Yet another religious cult raided

[Jester]

Certainly some individuals identifying themselves as religious (like Tammy Faye and Jim Baker) are noteworthy failures and iconic figures in the tabloids and scandal rags. But, to then characterize every religious leader or man as essentially lustful and plagued with perverted thoughts is painting with a pretty broad bigoted brush.

Wow, that degenerated into accusations of bigotry pretty fast.

Humans, in general, have sexual urges. This is not bigotry, this is biology. Plumbers, Rastafarians, Astronauts, Butchers, Bakers (and Bakkers) and Candlestick makers all experience "lustful" thoughts. I'm sure, amongst the approximately 2.5 billion "religious men" there are some who are completely asexual, some who are strictly monogamous, some who are sexually promiscuous, and some who are sexual predators. There are probably millions in each category, and "religious people in general" is an absurdly huge group of people to make any single statement about. I'm not making any such claim.

However, the negative "all" claim is ridiculous. The idea that religion yields some kind of immunity to sexual temptation is not only wrong, but hopelessly naive.
