Actually not. Here at least, being a public servant means basically that you aren't allowed to fuck up. The legal reprimands are just too immense if one does. It's the self-'taught' nutcase preachers like Jalovaara, who concern me. If people like her; greedy, uneducated and insane, can use the churches' facilities and money for their absurd thoughts and preach to the ignorant and desperate masses, then we are in real trouble. I do not mond priests being monitored and kept on a short leash due to law and bureaucracy, it's the lose cannons that are truly dangerous. Especially because they hide between the church walls and no one regulates them and they answer to no one.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
