Organized religion is just fucked. This type of thing just keeps happening regardless of the denomination. Could it be that religiosity goes hand in hand with pedophilia?

sorry, I noticed that it didn't work after I posted it. Also doesn't work if I try to click on the link in the "history" button in my toolbar. You can get to it by going to google news, doing a search on "pakistan child molestation" and clicking on it from there.

'Islam wrestles with it's own sex abuse scandal'...sounds like a sports fetish on the surface of it.

Yep, organized religion is pretty shaky stuff from my POV. Wanna get with God, get there on your own. Leave the pedophiles and middlemen out of the equation. Don't let someone 'interpret the will of' God for you, just go right for the source.

Wasn't it the prophet who married a 6-year old and "honored" her when she was 9?

as i have posted several times on other threads, the second strongest correlative factor for physical and sexual abuse is strong religiosity in the parents. that is to say, alcoholism is the strongest factor correlated with abuse in a home, but if you want to look at sober families then the factor to look at is how religious the parents are...the more religious they are, the more likely (statistically) it is that their kids are abused.

all you have to do is take a little drive to that section of arizona that lies between the grand canyon and the utah border. *shudder*

i guess it goes on so often there that its not a scandal for an old man to be married to his 14 year old step granddaughter.

that not mainstream mormon by any means but they certainly think of themselves as the one true church.

Oh and like the Jews and Christians are any better? No religioin is free of moral corruption, even though they profess to be the centre of moral superiority...

Naw, I think it was mroe directed to the person who made the "religion of peace" crack earlier.
