"Think about getting hit in the stomach unexpectedly and getting the wind knocked out of you."
That's how Pastor John Anderson describes his congregations reaction after one of the
East Tucson Baptist Church youth ministers was arrested for several sex crimes.
Anderson said, "Shock, anger, denial rationalization, all of those are taking place right now."
Taking place because Christopher Decaire was arrested on Friday and charged with nine felonies. He's accused of sexually molesting a 13-year-old girl from the church.
"We're still numb, we're speechless."
The alleged victim told a relative who then called police.
This is the search warrant officers served the church on Friday. It shows police got swabs of Christoper Decaire's mouth for DNA. Other evidence they looked for included pieces of flooring, couches, curtains and other furniture found to contain biological material when viewed with a forensic light source.
Police say those materials would indicate they suspect some of the acts of abuse occurred at the church.
Pastor anderson says Decaire served two years with student ministries at the church, but he'd been attending for eight years.
Anderson says a situation like this doesn't only effect the two families involved, it effects everyone.
"In order for us to do what God wants us to do we need to rally around them, walk beside them through this time, as we deal with the grief of all of this," Anderson explained.
Decaire is charged with two counts molestation of a child, four counts sexual conduct of a minor, two counts sexual abuse and one count sexual abuse of a child because police say the abuse may have gone on for a year.
Pastor Anderson says Christopher Decaire was immediately put on administrative leave following his arrest.
STORY LINK
If he actually wanted to know what his god wanted, why not open up his supposed bible? It clearly spells out the punishments for this sort of thing:
Dueteronomy 22:28-29 KJV "28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days."
Well there you go. He is supposed to buy her from her father and get married to her. If he would have done this in a field then he should be put to death as in Deut. 22:25.
But they were not in a field. So the silver and marriage would be the thing that their god would want.
Hypocrites.
They have to know it's in there. Why do they ignore it? Could it be that they also know it shows the stupidity of their god?
These Pastors when faced with
a problem that affects their situation, begin to cherry pick the best reply to make them look good.
But I don't understand that part about the "field". Does that mean if he jumped the chick in corn field, he should be put to death? I can't check Deut.22.25 because I don't own a bible.
I only keep books around that have a happy ending,yuk, yuk.

Thank the Lord for this site, Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and everyone whose testimony is on this site. Christianity, go fug yourself!
Dave, did you ever think you'd have people calling you lord?
Ah, that's funny. But in any case, praise be, master Dave.
Anyways, my sincerest thanks for the praise, Lady Lorena.
If he did it and they have enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he did it then he should burn in hell. If not then let the poor SOB alone, he has been punished enough by the media.
