I love hypocrites. Especially religious ones. Here are three stories from newspapers around the world this week.
The minister
From Fox News in Australia (Fox News, so you know it has to be true)
“A pastor who preached ‘no sex before marriage’ will fight to remain head of his church after being accused of having relationships with three women in his flock,” the Fox web site said. Well, at least he wasn’t violating his “no sex before marriage” rule. He had been married.
Apparently Bill Pryor, 69, had sex with three women in his congregation. Members of the church think he should resign. Pryor thinks he should be forgiven.
Even his son thinks he should resign. Guess he’s on mom’s side.
The priest
From Catholic.com:
“Bishop Murray of Limerick Steps Down Amid Scandal” reports Zenit, a Rome-based Catholic news organization.
The Pope has accepted the resignation of Irish bishop Donl Murray, 69, of Limerick for “failing to adequately deal with allegations brought to his attention as prelate.”
A report released last month said that the bishop handled the reports of priests who are child abusers “particularly badly” and didn’t even crack down on the particularly egregious case of Rev. Thomas Naughton. That priest was convicted of rape. Twice.
The rabbi
And this from the Israeli newspaper HaAretz:
This one involves an Orthodox rabbi, Leib Tropper, from Rockland County, N.Y., and a woman from Houston he was in the process of converting.
In a recorded phone call, the rabbi demanded the woman service him and his friends sexually in exchange for her certificate of conversion. In Israel, only conversions by Orthodox rabbis are accepted as valid for purposes of citizenship and other legal rights. Probably because of their strong sense of heterosexual morality.
HA HA !!….Yes, it seems that if you want to find the lowest, sleaziest, most perverted adulterers, pedophiles, and deviants, you have only to look no further than the nearest christian church (or any other denomination for that matter). Here is another one for you, this caught my eye from the AP news wire…”Evangelist sentenced to 175 years for sex crimes”…don`t you love that headline! Here is a link to the same story from the Huffington Post…https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/13/tony-alamo-evangelist-sen_n_357709.html. It seems that the more “evangelical” they are, the more perverse and corrupt. Yes, lets hear it!….3 cheers for christian family values…how wholesome! With that kind of wholesomeness, who needs depravity? Bottom feeders the lot of `em.
I think the one that troubles me the most is the Rabi. Not that the other two are not, shall we say, “abominations to God”, but demanding the woman service him AND his friends sexually (!) in exchange for her certificate of conversion where only conversions by Orthodox rabbis are accepted as valid for purposes of citizenship… man, that is cruel! Of course, there is plenty of blame to go around on this list. I realize this list is this years worst-of-the-worst, but… common. Maybe it’s time we took a hard look at Religion in general.
No, this isn’t a worst of the worst list. These are all creeps who made the news last week.
