[DuaneBidoux]

GREENWICH, Conn., Nov. 5 —The troubles at Christ Church began on Oct. 7, when a church employee said he had found pornographic images of prepubescent boys on a laptop computer that the church’s longtime music director had lent him.

2. I don't give a rip who attends, has attended, or will attend that church.

They need to turn the computer over to the police.

3. in the words of Bill Hicks:

"If the FBI's motivating factor for busting down the Koresh compound was child abuse, how come we never see Bradley tanks smashing into Catholic churches?"

4. at first glance I read this as "Pornography Injury"...

:rofl:

5. At what Point?

Although I agree that if a Church official is caught with Kiddie Porn they should be turn over to the authorities, I have to ask at what point are we going to extremes and turning this into a witch hunt. The extreme right in Texas is advocating the death penalty for child molesters while allowing those convicted of pre-meditated murder out of jail after 4 to 5 years. I have to ask are we now looking for Weapons of Mass Destruction in every facet of every society?

6. so your position is we should go easy on child porn?

that we're being too extreme?

interesting.
