Yet another AP article taking any opportunity to bash Christianity.

Now eeeeeevil "preachers" are abusive to women because they have a strained environment.

This relates back to hate crimes and the effort to criminalize chrisitainity.

-Those who have the conscience of faith are homophobic because they teach their children homosexuality is wrong.
-Those who have the conscience of faith are rapists because they don't support abortion on demand
-Those who have the conscience of faith are intollerant because they don't see a religion of peace when its leaders advocate homicide bombers
-Those who have the conscience of faith are hate mongers because they teach there is a right and a wrong.

and now

-Those who have the conscience of faith are wife abusers because their career path involves being a christian preacher.

(newsflash for the ignorant AP reporter, the orthodox faith has had married priests for a few centuries. They seem to have the same human problems AND successes as any other marriage.)

Seriously, it must be very embarassy for institutions of higher learnign to admit their graduates work for the AP.

"Seriously, it must be very embarassy for institutions of higher learnign to admit their graduates work for the AP."

Having worked in radio, and having press credentials for the local NASCAR track... I can assure you that almost anyone in a member organization can submit an AP story, and AP does nothing to check for accuracy. AP does have some writers on its staff, but you'll note that they are rarely given credit for their stories.

The AP is one of the worst for "formula" stories (a term now picked up by Rush Limbaugh). In that light, you rightly note that this story is another "formula" story that comes out when something goes tragically wrong among religious people.
