The irony, it burns
From that “liberal rag”, the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram, comes this little bit of irony:
A minister at a Dallas-area megachurch was charged with online solicitation of a minor after police said Friday he was caught in an Internet sex sting.
Undercover officers posing as a 13-year-old girl communicated with 52-year-old Joe Barron of Plano for about two weeks. The online conversations were sexual in nature, police said.
Thirteen! WTF is wrong with people? Why is it the more people preach about sin and the evils of others the more likely it is that they are the lowest form of scum imaginable. I’d like to say “innocent until proven guilty”, and I will, but it sure don’t look good for the “good minister”:
Police said they found a web-cam and condoms in Barron’s car.
Yeah, well…

Why is it I suspect even with a “rigorous statistical study” you’d find some reason to believe otherwise? Nobody is an objective observer.
Why don’t you worry about proving God exists, and that all of religion is something but a huge scam.

“Why is it the more people preach about sin and the evils of others the more likely it is that they are the lowest form of scum imaginable.”
I’m sorry, but until I see a rigorous statistical study showing that, after accounting for all the usual suspects, religiousity is significantly correlated with scumness, I’m going to have a hard time believing you on this one.
Do you have a large enough sample to make that claim? Is the media coverage equally distributed regardless of whether the offender is religious? Are you an objective observer?
