Also, are you consistent here? For a while, there wasn't a week gone by that the MSM wasn't reporting of yet another public educator (and on occasion, a private-school educator as well) who had been arrested of sexually abusing a student.
Whenever these articles have popped up on FR (about school educators), have you posted the above stat with an accompanying, "So you can’t just point fingers at the public school system you dislike when a sexual predator pretends to be 'educationally-minded' to target kids" ????
And...by parallel, do you REALLY think all school teachers guilty of sexually abusing students merely have "pretended" to be kid-oriented (in a good way) and "educationally-minded" just to get them into closer proximity with kids??? I don't think so...; I think many do...and many don't ... but who knows the breakdown? (I don't)
What? Do you think all of these teachers merely disguised their pedophilia in order to get closer to kids, or do you think that perhaps in many cases, circumstances/temptations /poor choices could explain them as well???
Why is it that in these church cases, it's supposedly "pretend" Mormons or "EX-Mormons" with emphasis on the "Ex" part -- but when teachers are the guilty party, nobody accuses them of being "pretend" educators or emphasizes how they are now "ex-teachers" as ways of trying to exculpate the school system...???
...Seems awfully and highly inconsistent to me...Just sayin'...
Colofornian. You made the assertion, did you not, that Mormon's have "way more" than their share of sexual crimes?
I asked you to cite a study that backs your claim.
If such a study exists, certainly it would be an easy thing to post a link to it here and shut me up.
Anecdotal stories, cherry-picked from the Internet prove nothing, and you know it.
Find your study, show me that Mormons are statistically more likely to commit sexual crimes than Evangelicals or any other religion and I'll concede your point.
