Anyone heard something like this before?: preacher uses position of authority to use followers for sex

http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/09/21/georgia.pastor.abuse/index.html?hpt=T1

I figure there are a few ways to look at it:
1. Long may be guilty of using his position of authority to manipulate and use members but it doesn't prove his church is not true
2. It proves his church is not true because God wouldn't allow a representative of Him do something so wrong
3. God doesn't really care. Use people all you want. He's busy making stars go supernova...

4. There is no God -- people made Him/Her/It up to get sex from Its followers. ;) (n/t)

Another possible way of looking at this

You can't trust preachers any more than any other human. Just because a preacher says something is this way or that, does not mean it is true.

So right Skunk, what a shocker!

As a god fearing Catholic I pray that the pope will hold a summit on this and figure out a way to keep it from happening elsewhere.

Today this guy said...

he was going to fight this like David fought Goliath.

Per Bible, David threw rocks at Goliath, he didn't boink him into submission.
