There are bad apples in every religious denomination. 99% are good but there's always that1% that gives the rest of the people bad names.
Like this is a surprise, SB's are almost as bad as evangelicals.
Whenever I read about sexual abuse being rife among religious groups or sects. Irrespective of what religion it might be, I am NEVER in the least bit surprised!
It goes along with religion. The more repressed people are, the more they rebel and do what they're not supposed to do.
Many pastors become so self-righteous that they feel like they don't have to follow the rules.
@Andres77 I agree!
They're a conservative evangelical denomination of Christianity. This is less of a discovery and more like verification of the inevitable.
Surprised? Most pastors are devils. It's right in the Bible. Jesus warned to beware of such leaders he called wolves in sheep's clothing.
according to the dept of ed in a 2015 study 1 in 10 students are molested in the public ed system
the media just focuses on churches even thought heir abuse rates are lower than other institutions
Not surprised, it’s religion.
look at any religious group and you will find the same stuff.
Duuuh. Of course this has been happening, just as it has happened in every authoritarian group ever.
And people wonder why I don't trust religious institutions
Nothing compared to the centuries of Catholic abuses
Can you believe ANYTHING the New York Times publishes?
Shocking... sexual abuse and the church whoda think it
God is getting His Justice by shrinking their churches and shrinking baptist families.
I assumed everyone’s known about that for longer than anyone has been alive
My church is not like that if it was I would Find another Baptist Church
Not surprising. Lots of deviants drape their deeds in religion.
Not surprised. Religion has a history of sweeping things under the rug.
I don’t find it very surprising.
From the New York Times, a liberal organization that wants religions outlawed.
