Men of the cloth. - Jesus fuckin christ

[OAS]

A fuckin fool who deserved to be nailed to a piece of wood.

Forgive him father, for he know not what he does.

What I'm more pissed about is the fact that these men were able to get into the church. I don't pretend to know anything about the process, but shouldn't there be some kind of psychological screening, etc? In all reality this scandal is giving a bad name to all, when it really is some who are doimg these heineous (sp) things to children.

Wouldn't that sort of bring into question why would someone want to be a man of the cloth? Why would someone choose to be a priest? I can only wonder what thier childhood was like and how they were raised.

but shouldn't there be some kind of psychological screening, etc?

I submit that anyone who's soooo into religion that they make it their life, is insane. Therefore, there is no way in hell that a potential priest could pass a psychological screening.

[OAS]

I can honestly say that as much as I enjoy sex, there are things I would give it up for.....maybe for some God is worth giving it up for....

God taught you to go forth and multiply. So get your calculator out and get to work. {}

To be an officer in the NYPD, you need to take a psychological test, and they ask you why you want to be a cop. The people there are trained to see through the bullshit, and they don't allow people who they feel are dangerous don't get to go into the Academy. Maybe if the church instituted a screening process it could keep some, but not all men who have bad intentions out.

the church is in dire need of priests. they aren't going to turn to many people away.
plus its in their nature to trust people. most of the priests that have done these things probably won't come off as bad people in normal conversations, and for the most part are probably very nice.

who would do the screening though...

I see your point, Polly. For some reason, it seems, Religion is above the law, tho.

[PollyannaFlower46]

People who had nothing to hide. People who wanted to be preists because they really wanted to "serve God."

For some reason, it seems, Religion is above the law, tho.

And there lies the problem. There was no reason that the church should have been able to deny the DA a list of names.

I'll be sure to tell that to the children of one of my former employees who had their parents killed in Dover Township when I attend their wake tomorrow.

its called reasonable forseeable risk...some people are just good actors...I never said the system was perfect, but just imagine how many more Dover Townships there could be if the people weren't screened at all, not that it makes what happened any better.

[GonzoStyle]

Bottom line is nothing is perfect. We are always gonna have crooked cops, dishonest politicians, pederast priests, dumb teachers, unclean cooks, and fucked up posters on message boards who find rape and suffering funny. You can not be perfect in any sense of the word, you can only hope to bat above .800 and make due with the best you have. As long as humans decide our fate and our system of living it can not be perfect because people are not perfect.

No matter how careful your screening is, no matter how perfect your tests are. You are always gonna have terrorist attacks, crazy cops, and priests who will stick their cocks in any hole avaiable.

[IkeaBoy]

pederast priests

What's a pederast Gonzo?

And yes, people are generally, genuinely flawed but to me taking Bribes is worse than learning that "they're all pink on the inside"

[PollyannaFlower46]

and priests who will stick their cocks in any hole avaiable.

Which still doesn't answer why Rabbi's don't seem to get mixed up in this....

Rabbis are allowed to have sex Polly.

[PollyannaFlower46]

Rabbis are allowed to have sex Polly.

Yes, but only to have babies, and their wives have to shave their heads and wear wigs, and also they do it through sheets!

[IkeaBoy]

Depends with denomination and the head shaving thing is a lie created to fuck with Dafna

[PollyannaFlower46]

No, the head shaving is real, trust me, my family is Jewish. Not all married relgious Jewish women have to do it, but if you marry a Rabbi, off with your hair!

[GonzoStyle]

That's why rabbis have more kids than father falnnigans boys town.

For Ikea
