Why Syzygy (18,735 posts)

22. Even the Bible

has no claim to my body, mind or soul! No relic book does. What I'm reacting to is how it is assumed that anyone, let alone sick and twisted, criminal pedophiles have ANY claim to ANY body other than their own. To me that's profound and needs to be thrown up as objection to any of this messing with our lives in any form or fashion.
