More examples of so called Christians talking the talk and not walking the walk. I don't have much use for these wasted pieces of human skin. It makes it even worse when they present themselves getting their moral teachings from the Bible.

Why do people believe that Christians or people identifying themselves as such do not do the same things non believers do!? People want to criticize Christians for breaking the law, but justify it when they do it!

... and, of course, Christians are just human, why do you pick on them? That's the other predictable response.
Maybe when Joe Everyman breaks the law he is not claiming to be especially holy, redeemed, regenerated or triumphant over sin. Maybe he's not a pastor in a position of authority. Maybe he's not held to a higher standard because he doesn't claim to honor a higher standard or doesn't have a position of special trust or influence.

Hmm?
What they did was wrong, and they should pay for it. Please explain why you believe Christians should be criticized more than non believers for the same behavior? That seems hypocritical. If this news story was NOT about a Pastor or "Christian", I doubt you would have commented on it.

Not because they were Christians but because they were pastors, you know the moral leaders of their congregation. And as far as being news, when a police officer gets caught shoplifting or a teacher have sex with an underage students that is news and will always be more news worthy than if a plumber or sales clerk did either of those things. If the couple were just everyday people who happened to be Christians who did this I would totally agree with you. The story is about a Pastor NOT a Christian, at least in my mind.

Yes ... not even that they are pastors, but leaders in a position of special trust. The higher standard would trust would be at least as true of a fund manager or mayor or prison warden.
It's telling that despite making extraordinary claims sometimes made for the superpowers of spiritual leaders ... such as that they are a spiritual covering for those under them to protect them from Satanic attack and harms ... there is still special pleading galore when they "make mistakes", to the point where the sheeple can't even see a NORMAL level of responsibility for their actions, much less something commensurate with the role of these people in an imagined spiritual warfare.
Thanks for sparing me pointing out the obvious I always wonder whether they are ignoring what they are replying to in order to avoid having to address it, or if they don't bother to read it, or if it bounces off their FundASheild (tm).
