Spiritual mentor of ‘Brother Dean’ proud of ‘You deserve rape’ sign

The man who allegedly inspired Dean Saxton IV to adopt extremist religious views spoke highly of his now infamous “You deserve rape” sign.

“I have often said on campus, ‘You girls in your immodest scanty attire are asking for it. You might as well have a sign on your back saying, ‘Rape me! Rape me! Rape me!’” Jed Smock of Campus Ministry USA wrote Sunday on his Facebook page. “Brother Dean IV at the Universality of Arizona has put this admonition in even stronger terms with his sign, ‘You Deserve Rape.’”

“Dean is not advocating rape; he is trying to discourage rape by shaming girls into dressing in a manner which will not stir up the passions of men lacking in self-control,” he added. “He is challenging women to not be in places where they ought not to be such as parading in the streets and bars at night, especially unescorted. It’s as simple as making sure to lock your possessions in high crime areas. If you do not, then you are asking to be robbed. Of course, that does not justify the thief; he has still committed a crime.”

Saxton, a junior at the University of Arizona, told The Daily Wildcat that the extremist Christian was the reason he began his aggressive open-air preaching.

Jed Smock deserves a reception similar (and to the same extent) as that given to Poppy Harlow.

And here's a link to the Facebook page of "Dean Elijah Samuel IV."

These two jerks should realize they're actually providing plenty of ammunition to unbelievers.

Judge not, that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

10. So men are inherently unable to control themselves

That's a ringing endorsement. It is incumbent of women to act in such a way as not to overly stimulate men. I'm amazed how much these Christians hate Islam when their mindset is almost exactly the same.
