A former church pastor is accused of having sex with two teenage boys. Joseph Edmund Conger was pastor at New Life Baptist Church in Cole Camp and at Faith Baptist Church in Climax Springs.

The 44-year-old faces five counts of statutory sodomy from incidents that allegedly happened in 2003.

Conger was a pastor in Cole camp for about two years and in Climax Springs for about six years.

Attached is an article from New Zealand 2005 I thought might interest you....I am totally against ANY organised religion (or disorganised for that matter) having ANY part to play in either politics or education. It gives people like this sick twisted christian below, a privileged position from which to gain access to their victims.

article starts..."Graham Capill completed a spectacular fall from grace today when he was jailed for nine years on child sex charges.

As Christian Heritage Party leader, Graham Capill spoke out against sex before marriage and spent almost 14 years espousing "pro-family" policies.

But the life he led proved far from the moralistic one he preached, as one by one allegations he had indecently assaulted and raped girls emerged.

Capill, 46, last month pleaded guilty in Christchurch District Court to rape, unlawful sexual connection, and three counts of indecent assault against two girls under 12.

He had earlier pleaded guilty to indecently assaulting an eight-year-old girl over a one-year period." end of article.

Until we separate fantasy belief systems from law, politics and education we are in trouble.

ok...would someone please clarify for me...as sick as it may be to mention... statutory sodomy, what exactly is that? I know statutory rape is consensual sex with a minor, and I always thought sodomy refered to anal sex. So, does that me this guy had consensual anal sex with minors, non-consensual anal sex with minors, or (non)consensual regular sex with minors?

I ask because, even though any type of rape is one of the worst things a person can do, anal rape somehow seems 100 times worse. To me anyway.

oh wait...nevermind, I had several articles in tabs, and I thought this one mentioned girls. Please ignore my last comment

rblack:

Many states in the U.S. used to define sodomy as "any sexual intercourse other than penile-vaginal..." So, oral sex, anal sex and any other mutual sexual gratification other than that expressed by the statutes could actually be punishable, usually as a misdemeanor. Most states have removed it from the books (because most fat, white, doughy state officials can't go ON without their hummers ;) ), but I wouldn't be surprised to see some "bible belt" states keeping it WAAAYYY in the back of the books, just in case some "weirdo with ideas of sexual experimentaion" makes his (or her) way into their fine, god-fearing community.
