Yea, it looks legit.

A couple things come to mind. First...if any organization needs sexual abuse insurance, that's a huge red flag to me. Second...I think if the victims can get a nice hefty settlement because it's structured this way, then good.

I'll just keep this in mind when religious folks are pointing their fingers at others while screeching "groomers"

Yep, I heard of it some years ago. It's certainly one way to make an insurance company into the richest company in the world (or bust).

Behind this is the realization that only a diseased, hypercapitalist society could ever allow something like insurance against molestation to exist.

what the fucking shit?

The disease isn't the society offering the insurance--that's the antibiotic ointment you slap on hoping it cures the infection. Perhaps not the best treatment but it's what you have in the drawer!

The sickness is organized religion and in this regard (screwing kids) the Catholic Church leads the way. So many other reasons religions need to be shot into the sun but we are only talking one of their most time-honored traditions here, that of child molestation and systematic denial and coverup.

How about... well... Have they tried just not molesting children?

Maybe they didn't think of that.

The children need to stop tempting the godly men.

That entire site is disturbing. How can you write stuff thats "this is how to lessen the financial risk to your organisation if you get caught diddling kids", rather than "STOP FUCKING DIDDLING KIDS YOU FUCKING PERVERTS".

"The issue of sexual abuse in the church is a complex..." NO IT FUCKING ISN'T! IT'S SIMPLE, YOU JUST HAVE TO STOP DOING IT!

It's not an insurance against molestation, it's an insurance against consequences of molestation.

Yet, every single day a public school teacher is arrested in America for child molestation, rape, sexting, etc., including those hot teachers everyone cheers for. The irony is those teachers also usually happen to be atheists.

But yes, lets just assume this only happens in the church.

Pfft...

Leeea · May 2, 2024

The insurance company has done the math, and the conclusion is:

It may also cover counseling or therapy for victims and can provide coverage for defense costs even if the claims are groundless.

translation:
We are just going to assume your guilty and cover the victims medical costs

Republicans, they say, are going to be able to buy that same insurance.
With repubs, every accusation IS a confession.

FFS, Daily Kos is up to Part 50 of their reports already with over 1200 diddlers

Here's part 1

Republican Sexual Predators, Abusers, and Enablers Pt. 1

I took my anger over the Kavanaugh hearing and confirmation and invested it in documenting the Republicans long history of sexual predators, abusers, and those who make excuses for them. There’s a list of about 45 that I began with but they are always...

www.dailykos.com

We're up to part 50

Republican Sexual Predators, Abusers, and Enablers Pt. 50

This is the 50th installment in the list of Republican sexual predators, abusers, and enablers who contribute to rape culture. These are people who abused their power or defended the abuse of power. These are not folks caught in consensual scandals...

The point I am making this happens in all of society. A society which has mostly strayed from religion and turned to atheism as some sort of salvation.

We are doomed.

Yeah guys, there wouldn't be so many teachers sexually assaulting children of we were all more religious and trusted our kids with the priests, who would NEVER sexually assault children.

Ah, you're trying to make the case that religious authority figures diddling children is the result of, um, atheism. When did your brain call it quits?

Stokely · May 2, 2024

Here's a thought. Let's do our best to put a stop to priests AND school employees diddling kids. With the help of the churches and the schools if they aren't giving it. Nobody is saying either/or.

The churches have fought tooth and nail for ages to keep it under wraps; have schools? Maybe if the Catholics would let their guys marry it wouldn't be so much of an issue with them--plus they let them drink. Not a great combo to be around gullible small kids. I grew up Evangelical and attended Catholic school for a couple years--those religious figures are uber-trusted by kids, believe me. They are men of God, after all!

Straying from religion gives me hope, although it's offset by addiction to social media unfortunately.

So more religion makes us better?

Who’s religion??

Don't forget republican politicians.

Most teachers happen to be atheist? Since you must be religious, why don't you go play in traffic and then let us know if your God is real perhaps? Do something useful.
