Dan, if you don't have three evil youth pastor stories, you don't need to use a non-evil youth pastor story as filler. Two evil youth pastor stories is fine.

Just because someone is a wrestler AND a youth pastor, it doesn't make them evil. An asshole? Probably. But not evil.

I'm just trying to show that not all youth pastors are evil. I'm trying to be fair here people. And balanced. After all it's called "Youth Pastor Watch," not "Evil Youth Pastor Watch."

And come on, Catalina, wouldn't you wanna watch youth pastors wrestle?

Newsflash! Area youth pastor has a goatee, plays a guitar and wears a sweater vest! Details at 11.

is there a better way to legally feel young boys than wrestling them?

I don't know whether to believe you or not Dan (re: comment #3) but putting this wrestling kid who has done nothing wrong in your "Youth Pastor Watch" - a recurring feature that *always* highlights creepy, criminal youth pastors - is really, really, really weak. Really weak.

Look, you piss me off often, but this is wrong. If you're really trying to show that not all youth pastors are evil, do it in a different post and call it "Positive Youth Pastor News." I suspect that wasn't really what you were trying to do here. I suspect you bolded "wrestling" for a reason.

You're an adult, dude. And a journalist. You should really make this right.
