The response is typical…

The mediator says…

It's not the church, it's the wolves in sheeps clothing. People pray on the young the innocent and the weak, in churches and out of churches. There are more headline news of child rape and molestation out of the church than in. Look around you, bad stuff happens everywhere and they will get judgement in this life or the next.

I'm in a line of work that I see this daily don't judge the church as a whole judge the sick individuals that cause this confusion

Of course we know the is no such thing as “the church”, there are only people who act in the name of their church. When they act by molesting children, if paints all members with a corrupt brush. Especially if it is your pastor…

tt says…

PEOPLE WILL USE ANY KIND OF NEGATIVITY TO EXPLOIT THE CHURCH....STICK TO THE POINT. A FEW BAD APPLES DON'T SPEAK FOR EVERYONE THERE. NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO THERE'S BAD PEOPLE WE LIVE IN A SICK WORLD, FAR WORSE WITHOUT GOD. IT'S STILL NO EXCUSE TO GIVE UP ON MORALS AND TRUTH. JUST MEANS IT'S A SIGN THAT THE END IS HERE AND WE SHOULD BE ASKING OURSELVES WHO'S ON THE LORDS SIDE?

We are not exploiting the church. Don’t be silly. We are simply saying that your pastor, the guy who taught you all about values and morals, apparently has none of his own. That make your understanding of morality flawed.
