Apologies for the overly clinical language. While yes the rape of males is a definite problem, the rape of females never stopped. I don't have the statistics but i doubt it even slowed. What the fuck, homophobes and rape apologists at the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Daniel Centre Church?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Boys deserve not to get raped, but so do girls. Everyone deserves to not get raped. And yeah some boys are still raping people of varied genders, as are some girls.
Wtf is wrong with this pastor‽
There are a lot of good religious people but this just highlights yet again that there are a lot of sick weirdo’s that claw their way up the religious ladder.
I appreciate the exceedingly rare nuance. As a believer myself, this is...despicably unhinged, and needs to be called out. Predators have a way of gaining acceptance in the flock before they blatantly run amok.
As if the ancient greeks didn't absolutely rape boys too
It's a pot calling the kettle black situation if you're comparing the Greeks to the Christian Church, especially in the early days
I mean, if the ancient Greeks did it, it must be fine
Its where alpha and beta comes from. Perfect representation of masculinity
Wut...
the
actual
Fuck
?!
- Rape, regardless of gender, is wrong.
- This charity implies rape against women is not wrong.
According to the Bible, Men raping Women isn't wrong. At least not as long as the father of the victim gets compensated and the two get married.

Yes, the fee was 50 shekels of silver for raping a virgin child, so less than $150 USD (assuming each silver shekel was 11.4 gm, the standard shekel back then).
This is why we need the Bible to teach us morality, you see.
The first part of Deuteronomy is historical. The second part is legislative. There is still much that can be learned from it.
This idea, whether it comes from the religious or not, that the entire 44+ books of the Bible are some kind of "Do everything this collection of documents says to the exact letter or else hell or something" instruction manual is one of the most ignorant and sadistic jokes of our time, and to reduce it to such is an act of intellectual dishonesty.
But if I ignore the parts I find immoral, and focus on what I personally consider to be good moral lessons, it gives me objective morality!
I was happier not knowing this
We should all be educated on the books these eejits derive their beliefs
I hate this so much that I can't even think of what to say about it.
These organizations are weird as fuck. Raping people is evil, regardless of anything else.
So I looked up the video mentioned in the article. This just sounds like someone who is insane and/or trying to garner attention from religious hysteria. Even after publication, the video mentioned in the article has 397 views and only 7 likes, so it doesn't seem like anyone really knows who these people are.
Sane Christian charities trying to desperately bandage humanity's hemorrhaging across the globe? Not even newsworthy.
An insane whackjob makes a video screaming hot takes into the void and claims to be a believer?
The Internet: "SEE THIS IS WHAT ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE LIKE! I knew I was right to hate anybody different from me !!11one"
It can also be helpful to realize, doomer headlines like this one about nothing-assholes are common on opposite political spectrums too. There are probably some liberally minded feminists who have given horrific takes like "We should just round up every white man born in a red state, and dump them all in a landfill, with no trials." And as stupid and evil as that is, some news site has probably quoted them to make manosphere centers feel even angrier towards "evil feminists".
Yep. This is just one of those aspects of the internet era. I'm certain people publicly said far worse than this in every nation, and they were shunned and their words never made it into a printed article. I know far worse claims that have been published on YouTube and also never got an article about them.
Now there is the aspect that this is an organization registered as a charity. I can't speak for the UK, but in the USA, it's very easy to form a registered charity organization if you are willing to bind yourself to the limitations of such. It's not something that a government department head signs off on, or a parliamentary body votes on. It's usually an accounting operation and a rubber stamp.
Was looking for any kind of context that would somehow make it even slightly less-outrageous than the headline indicated.
It was worse.
slough has a reputation to keep down
Thinking of Betjeman as I read that.
The Mountain of Fire and Miracles Daniel Centre Church
With a name like that, you know they're fucking nuts.
I'd be surprised if they said something sensible. Found this plan they have on the article:
"In Jesus name, Amen!" Like it's some form of magic words such as "abracadabra"

Having the word "Church" in their name was a dead give away
as Christopher Hitchens pointed out, putting the word Pastor or Reverend in front if peoples names letss then get away with saying the most horrible, hateful hurtful stuff that wouldn't see then banned on many Lemny instances without being called out and shunned for it. To wit, Hegseth's hate preacher
ragebait. the whole website is ragebait.
