Ron,  in Australia the figure quoted in the papers was about 7% of
priests being charged...  I dont know of any other profession with
such a high% of child molestors.

RON
  First of all, I doubt the validity of that percentage. Perhaps you
could copy their sources. But more to the point, even if 50% of priests
were pedophiles how would that have any bearing on the fact that most
atheists become atheists because it is sexually convenient?

Ron, how many times are you going to say that? I refer you to your own
words below from, cut from my replies to you on 3-29 and 3-31-98:

      "    RON
           You are living in a dream world! I mean that most atheists, not
all,
           have a problem with God because he forces them to restrain
their
           libidos.   (snip)

          JANET  (snip)
          If I may make such a sweeping assertion as you just did, let me
say
          that the reason you don't want to accept that atheists are moral
human
          beings is that it contradicts your fond belief that morality is
divinely
          revealed. Please, Ron, start thinking about what you say.

          RON
             OK, I'm properly chastened!   (snip)     "

JANET
Not properly chastened enough, apparently, since you have continued to
assert the same thing. You have been asked for evidence several times, but
have not presented any. Do you have any, or are you just unwilling to
retreat from the corner you seem to have painted yourself into?
