The worst part was the hypocrisy. Well that and all the raping.

Man just calling out the rape doesn't do it justice.

They rape and "freshen up" the gene pool now and then. They rape to fix problems caused by rape.

If you don't feel uncomfortable with that thought in your head, then add to it the puppy mills.

They are not a holy people.

Are puppy mills more efficient than wind mills?

Damn it, Norm! You're supposed to be dead!

Quit screwing around and get back to relaxing in the afterlife, we'll handle this mess just fine. Or we won't, and we'll all see you soon.

Wait, what? I have a feeling I was better off being ignorant.

Part of mainstream Amish theology is basically that it's the job of the community to handle people sinning, not outsiders, and after rape has been "handled" by a period of shunning it's basically forbidden for community members to not re-embrace them, including their victim.

Fucking nightmare for the victims, for obvious reasons.
