Reply to comment by Sarcofaygo in Brooklyn pastor who was robbed while preaching charged with wire fraud and lying to FBI in unrelated case by NippyAardvark

Of course he’s against sexual abuse. Find me a pastor, a priest, that says otherwise. Until they’re found out. They’re in a profession literally about ethics and morality, yet statistics show they’re generally worse than the general population at horrific acts.

No amount of spin or anecdotes changes the fact organized religion is among the worst perpetrators of what they allegedly preach against.

It’s not my job to be a moralist, I, like all humans, have plenty of failings. The difference is I don’t tell people how they should live. I’m not that arrogant.

Holy shit dude

My pastor literally has an LGBT flag hanging from his churches welcome sign.

He literally testifies against Banning abortion

He's probably a better person than you honestly

He doesn't stereotype entire groups of people from worst case scenarios

You do, however.

Also, not every religious leader is catholic. My pastor is liberal methodist. You don't know what you are talking about

You seem intent on talking about their promoted political beliefs. I’m talking about their above background levels of criminality.

It’s just possible, a pro civil rights preacher can also do nefarious things, and grift their followers as they preach morality…

And you and I both know this extends well beyond the Catholic Church. They just had a habit of making child rape their main goal as an organization.

Maybe look into Hillsong when you have a chance.

I find it very disgusting how you keep trying to imply that my pastor is doing nefarious things when he is so dedicated to morality that he refused to leave his wife when she had breast cancer. Yeah, you are a dickhead.

Analogy: Some teachers unfortunately abuse their students. Does that make every single teacher a statuarory rapist? In your big brain, apparently it does. Some men rape women. Does that make every single man a rapist? Including yourself? I'm sure you suddenly wouldn't want to paint with such a broad brush.
