Of course if we started looking into the reasons why many "family" members did what they did to their daughters/sons, Im sure we might find some type of religious belief behind their motive. Of course there are those who are just bent...MALE OR FEMALE.
None of this has any bearing on the discussion at hand. We are specifically discussing the role of religious leaders in this horrific and disgusting phenomenon. We can start different posts for School leaders, coaches or parents.
I personally think those that simply brush this under the carpet are wrong and in the end they likely will need more help down the road. Im sure when you have children you would feel the same way if your particular Pastor raped your child.
Your digging a hole on that, we are to all assume that most domestic/family abuse has motives created by religion? I think you've lost sight that most who don't like the thread are because there is too much focus on a religious sect when this is truly a social issue. What about substance abuse which then leads to domestic violence? I think that's high up on the food chain for origins.
