Post Washington Post admits Christianity is dangerous!

From <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A14253-2002Jul28.html" target="_blank">How Deep are the Scars of Abuse?</a>

"'The easiest targets are the devout, because they can be conned more easily,' said psychologist Gary Schoener of Minneapolis, who has counseled hundreds of clergy victims."

It's nice to see a major newspaper finally print someone admitting to this.

VoF,

I think what they were saying is that sexual abuse is destructive, not that Christianity is dangerous.

Of course perps usually have better access to the victim if they have the trust of the child and the parents, as priests generally do.

But if this means Christianity is dangerous, then family and friends are even more dangerous.


Peace
