I don't think so. Could you ever envision yourself having sex with pre-pubescent people? No matter how desperate I am and how easy children are I simply wouldn't fornicate with them because I haven no sexual attraction to them. I would say that said priests have always had paedophilic urges. I don't think it has anything to do with them taking advantage of children because they're easy.

As I said in a previous post, guys tend not to think clearly when they're horny. I suspect that most of those priests would probably screw a lamppost if they thought they could get away with it. So, I agree with those who suggested that those priests turn to paedophilia because they see it as easier and less likely of getting caught.
Bear in mind that there are also priests who have affairs with adult women and men. It's just not reported as loudly or as often.

Except that the sheer fact of making contact with a race of aliens will force us to reconsider our dogmas.

After reading people's objections to my post (and, frankly, I was hesitant about it when first typing it), I'm going to water it down slightly to 'challenge our dogmas'. Whether anyone actually reconsiders them is a different matter.

Any numbers to back that up? I don't know what necessitates the attack on atheists in particular when you get the very same lack of distinction in discussions on politics and games consoles and football teams etc.

You're right. People in general are shit at seperating respect for a person and respect for an idea. I just object to the suggestion that it is something that religious people do more often than atheists. In my experience - and bear in mind that I know a lot of ultra-orthodox people - atheists are just as close-minded about different viewpoints as religious people are.
