    Most research shows that child predators seek out positions of authority and trust in order to best take advantage of youth. It not only forms a relationship of trust, but one of fear if they speak out. Id imagine it’s way easier to become a pastor/preacher/preist than it is a teacher, or school liaison officer, or community leader.

    Not saying there aren’t problems with the church/religion as a whole. Christianity especially, most Christians now days represent almost everything Jesus spoke against.

      As an atheist, I find it surreal that I behave more in line with Christ’s teachings than most Christians I know. And I know the bible better, which is also weird.

          Every time I read that phrase (amen brother), I hear it in my head in Hulk Hogan’s voice. Is that weird?
