The Lord works in mysterious ways — 9/27

a recurring recap of God’s omnipotence

Religious followers believe their god protects and guides them. But god never shows up. Every religion is led only by humans, who often turn out to be charlatans, swindlers, or perverts.

Of course, the vast majority of crooked or pervy religious leaders get away with everything. Of those that are caught, many are quietly reassigned to other duties, not defrocked or punished. Of the few cases that aren’t hushed up, there’s no knowing how many make the news, but undoubtedly I miss most of them, in compiling this occasional list.
