These two groups are fairly centralized and therefore have deep pockets. Go get em!

I say, "I think", because this raises the spectre of eavesdropping, but I assume AOL's Terms of Service likely disclose this.<br /> <br /> Regardless, pedophilia and child por**graphy are horrid abuses against innocent children, and to hide these crimes behind religious clap-trap (e.g. "If you tell anyone about this, little boy, Jesus will send you to Hell") is unforgivable.<br /> <br /> Want to keep updated on "Black-Collar Crime"? Subscribe to Freethought Today, the monthly newspaper published by Freedom From Religion Foundation. Dozens of crimes alleged, prosecuted, and convicted are documented in each issue; all of them committed by members of various clergy and church authorities. The gamut is astonishing: embezelement, assault, rape, murder, child abuse (sexual and other) -- and these are only the ones that readers send in to Freethought Today. Think of how many other instances of clergy-crime never see the light of day.<br /> <br /> Hope this pastor gets the full monty in jail-time for his despicable behavior.
