There is such a fine line here. On one hand, do you want the state to just start breaking down church doors (or any doors) with no evidence? On the other hand, do we want to ignore signs that there is child rape going in the name of religion? You gotta protect innocent little kids, but at the same time, government will run wild with their power against any religious organization it sees fit.

It's tough, but I really would have to come down on the side of these poor little girls that 50 year old perverted men impregnating. It is morally reprehensible.

Agreed. That's why it is essential that the electorate remain informed and engaged. We can't maintain protection against a swing to either side unless we are vigilant.

Of course, this is why I now fear for our republic.

This should be a no-brainer. It's disturbing that we have to have any doubt that the sheriff/judge took appropriate care before issuing an appropriate warrant, but experience with overzealous government means that we have to always be wary.
