Why is American Christianity infested with pedophiles?
@davenewworld_2 And why no complaints from the Far Right, when they're released early from prison? North Texas youth pastor who sexually abused 14 girls released ... fox4news.com/news/north-tex…
@davenewworld_2 More importantly, why do right wing "Christian" voices ignore the pedophile problem in their midst while scapegoating innocent minorities for the problem?
@davenewworld_2 Guessing: - power - lots of children around - can just pray to be forgiven - can just confess and be forgiven - children aren't (as) educated to tell their parents about it, know it's wrong, etc (Granted the first 2 also apply to lots of other jobs)
@davenewworld_2 Because any stricture and overt grouping of self-righteousness offers both the comfort of self-denial and a good place to hide for monsters.
@davenewworld_2 It's THE career to get for that act, there are others, but the fear of hell is a powerfull way to keep people quiet from outing you
@davenewworld_2 because it puts them in a position of *unquestioned* trust and authority.
@davenewworld_2 Christianity as a whole
