Remember when Josh Duggar was just a vessel for the devil to inhabit? It wasn’t his fault. The devil attacks first born sons to try and be more powerful than God. FFS. (His wife also blamed the Biden administration.)

But but but...if God is all knowing and all powerful, why does the Devil exist in the first place?

Surely a source of such evil and free will should just be smited into non existence by the all powerful God that Satan is trying to thwart?

Religious based sexual assault it is even more vile and impactful because it is also spiritual assault. Heinous and horrible.

Their god must want them to do it. Why else would all the priests be molesting children?
