Print Story: Ga. megachurch pastor accused in sex scandal - Yahoo! News
It seems that monthly some Evangelical Preacher (often the billionaire hucksters) are exposed in some sexual misconduct.
"ATLANTA – As a Christian author, gospel singer and leader of one of the nation's best-known black megachurches, Bishop Eddie Long finds a wide audience for messages such as marriage is "between one man and one woman." Those words hung heavy Wednesday over accusations that the TV preacher, a married father of four, used jewelry, cars and cash to lure three young men into sexual relationships.
Lawsuits filed Tuesday and Wednesday say the young men were 17 or 18 years old at the time, enrolled in New Birth Missionary Baptist Church's ministry for teen boys."
Attention has been given to Catholic Priests and sex scandals, but there has been a free ride for right wing Evangelical (Fundamentalist) Protestants involved in sexual scandals. There are several stories in America of Evangelical Christian Megachurch Pastors traveling with young males or enticing sex from youth members in their congregations.
There seems to me to be a psychological (Brain generated) link between religiosity and sexual perversion.) It seems that the pastors who are most vocal against homosexuality, same sex marriage, or other sexual deviance are the ones most prone to practice those deviations.
I can not recall reading of a Quantum Physicist, Geologist, Biochemist, Volcanologist, Mathematician, Evolutionary Palaeontologist, or Tectonic geophysicist caught in some paedophilia or homosexual scandals. Yet a vast majority of those science professionals are atheists or atheistic agnostics.
There are thousands and thousands of non-religious scientists in America but I know of no paedophiles or sexual deviants among this large group.
The Roman Catholic and the Christian Fundamentalist extremists seem rife with priest/pastor sexual scandals.
My hypothesis is that science knowledge is primarily left hemisphere in the rational circuits of the brain.
However, Conservative Catholicism and Christian Ultra-Fundamentalist Evangelicals dominate the US news regarding Paedophilia and other sexual misbehaviours. These people have weaker rational-sceptical networks but a hyperconnective emotional system (including sexual urges.) Those are overwhelmingly right brain hemisphere (the emotional brain) which may also explain glossolalia. Glossolalia is dissociation of rational from emotional language production.
Is paedophilia and sexual deviation a brain disorder related to intense religiosity? Or is a weak rational-sceptical left brain structure created by bad genetics? Is a weak rational sceptical left brain due to meme induction of irrational religious belief that damages rational circuits while enhancing hyper-emotional or hyper-sexual right brain?
