Why?

If you can disprove the Dallas Charter, please do.

I'm all ears.

I definitely think atheism is false based on personal experience.

I know atheists think you have truth because you're really smart but I'm afraid you are mistaken.

Interesting how they are called "ex" when they're only "ex" because they were fired while committing these crimes while they were priests etc...

Catholic Priest Gets Five Years On Child Sex Charges​

December 5, 2023 Crime, Religion


The CBC reports:

A Roman Catholic priest on P.E.I. has been sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to four counts of sexual exploitation of a teenage boy in the 1990s. Maurice Joseph Praught, 70, entered the plea in a Charlottetown courtroom Tuesday morning. He was arrested in 2022 following a joint investigation by Summerside police and the RCMP after the Diocese of Charlottetown reported the allegations.
A few hours after the sentencing, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Charlottetown issued a statement about the case. “I sincerely apologize to the victim and his family for the abuse, pain and harm that was perpetrated by Father Praught, and I offer my most earnest apology for the failures of the Church,” the statement quoted Bishop Joseph Dabrowski as saying. The statement noted that the diocese has had a sexual abuse response policy in place since 1992.

You're Statistically more likely to be sexuallly assaulted by a public school teacher than a priest. Fact.

I wonder if the "saved and forgiven" part was before or after molesting the teen? Grooming... not by a drag queen.

Fort Wayne’s ABC affiliate reports:

A 25-year-old man is facing charges after court documents say he had inappropriate contact with a minor while he was serving as a pastor at a Markle church.
Court records show Zachary Luke Petree was charged with child seduction while having a professional relationship with the child, dissemination of matter harmful to minors, and sexual battery. Prosecutors say Petree was acting as a pastor at a church in Markle at the time.
Court documents say between January 1 and February 22, the 16-year-old victim stayed the night at Petree’s home to help him care for his kids. In a “Motion to Enter a Plea of Guilty,” Petree says he showed the teen sexually explicit photos, sent the teen explicit messages, and admitted to having inappropriate contact with the girl.

Missouri Pastor Arrested On Child Molestation Charges​

December 7, 2023 Crime, Religion


Kansas City’s ABC affiliate reports:

An Independence pastor is facing child molestation charges. Court documents state that multiple people under the age of 18 accused Virgil Marsh of sexually assaulting them between 2011 and 2018. Marsh, 71, is now in the Jackson County jail.
He was charged with two counts of first-degree of child molestation and first-degree statutory sodomy. A probable cause statement indicates that Marsh told police he was a current pastor in Independence and admitted he had “inappropriately touched” one of the victims.
He also told police he has asked for forgiveness with God and is no longer the man who “had previously done things to the victim,” the probable cause reads.

Worried about the drag queens but crickets in Missouri when it comes to this... There are only 2 possible reasons for the crickets. 1) The average christian has no idea the extent of the abuse going on in their churches, or, 2) They just don't care.

And not a single law being proposed to protect the children that will keep religious leaders away from them.

Shame.

Religious leaders are less likely to abuse children statistically than public school teachers are even though they get all the media coverage. Just FYI.


"Putting clergy abuse in context, research from the US Department of Education found that about 5-7 percent of public school teachers engaged in similar sexually abusive behavior with their students during a similar time frame. While no comprehensive studies have been conducted with most other religious traditions, a small scale study that I was involved with found that 4 percent of Anglican priests."

Separating Facts About Clergy Abuse From Fiction

Quality research and reason need to take precedence over emotion if we truly want to keep children and families safe from sexual abuse in the the Church or anywhere.

How about more or less likely than trans or drag queens? Yet we see all the laws targeting those groups to “protect the children”

 

[BrianNole777]

It's hard to know for sure.

About 5-20% of men are sexual abusers of all types in every group. There aren't as many drag queens as pastors but I'd estimate drag queens have at least an equal abuse rate.

Using that logic, laws should be created to keep kids away from public school teachers since 5-7% are sexual abusers.

Schools would then be outlawed.

READ the title and first post! Religious conservatives are hypocritically pushing laws against drag queens because they are allegedly the groomers parents need to worry about... where are the new laws against everyone else? Laws stopping them from being in the company of these people like they are doing for drag queens. I'm not saying only pastors, youth pastors etc are the only ones grooming and raping children. You are just too blinded by trying to defend the church... Please start posting links where DRAG QUEENS AND TRANS are arrested/convicted for grooming/molesting children.
