Hastert Gets His Integrity and Values from the Lord

If there were a Hell, I assume the lowest rung would be reserved for people who use a position of authority to harm children. That dude, Jesus of Nazareth, made a point of this by saying that whatever you do to the children, you should consider that you’re also doing it to him. So, if you’re fondling a high school wrestler’s naughty parts, well, you do the math.

I mean, Tom DeLay can tell the judge how much Dennis Hastert loves the Lord, but I’m just going on scripture here.

…but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. -Matthew 18:6

I’m not a theologian, but I see a problem here.
