hashtagsarestupidI should be surprised.
I should be.
Share it so that people can get into this conversation, 'cause we're not the only ones who think like this.It almost sounds like the relaxation method where someone tries to take all their negative emotional and imagine channelling them out of their body.
However in reality it just seems he is in lots of denial about his sexuality and is abusing a position of power.
By the powers invested in me by tabloid-reading imbeciles, I pronounce you guilty of paedophilia!I think its more along the lines that any position where you have prolonged contact with kids is a potential worry and that private areas where that happens (Christian camps being one of them as they are not run by the state) tend to have a lack of guidlines that are quite as stringent as public ones (where the government will get the blame).
Its also the case that with teachers there is a great deal more of them than there are Pastor's, and as such there is room for people who can "slip through the net", whereas with pastors there are fewer of them but more apparent perverts. That and the hypocrisy, a teacher who does this kind of thing is a monsterous abuser of trust, whereas with a pastor they are a monsterous abuser of trust who believes they have divine backing for it.
Indeed, it pisses me off that anyone around children is suspect for no reason other than they prefer to work with children. Especially men.
Even more so because the reasoning given is invariably "if even one child is saved from abuse, all the suspicion is worth it." Bullshit. That kind of reasoning always assumes the endless paranoia and baseless assumptions aren't doing their own damage. It's getting to the point where it's very difficult to commmunicate comfortably and effectively with children because you don't want to draw the attention of people who think the worst of any given interaction.

... by having sex with them.
No, really.
What's precedent ever done for us?
