So this is what a drag queen looks like?
I think he took his research way too seriously.

Yeah sounds about right based on the people I knew who went to Cedarville
My humble opinion:
Many Christians (and people of other kinds of faith) truly want to be good humans. I know many christians. And although for many reasons I personally don't take their faith for me, I do recognize their honest intentions and beautiful hearts.
Then... then we have these scumbags... these abominations that not only abuse (in the general sense), but also target and scar for life the most vulnerable members of our society. These excuses of human beings are a complete waste of air and ~~must be castrated and~~ let to rot in prison.
Edit: Add strike-though. Great points in the comments. I must say I wrote too fast in the heat of the moment. I understand how castration may come from a desire of revenge rather than seeking to eliminate a threat to society. Thanks for the discussion!
The problem is how many people in religious groups will refuse to condemn actions of the religion's organizations and leaders but keep their "membership". If you are provided evidence that a group you are a part of is committing heinous shit like systemic child rape but you will neither leave nor vocally condemn it then you are fully compliant in those crimes. If you go further, as most religious people do, and white wash the absolute fuck out of the reality of the crimes of your group and try to spread that bullshit then you are just as guilty as the actual rapists, just as guilty as the "cleaner squads" from the Vatican that help relocate rapist priests.
Yup

Religion is itself a serious mental illness, and often covers other mental illnesses as well. All religious people should be on a watchlist.
