Youth leader arrested

PASCAGOULA, Miss. - A former youth leader at a church in the St. Martin community has been returned to Mississippi on a warrant accusing him of molesting several girls.

Jackson County Sheriff Mike Byrd said Roy Steven Wesley was arrested in Marietta, Ga., earlier this and was returned on Friday to face the felony molestation charge.

Byrd said the molestation allegedly occurred in 2005 at the church in the St. Martin community. The sheriff did not identify the church where Wesley once served.

1. Typical.
Why is it that it's always so-called Christians perpetrating these kinds of crimes?

2. The ministry attracts them
just as being a coach, teacher, etc--they are all jobs where they are in authority and around the kids they wish to molest--and they can hide behind the cloak of respectability of the job description to get away with it--at least until recently.

3. I'm sure it never happens anywhere else.

Its always America, always a christian and always a man.
Or perhaps we haven't gotten around to shining the light in other dark corners.
Perhaps nuns do it too, or maybe Buddhist's or hindus.

Or maybe its just religion in general.
Power tripping ego maniac perverts, all of em.

Hows that for a broad stoke?

4. Your skepticism and sarcasm is duly noted,
but the question remains. It's not often one hears of Bhuddists, Hindus, or Muslims doing what so-called Christian males do to/with their altar boys. Rabbis in synagogues seem to increasingly share this peculiar form of worship as well, of late. Yes, it may seem at first blush to be a a broad-brush-smear, but if the cassock fits...

5. Have other religions been looked at as heavily?
Thats my question.
Maybe this is just the tip of the ice berg
and we'll find out, which is what I believe, that they're all freaks.
And religion is just one big world wide
perverted sex obsession being run by nuts who see ghost's.
