Spiritually bent

from Flying Free

I believe that because of the fall of man, mankind is spiritually "bent". This sinful bent causes many people to identify with abusers and feel protective of them, rather than identify with survivors of abuse and be protective of them. Hence, the reason why people throw negative labels at survivors of abuse in order to discredit them and shut them up, while bring in admiration of abusers, falling for their cunning deceptions, and wagging their finger at anyone who says anything uncomplimentary about abusers and even remotely hints at the possibility that an abuser isn't a genuine believer.
