Only Christians shoot their wounded. And gossip and slander, which the Bible lumps together with murder, are rampant in some congregations, of EVERY denomination and creed. Sounds like this man needed an open ended sabbatical, until he can heal. Pastoring is an unbelievably stressful job, because no matter how rotten your congregants are, or how bad your marriage is, or how troubled your homelife is, you’re expected to be perfect, or as close to it, as possible.

Are you sure? Muslims, I understand, can be pretty tough on each other, as can Hindus. Don't even have a clue about Buddhists, but I wouldn't be surprised. And, of course, atheists and pagans have been fairly competent practitioners of slaughter.
