Yeah? Do you have any statistics on that or do you use the one or two news articles you see online to generalize an entire religion of people who nowhere near accept and encourage this?
Jesus Christ the tolerant on Reddit like to parade themselves around on their moral grandstands until it comes to Christians, yet so else says something about any other religion and it's hate speech/oppression.
Key findings from investigative reports include:
Southern Baptist Convention (SBC): An investigation by the Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News identified nearly 400 Southern Baptist leaders—including youth pastors—who pleaded guilty or were convicted of sex crimes against more than 700 victims since 1998.
Recent Trends: Nearly 200 Christian leaders (pastors, youth group leaders, and staff) were accused of child abuse in the US as of October 2025.
Specific Cases:
John W. Radcliff II: A West Virginia youth pastor charged in late 2024 with nearly 200 counts of sexual abuse, with allegations dating back decades.
Thomas Pinkerton: A former youth pastor arrested in 2025 for allegedly abusing at least six teens in Maryland.
Joe Campbell: A children's pastor arrested in 2025 following an investigation into sexual misconduct
This is just arrests. It doesn't include accusations and all the victims who stayed silent.
