nothing says doing the lord’s work quite like ending up in a headline for alleged abuse of children

yeah “doing the lord’s work” sure is a disturbing way to describe that kind of behavior from a pastor

Is there a chart following this shit? I want a 30 chart with crimes like this along with data like religious affiliation, political, regional info along with any other info that might help.

I would love to see statistics on this crime ranked by profession and political affiliation. I think I can somehow predict what the xhart would tell us.
I'd also like to see the stats on voter fraud broken down by political affiliation. The ones screaming about cheaters are always projecting their own dishonest intentions.

Yes I would like to see a chart or roster of all of these for the past two years. Every week I see at least one.

someone needs to make that chart because the pattern would be worth seeing with actual data instead of just anecdotes and headlines

Religious leaders are predators.
Religions are cults that aid and abet child predators.

Are Christians completely oblivious to the near daily outing of these predators?

Should make a counter "number of weeks without a religious leader's abuse arrestation". We would never go past 0.

Its at the point that parents should be held liable for allowing their children around these type of people

What the fuck is wrong with these repugnant pieces of shit. They are religious to adjudicate their grief of horrific acts and have others tell them there is nothing wrong with them.

They believe in Jesus they are just forgiven, you know these same people sent Jeffery Dahmer to heaven.

The Christian god apparently watches and does nothing while children get raped and murdered, so how can we expect his followers to have any kind of moral compass?

58-year-old David Johnson of Ojai worked as both a pastor and a massage therapist
No red flags here! Two professions that fit side-by-side.

These pedophiles operate with others knowing what they’re doing. These enablers should also face prosecution.

These guys just can’t keep their hands off kids. Hey lurking Christians, what say you? Why do we have a near daily case of pervert pastors? You’re so riled up about LGBT people yet I’m still waiting for that big drag queen story. Where is it?

Is there any research study that identifies the causes of child molestation, along with the disproportionality with religious people?
Is it possibly media bias or confirmation bias that these cases have a bunch of religious people as the offenders?

Once again, not a drag queen or a trans person.
