Hey! Shouldn't you be lauding that Florida church for seemingly recognizing the exact propensity that you always post about and doing something about it?

Hey Dan, any chance of some uberlist of all the religious pedo's that you've posted about over the years?. Even more interesting would be info on what happened to these (I hate to use the term...) people both legally and in their religious appointments after getting busted. I keep hearing about discoveries and arrests, but I'm still waiting for a "sentanced to 50 years and daily rapes by bubba"

Wow, I thought being Catholic was risky. After months of these posts though, it seems being Baptist isn't a safe bet either....

Have these people been convicted?

If they have, swell.

If they haven't, I have to ask, what ever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

We're just watching, Michael, not convicting. Of course these men are innocent until proven guilty.

And, hey, I was indicted once, and no one waited for a conviction to run stories about my lil' indictment.

So does the policy in the Florida church ban one child and any one adult being alone together, or does that mean one child and any one non-married adult?

If the latter, don't some pedophiles get married? Or did they have to write in that dispensation so the pastor-in-chief could have his alone time, just nobody else?....

Don't let your child sleep over at the youth pastor's house. Christ.

They all look so, so rapey.
