This Is BEYOND Disturbing

People are still reeling from the terrible terrorism attack at a gay bar in Orlando, Florida a week ago. Sadly, there have been a few of the "ultra-conservative" "Christian" ministers who have shunned the gays, in some underhanded way praising what happened because "homosexuality is a sin," or whatnot.
That's disturbing.
However, what is beyond disturbing is a story from southern Indiana, near Louisville, earlier this week. A man who is the pastor of a church was arrested in an undercover sex sting when he traveled from his home in Jeffersonville, Indiana to Frankfort, Kentucky to meet an underage girl for sex.
Here's the part I find so incredibly egregious as to be beyond words.
This pastor (not one of many ministers in a church, mind you, but the pastor) was "placed on temporary administrative leave" while he sits in jail (unless he's been bailed out: the bond was $10,000 cash). Meanwhile, other churches have FIRED ministers or staff members for announcing that they were gay, for marrying gay couples, or even for supporting gays. But this guy, who wanted to have sex with a 13-year-old girl, is on "temporary administrative leave."
At least the gays are consenting adults.
Beyond disturbing.

@moffittjc I agree, that is disturbing for sure. He should get what every other pedophile gets and be dismissed from ever being a minister again

I'm not convinced that most pedophiles ever get what they actually deserve for their heinous crimes, but let's hope there are more serious consequences for this creep other than "administrative leave."

You'd think with all the proof and reveals of the church covering for their pedo pastors and priests people would have realised they shouldn't be trusted by now

Those wackos are just plain nuts. They hate anything that is not like they want them to be. Being gay is not a choice. They are born that way. If these sick Bast**ds had their way, they would kill everyone that is gay, black, hispanic, arabic and ones with deformities. And the retarded. How sick are these creeps. They are the true creeps on this planet. If anyone should be eliminated it should be those radical religious freaks.

yes it is absolutely disgusting but those hypocrites aren't true christians. They are just hateful people who try to pick and choose parts of the religion to make it seem like their hateful ways are right

Sadly, some of the worst sinners and the most evil people on this earth are those that profess to be Christians. We live in some very sad times.

Irrelevant of their sexuality, a lot of people have been killed when they were just out for a good time.
Anyone who does not condemn that happening isn't someone I'd care to know.
