I'm in need of a list of anti-gay pastors who turned out to be gay, bi, or otherwise hypocritical in their personal lives. Bonus points for scandals. I was able to find a couple of articles on The Advocate, but those mostly covered politicians.

Are there any other resources to flood my opponents with evidence contrary to their delusions? I'm having too much fun to quit.

(7,725 posts)To do so is to legitimize their points as even debatable. Haven't learned yet? We have real problems today. Fighting about religion is a distraction and will continue to cripple the country over a book of fairy tales meant to keep civilians playing by the rules, while the elders and govt folks rob and eat our lunch. When any repub I know sets a real example and acts like Jesus for a month solid. Ill discuss their system of beliefs w them. They talk the talk and refuse to walk the walk, and people keep that fight alive by arguing w people online about stuff that will come no closer to making anyones life better. Stamp out the GOP. Start by ignoring them?
All of course...my humble opinion.

Other than that you arent going to change any minds over there.
Sorry, I was a member for years up til about 2012, but wandered away. I couldn't remember any of my login info and had to create a new account. Now it won't let me post anything til I respond to some stuff.
I am in a discussion with a conservative who is denying the CDC sexual assault stats because he says that 17,000 people isn't a large enough sample size (?) And he is citing BJS stats which appear much lower.
I know I have heard that 1 in 5 women will be raped in their lifetime and 1 in 3 will experience xontact sexual assault and I have found several websites that state those stats, but this guy is mocking them and keeps falling back to the BJS 2016 stats.
I know he is wrong, but I am working my outdoor job in 30 degree weather and just can't seem to figure out why these stats are so different.
Any help is appreciated and I am sorry to hijack this thread. But I remembered that the people here were always crazy smart and well researched and this guy is a total douche.
