Argh! This thing called christianity... Before I go on,no one is perfect,I know that. Not even pastors or bishops or reverends or whatever the heck they choose to call themselves. Even I am far from being the best "christian" or church goer. But I know how to go to my God without the help of a pastor. Of course you all know by now where this post is going,you probably have all read or heard about the popular pentecostal church pastor in london that was accused of molesting two boys in his church and has now confessed. Appalling hunh? I know! I am disgusted,angry and above all hurt! What is there to judge? He has admitted to his crimes. He did it,he preyed on those boys,took their innocence away and then you sit there and blame the devil?! Oh please! cut the bull! When he knew he was battling with his sexuality why didn't he seek help? Why didn't he come out then and ask his beloved church and followers to pray for him then? Heck why didn't he seek out older men to explore his sexuality with? That's his problem,if after wife and kids he decides to play for the other team or test run his "equipment" on another race course,but why those kids?! Instead he chose to continue living in denial of his problem while enjoying the benefits of being called "man of God".
So I ask,what makes this man special? What makes him different from the many other pedophiles who are accused and sentenced everyday for heinous crimes committed on young boys (and girls)? Because of the title "pastor"? He needs your prayers quite alright but what about the others?
Before you answer the question ask yourself this- What if it was by son?or brother?or cousin? or nephew? or you?
Would your answer still be the same?
He didn't confess to sleeping with a female church member or male for that matter,he confessed to molesting YOUNG boys!
I pray none of you are ever a victim of child abuse or molestation. You will never know till you walk a mile in my shoes.
Judge not,but don't stand up for foolishness.
Till next time Peace,Love,Harmony and Respect

People put too much faith and trust in pastors. I don't just find it annoying, i find it disgusting and stupid. So many 'Men of God' are involved in cases like this. I'm never surprised. Religion is between you and God, that's all.
