Do as I say, not as I do

Hmm.  I did a little searching, and the only (church-based) polls that I found state that adultery by pastors is at about 30%, give or take a bit.  I was surprised, considering all of the two-faced sleazeball scumbag preachers/priests that I have met.  I would have put that number A LOT higher.  
    However, if you've got a guy standing up and claiming to be highly-educated, able to interpret Holy Scripture for the Masses, spending his days in prayer on a direct line to the Almighty, that number SHOULD be a lot lower.   Closer, maybe, to the percentage of criminals in America, which is about 4.5 percent.  Oh wait, these are PREECHURS.  Ok, it should match with the percentage of mentally ill in America, that's 18%. 
    But no, it's a full 1/3 of pastors that commit adultery.  The number is surely under-reported.  Surely it's higher for con-artists who have a following.
