Christ. Too many modern American Christians prefer to serve their hyperpartisan political agendas (whether left, right, or other) over their Lord and Creator.

Thank you and others for setting this straight! I think there was some kind of survey, too, which someone might had mentioned (please excuse the brain fog LOL as my physical problems cause lots of it and will forget what I read) where the survey results was a certain percentage of woman fantasize this but as was said that does not mean they want it!! Really good to read those that replied setting the record straight on this. Once again the news media and others taking something out of context or making something different other than what's intended.

Threads like this should just be deleted by mods. The only reason to post obvious filth like this , especially on a Christian forum, is to inflame.

"Mudslinging is bad" he says while mudslinging conservatives.

This is a "dishonest source." Ok, how about these?

Where did I sling mud against conservatives? Christ would advise you to refrain from bearing false witness.

frenchdefense · May 29, 2015

This whole thread is nothing but cheap, demented, sensationalized , clickbait.

It's beneath this forum.

...and that's saying something.

First off, you're putting words in Christ's mouth. God the Father makes the commandment against false witness.

Second off, insinuating that the article was written by "filthy liars" constitutes slinging mud.

Thanks for telling ME what my intentions are. Another good Christian posted more sources for you all to have a fit over.

What were your intentions, exactly?

There is nothing God the Father would command that Christ would not agree to. You falsely accuse me again.

They are filthy liars, but I did not know that they represent conservatives. Apparently if I call Rush Limbaugh and Chris Christie obese I'm slinging mud against conservatives too, in your judgement. So be it. Neither your judgement nor your gross misunderstanding of the nature of God the Father and Christ interest me terribly much.

Now you're personally attacking my character.

What is up with politicians lately? From this story to the stories of conservative Christians defending Josh Duggar to the GOP congressman who said rape can be 'beautiful' if it produces a child. Good grief, have many of them lost their ever loving minds? I'm just asking, because that would be the only rational explanation.
