    That’s a gross oversimplification. You do know most pastors that do that have to get close with the kids in the first place for it to happen… they don’t just see a kid on first day and go for it. They’re predators that try to build trust at first under the guise of religion being safe and trustworthy.

    Good thing they just ship them off to another church once they’re found out? I’m sure plenty of cases get swept under the rug because psycho-Christian families believe it was “God’s plan” or some bs.

    And I will happily shit on religion all day :) “god” and jesus can choke on my nuts

      no, abusers flock to all kinds of power. The common theme is that they are abusers, not that they are religious or political or rich or well connected, abusers will seek ways to be shielded for abuse

      if you look at every reasonable metric the BY FAR source of power in child sexual abuse is parental or familial.

      You just want to pretend this isn’t the case because it deflates a favorite scapegoat of yours.

      It doesn’t matter what language or form is taken to justify the abuse, it is all abhorrent. You take special exception to religion because you are weak minded

        I’d bet you my life savings that majority of abusers are Christians, pastor or not lol. So there’s that. They prob go to church every Sunday to “repent” for their sins and it makes it all OK for those stupid creeps
