@pastorpauldrees: There certainly are cases where there is ambiguity around sexual assault and rape, but this case is not one of them. This act was horrific, and those responsible should face significant jail time. I’ll also note, I would very much like to see a prison system that focuses on rehabilitation, rather than just punishment. Our current system does very little to change people for the better, which should be the point in my estimation. #progressiveclergy #pastorpauldrees #Lutheran #ELCA

Hey Pastor Paul! I’m a fan of your videos, but I’m concerned about the term “bullying” here. To me, bullying has always come from a place of superiority and malice, usually undeserved. Could you please clarify you use of the word?

1HandedMaster :

Be kind, be loving, stop being nice. Jesus flipped tables and more. Don't confuse peace with being quiet. Love your stuff dude.

You mean the Cornell case where the supposed victim snorted drugs off a boner? And said she loved getting 7 penises pur inside her body in a single night and told 1 of the supposed perpetrators that sexually is ever evolving? Bro get real

Robert :

As a pagan, I think it's wonderful that you're using your influence to enact change by spreading the more empathetic side of Christianity, and I just wish everyone was like this

yass_khaz :

I just wanna say even as a non Christian, of another religion, this isn't about just christian teachings its about people coming together to make society better

KomandanteMagdalo :

There is a difference between shaming and bullying, Father, but still a great vid!

g_monet2 :

I think you should revisit the gospels. It seems as though you missed the point.

P.B. Alex🇵🇸🇨🇩🇸🇩🇮🇷🇲🇲 :

Bullying worked for me, it just matters why you are “bullying” if you are wanting someone to end their existence, that is a problem. If you are bullying someone to correct their behavior, I don’t see the harm in that. Now remember, I was bullied in the former method, and I’m still here.

sjouker01 :

father i wanted to say you the only father (in a god way ) I am listening to ceep doing what you doing

Artist Gremlin :

They should face more severe action than the same punishment I had for something I did in middle school like wtf

danaschulerdrum :

thank you so much for saying this. what feels like bullying is often social correction.

boboblong129 :

It is a fact that the largest thing that keeps us civilized is that we have a legal system. Once people start taking judgment and punishment into their own hands we are logically opening the door for others to do the same. You think you know all of the facts, you think you deserve to pass judgment, you think that the people you hate deserve to be punished and you think you have the right to punish them. . well guess what so does the next person coming in hot with their opinions on who is guilty and who gets punished. If you don't have to work within the system then nobody has to work within the system.

MrFrizby621 :

Jane Doe is cooked either way because Taxpayers and members of the Church ignore and allow people like Shane Dawson and Ukulele Apology Video Girl to adopt Children [Tears of joy] every american deserves to be in a cell with cosby/Diddy as far as im concerned. over 1000 SA cases have been found over the last Century with Priesthood BTW seems like a great career choice perpetuateing Psychosis normalizing idolizing a Invisible Man in the Sky [Like] #FreeSudan #FreeGaza #FreeUkraine #ABDL #diaperlover #ageplay #ageregression

✝️🙏🏻Kim.4k.6g🕊️🙌 :

Amen!

¡Sefere :

Yeah i don't know about that

Roman Fire :

I think the terminology you were looking for is enforcing social consequences for bad behaviors and outlooks. Cause the definition of bullying implys power imbalance. We absolutely should impose and enforce social consequences for the shitty behavior of shitty people however I don’t think bullying is the correct word to rally social consequences under. I’m aware I’m being nitpicky just wanted to add my opinion in. Love your content and though I’m not religious I find your views to be some of the most respectable out there so thank you for that.

IndieTheSavage :

It’s called social sanctions and it is necessary in a functional society. 👏

SomethingBrewed :

social shame is the oldest form of tribal repercussions

Rynneer :

Jesus told me to turn the other cheek, but He didn’t tell me to turn the other cheek when others are suffering.

Tova :

holding people accountable is not bullying

Migypie :

There's a difference between bullying and social pressure. The former is almost never acceptable, and the latter is the way human society teaches individuals what is and is not appropriate or acceptable.
