I know some people (Christians) think that atheists pointing out the “sins” of the “faithful” is just cheap potshots, but I think it should do a good job of pointing out the fact that belief in God doesn’t make you morally superior.

For example there’s the Catholic priests who take vows of celibacy and try to tell others who they can have sex with and under what circumstances, but then rape children. Then there’s the church structure that has created legal loopholes that allow the pedophiles to brag…uh, I mean confess…to their bosses and not only do the bosses not need to fire them, but they cannot and are not required by law to report it to the authorities. Then they can just move the guy out of the jurisdiction before the authorities catch on.

Then there’s Pastor David Love who has now plead guilty in the murder of a church member, the husband of the pastor’s mistress. On top of it the victim considered Love to be “the most influential person in his life, and he sometimes attended weekly counseling sessions with him.” On top of it, the pastor spoke at his victim’s funeral.

Another pastor, Tracy Bernard Burleson and his son shared a lover, then the pastor allegedly paid his son to kill his wife (the son’s step-mother). That’s just wrong on so many levels.

If pastors are any model of Christian morality, then they certainly have no moral superiority over anybody else.
