Those Darned Christians!

With new clues, a Philadelphia homicide unit reopens the 1998 murder of Carrie Swett, who had joined the abstinence club, Hearts Wait, just before her death.

Carrie eventually learns the club members aren’t who they claim to be. Tina, the outspoken president, apparently is carrying on a sexual relationship with the youth pastor, Nathan, who oversees the club.

In a flashback scene, Carrie confronts Tina and encourages her to stop meeting alone with the youth pastor.

Tina replies, “You’re just some slut with a whore for a mother.”

Carrie also tells a young man who fears he’s homosexual and two teens who are sleeping together that there is nothing wrong with their feelings or actions.

The members of the club respond to Carrie by calling her “dirty,” “whore,” “slut” and “b****” before stoning her to death.

Tina justifies the murder by paraphrasing the King James Version of Deuteronomy 22:21: “The whore should be stoned so thou shalt put evil away among you.”

That was a synopsis of an episode of CBS’ Cold Case. Apparently, the powers that be at CBS have decided that Christians are the ones into stoning women for having sex.

Uh huh. That’s right. Christians. Read on after the jump.

Y’know, were I to cast about a bit looking for a religion that had a lengthy track record of stoning women for being sexually active, I could see where Chrstians might be your first choice. After all, it happened quite a few times back in ancient Israel – a couple few thousand years ago. I’m pretty certain you could also tally a couple burnt witches who were more strumpet than sorceress back in the late 1600s. Though it’s not stoning, it’s close enough and who’s to say those Puritans didn’t wing in a couple rocks while the fire burned higher?

So, you know, it’s understandable that the CBS writers couldn’t come up with a more contemporary example of a religion that uses fatal rock-chunking as a legal punishment for sexual behavior.

After all, it’s not like there’s any other religion with a whole bunch of its followers in the news or anything.

So while CBS lives in its fantasy land where Christians are the rock-heavers, let’s be safe in the world where you and I live. Don’t worry about taking one in the head from folks like me. On the other hand, if you ladies ever visit Iran or Pakistan or Indonesia or Saudi Arabia (to name a few) or certain mosquey-looking structures in Britan, France, Germany, Canada, and the United States, be safe and keep your sexual habits and all but a few centimeters of skin around your eyes under wraps. I understand there’s a pretty large segment of Dearborn, Michigan that’s a bit twitchy on the subject, too.

While CBS can afford the delusion that Christians are the problem, the rest of us have to face reality. That reality has a name and it makes its women wear a burqa and keeps them under very tight control. Of course, that reality also tends to riot in the streets and make serious death threats any time they’re offend-o-meter so much as twinkles. Probably safer to make Christians the villans. At least if you tick them off, William Donohue is the worst of your worries.
