Both Sides(?)

In the atmosphere of All Shutdown All The Time, it became fairly easy to overlook this one from a law professor at Liberty University:

The Christian mission field is a “magnet” for sexual abusers, Boz Tchividjian, a Liberty University law professor who investigates abuse said Thursday (Sept. 26) to a room of journalists.

While comparing evangelicals to Catholics on abuse response, ”I think we are worse,” he said at the Religion Newswriters Association conference, saying too many evangelicals had “sacrificed the souls” of young victims.

What is it with these god freaks?  If they're not invading the Middle East - or hatching plots in the Middle East to blow up the infidels - they're hanging "witches" or "honor murdering" teenaged girls for the sin of being raped; or they're preaching hellfire and brimstone about home and family while buying meth from their homosexual lovers etc etc etc.  And in this country, they get to do all that in the comfort and safety of a tax-free corporate office.

But back to the point - maybe we should be taking a much closer look at the high rate of incidence of sexual assault/sexual abuse in organizations with very top-down authoritarian power structures - like churches and the US military - and maybe we shouldn't be leaving them alone with the kids.
