Kinda feel like the number of times pastors, priests, and other religious leaders have gotten caught doing this reflects some kind of pattern, I just can't seem to put my finger on it...

Most research shows that child predators seek out positions of authority and trust in order to best take advantage of youth. It not only forms a relationship of trust, but one of fear if they speak out. Id imagine it's way easier to become a pastor/preacher/preist than it is a teacher, or school liaison officer, or community leader.
Not saying there aren't problems with the church/religion as a whole. Christianity especially, most Christians now days represent almost everything Jesus spoke against.

As an atheist, I find it surreal that I behave more in line with Christ's teachings than most Christians I know. And I know the bible better, which is also weird.

Every time I read that phrase (amen brother), I hear it in my head in Hulk Hogan's voice. Is that weird?

Funny how more religion didnt turn this guy into a better person, ...seems to have had the opposite effect in fact. Might be a lesson in there for all of us.
