I don’t disagree but we shouldn’t demonize the ones that aren’t predators. They are victims of the same indoctrination I grew up with. They’re trapped in a box they don’t know how to open from the inside and don’t even know they’re in. It’s a platos cave problem.
I had a lot of decent youth pastors when I was young that genuinely cared about their kids. Most all of them were simply ignorant but not malicious. They were victims of the same bullshit indoctrination I had been. Unfortunately they just couldn’t ever find their way out of the box. I just feel bad now for the people who are too far gone to get out.
That being said I had one high school pastor that was fired after he announced he was going to marry one of the students.
